My gastric was acting up on Sunday night. Not sure why but I suspect was the indigestion from lunch because I walked a lot after lunch, then I ate dinner too early and fast, and then I missed supper time. I was so tired that night (most likely from walking for more than half an hour in the heavy rain - I had a brolly but my boots weren't waterproof so they were soaking wet, and then not going home right after that) so I took an hour nap from 9 to 10pm, and when I woke up, my gastric was feeling weird. After an hour or two, it started hurting so I knew I had to eat something. I would usually just eat so plain crackers but there weren't any at home. So I decided to cook some spaghetti and eat it plain.
I boiled a small pot of water then added a small bunch of spaghetti (I think there was only like 15 to 20 sticks) and an egg in it. Boiled them for 10 minutes, as instructed by the directions for al dente spaghetti. Then I just took the spaghetti out of the water and into a bowl, and added just a little olive oil (really little - like a few drops) because I know my gastric can't handle too much oil when it's hurting. Added some salt and pepper as well so it wouldn't be so blend. I ran the hard boiled egg under cold water for 30 seconds and peeled it immediately. I found that it was always best to peel it right after removing it from boiling water as the shell would be separate from the egg (maybe due to the shell expanding because of the heat?). I usually peel by cracking the shell everywhere and it would come off easily as a large piece of shattered shell as the membrane is holding the shell together.
So tadah, that's my quick supper that took around 15 minutes to cook!
