Cheap Delicious Dinner on the fly

Tonight I quickly made food which tastes delicious and is cheap and easy by my standards. The process is as follows: Boil dried millet and black-eyed peas in separate pots of water, a 3:1 water:millet ratio and 4:1 water:beans ratio. Meanwhile wash and chop green beans, yellow onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 branch of ginger, 1 large portabello mushroom and add in some whole okra. Stir fry in olive oil on medium heat and cook the onions, garlic and ginger until onions are barely translucent and then add in green beans, mushroom and okra. When beans are almost done strain them and add them to the stir fry mixture. Add ground ginger, Italian seasoning, Turkish seasoning, Italian parsley and Wrist-flip mixture a few times to mix flavors. Cover mixture and simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, to the cooked and moist millet add lots of paprika, ground chili pepper, and cayenne pepper, then stir and add soy sauce to taste. The key is to be generous with all the spices. The millet should be orange when you're done. This made enough for lunch tomorrow and it was very satisfying.
