The Art of Poetic Cooking

     During the summer, when I am left to my own devices for lunch, I am not one of those people who is content to eat the same peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day for lunch. No, I like to try new meals, and I find ideas for dishes everywhere. For example, the other day, I was watching one of my favorite movies, Napoleon Dynamite, and the scene above inspired me to create a new sort of lunch for myself. After days of variations, added ingredients, and experimenting, I have finally perfected my recipe:     

The Dang Quesadilla* 

Ingredients**: 

 canned corn

 canned black beans

 tomato sauce

 shredded cheddar cheese

 one regulation-sized tortilla

 sour cream

 chicken (already cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces)

 oregano

 salt 

 pepper

Instructions:

1. Put your regulation-sized tortilla on a plate
2. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on the regulation-sized tortilla
3. Put the chicken pieces on the bed of cheese 
4. Cover the chicken with beans and corn
5. Pour tomato sauce over everything
6. Sprinkle healthy amounts of salt, pepper, and oregano on the sauce
7. Heat in the microwave for approximately one minute
8. Remove from microwave (caution, may be hot) and put a spoonful of sour cream on top
9. Blend it all together, and eat the toppings until there is a small enough amount left that you can close the regulation-sized tortilla over it. Then roll the regulation-sized tortilla up and enjoy like a burrito with your favorite beverage on the side. 

And that, folks, is the art of poetic cooking. Enjoy!

*Life as a Starving Poet cannot guarantee that the Dang Quesadilla bears any resemblance to an actual quesadilla. If it does not meet your expectations, we are sorry. Also, we will not be held accountable for any accidents that occur because of eating, enjoying, or creating a Dang Quesadilla in your own home, the home of another, or some other random location. Lastly, feel free to experiment with the recipe, but know that as soon as you change it, it is no longer a Dang Quesadilla that you are creating, and therefore, Life as a Starving Poet won't be held responsible if the thing suddenly mutates on you and destroys Manhattan. Thanks again, and eat wisely, my friends!
