Coffee-Crazed Cookin'

How to cook a magical casserole all hyped up on coffee....

Step 1. Go out with a friend for coffee on a Sunday afternoon at 4pm in the afternoon after being off the drop for a few months. Be sure to order a tall.
Step 2. Arrive home buzzing with a caffeine frenzy that you *know* is not going to wear off before bedtime. Make the command decision to cook a casserole for next weeks lunches to burn off some of the energy.
Step 3. You are pretty low on traditional makings for casserole. Decide to not let a small thing like that stand in your way.
Step 4. Put on some water to boil for the pasta. Ferret energetically through the contents of the fridge and pantry cupboards to find ingredients with an air of creativity about you.
Step 5. Assemble the following ingredients;
The dessicated remnants of a big bag of spinach purchased approximately a month and a half ago
The last 3 mushrooms
The last tomato
An onion, the length of whose life-span it is important not to question
Approx 250g of random tube pasta
2 small tins of tomato and capsicum flavoured tuna
Step 6. Slice the mushrooms manically into slivers about the width of my chewed-down fingernails.
Step 7. Repeat the process for tomato, onion and spinach. Mash the tuna energetically.
Step 8. Throw pasta in the boiling water in an unceremonious fashion, splashing boiling water around the place, leaving your skin with that invigorated look.
Step 9. After pasta is cooked, drain haphazardly with some more slopping of boiling hot water.
Step 10. Throw in and stir in the shredded veges like your life depends on it.
Step 11. After realising that you haven't given any thought to what sauce to include in the casserole, randomly grab a tub of "El Paso Spicy Bean Salsa" from the pantry, and throw it in the mixture.
Step 12. Hurl the contents into the casserole dish. Heap generous amounts of parmesan cheese on the top of the casserole.
Step 13. Utter a brief but fervent wish that it turns out somehow, throw it into the oven that you don't quite recall having pre-heated.
Step 14. Approx. 45 min later, extract the lightly toasted casserole. Allow to cool, then freeze.

Defrost and serve a piece for lunch at work two days later.

Marvel at how amazingly tasty coffee-crazed cookin' is.
