Creativity in the Küche/Kitchen

Last night, out of sheer culinary boredom and a lack of proper ingredients, I conducted a little experiment with my dinner. I had a couple chicken breasts that I need to eat before I go out of town and decided to cook it. But, I didn't have any oil and just margarine to fry it in... didn't like that idea so I looked around my kitchen. Then I decided to try fry/boiling it in beer. And I also had a container of chili pepper flakes (a rare spicy find in Germany), so I sprinkled a lot onto the chicken. It actually turned out pretty well. I paired it with some pasta I'd already opened and some cheese sauce that was also already open. I always have a hard time with cooking far too much pasta and last night was no exception... but since I don't have any plastic storage containers, I just have to keep eating to prevent waste. It's not always fun but it works.
