Hospital food

We had 'pasta bake' yesterday at a hospital in between classes. We had a chicken bowl but couldnt find anything else interesting. threr were many menus hanging but those stations were not open. The instructor pointed us to the pasta bake idea.
After eating the bowl of salsa over beans over rice over chicken over lettuce, I recalled the bowl my friends used to rave about the bowl. I am at a stage where I feel hungry and when I have had half of the food, my stomach feels like its full but I know I am still hungry.
I thought hospital food might be tastless and expensive. It was neither. But somehow looking at people in scrubs with fried chicken and fries on a plate, burger and fries on another plate, it seemed like they were sinning.

I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
