making myself feel better

[serene]

Cooking helps my mood, and I figured it would also warm up the house and me, too. But I have no onions, and it's hard to cook when you're me and there are no onions. So I went hunting for something with onions already in it, and found two boxes of chicken chili. I sliced black olives and mixed them in with the chili, and put that mixture in a buttered casserole dish. Topped it with some polenta I made (added chili powder, goat cheese, and butter to the polenta). Baked it for a half hour. Very, very yummy. I feel a lot better now. (Partly because I cried on my partners, partly because I'm warming up, partly because I cooked, and partly because I'm finally in my fucking house.)
