a MacGyver in the kitchen

Making do with what I've got is an important lesson from my time here in Spain. I have to say, I think I'm getting pretty good at throwing together a decent meal with whatever happens to be around and without reference to a recipe. Tonight, for example, I had on hand some porkchops, an onion, a clove of garlic, a couple potatoes, some soy sauce, some orange juice, and a bit of salt and pepper. The result: some pretty darn good porkchops and potatoes if I do say so myself.

Pretty soon I'll be a regular MacGyver in the kitchen, able to whip up a gourmet meal for four with nothing more than an egg, a chicken bone, some cheese and a length of string. Gotta have the string. Ooh, and maybe a paperclip.
