hiiiiii communists who live in my pc, do any of you know how to cook?
i don't. at all. a few days ago my roommate taught me how to scramble an egg, and i had never had broccoli or cauliflower or (most other vegetables ๐) until he let me try some of his, so that's approximately where i'm at with food knowledge. given that i'm clueless and live with several people in a completely open plan house, i try to avoid cooking anyway because i'm constantly being watched in the kitchen and people are making their little comments. BUT work is sending me traveling so i have a kitchen all to myself for 2 weeks and an affordable supermarket about 10 minutes walk away. i plan to use this time to try to learn a bit <3
the only problem is that i have absolutely no clue where to start. i can make rice and boil pasta and that's about it. do any of you have recipes that are accessible for a noob and will help me grind my skill up? 
or any idea of places online for my situation?
i have no dietary restrictions and i'm open to trying pretty much anything once. i'm just confused and every recipe i click on online seems to be some artisan shit that needs 2 hours and tools and ingredients i've never heard of
Easy recipe that I make for dinner pretty frequently
You take a little oil (around a tbsp), put it in a saucepan and swirl it around until it coats the bottom
Put that thing on a burner over medium heat and get it to the point where it starts to shimmer (it'll look wavy)
Meanwhile, take two standard size cans of black beans and open them up, drain the bean water out of one of them and put them to the side (no need to rinse them)
Add one tbsp chili powder (i like chipotle powder myself), two tsp garlic powder, two tsp onion powder, one tsp dried oregano (Mexican oregano if you can find it) into the oil and stir them around so they don't burn, do that for about 30 seconds
Once everything is fragrant, dump them beans in there, both cans, yes with the bean water from the one can, cook it all together until it's hot
Taste your beans for salt and pepper, add some to your personal preference
Now the fun part, you going to want to take your spoon (or a potato masher if you have one) and you're going to smash the beans until they're a paste
You want to have it be at a spreadable consistency, so if they seem too thick, add a little water; if they're too thin, let them cook down a little
Congrats, you just made refried beans, perfect for making burritos, tacos, nachos, tostadas, etc.
