Advice needed!
I need very important advice, on two different concepts.
The first I will probably have people jumping to give --in Chicago, it has been declared that each of us kids will cook at least one dinner a week. I made some excellent pasta and cheese last week based on Magus's recipe, but I've slacked this week, and have no idea what to cook tomorrow night. Advice and recipes are needed!
Specifically I want to actually make something, ideally not mostly from a box. Stir-fry is a definite possibility, but I don't know what one would put in such a beast. I'm leaning away from a pasta dish, since both Nik and I did so.
I am, of course, not a cook and do not know how to cook, have any interest in cooking, or ever cook, and any such statements that seem to be to the contrary are a lie. Please take my utter lack of skill into account (ie, "dice" does not make as much sense to me as "chop into tiny pieces")
Also, this kitchen is a little bit lacking in equipment. There are two or three each of pots and frying pans, but we lack a bit in things like spoons. So, again, simpler recipes (that are not from a box!!) are better.
The second I will poss...
...dude, I totally just solved the second problem. I need a historical fiction book to read for the library reading challenge thing (which mom is totally kicking my ass on, mostly because I keep reading things like KoDT comics, which are awesome, but I'm not willing to call them some of the eight novels I have to read) and it occurs to me that "Napoleonic era" is totally historical fiction.
And therefore Napoleonic era with dragons is also totally historical fiction, right? Wevs, it follows the rules for histfic I was setting for myself namely not boring, and ideally Regency. Sweet!
(Unrelatedly, Scott Pilgrim is an awesome first book, and I am so pissed that the rest of the series isn't going to make it back to the library until after we've left. I may have to figure out the fastest (biking?) route to a local library to fix this.)

MOOP!
ETA: When it comes to recipes, things without many spices are preferred, due to the aforementioned woefully understocked kitchen. So yeah, that. Also, thank you all. <3
