Yeh', so, anyway.
Totally just made a pasta sauce by getting everything vaigley related to a tomarto sauce in a pan, it's alright, there are herbs and wine and shit.

It's a bit crap to tell you the truth, but it'll do as a base for pizza or pasta bakes or for very quick dinners over the next 5 days or soo.

And, erm, stuff, innit.

I just bought a gigantic bag of adult food to get her off the puppy food, she took one bit in her mouth and spit it back out :(((

Try mixing the adult food with a bit of gravy until she gets used to it.
Low salt gravy if you can get it.

just a dollop?
I try not to give her table food because it upsets her stomach, I've heard they make some sort of sauce to put on dry food to make it more appealing
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 19:29, Reply)

Just something she can't resist to make her eat it.
If you can get dog gravy then all the better. Then just wean her off it.

The baking I do is a piece of piss though.
Get ingredients. Chuck ingredients in bowl. Blitz with electric whisk. Pour into cake tin. Put in oven. Remove from oven. Bask in cake-love.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Thu 10 Mar 2011, 19:37, Reply)

Most of my cooking isn't far off from that, just chop it up and bung it all in a pan.
I've developed quite good knife skills, so I don't think twice about chopping up stuff when cooking for just a few. It really isn't that far off, in fact, it's less, I never messure or weigh stuff.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Thu 10 Mar 2011, 19:47, Reply)

I have trouble getting ingredients though.
There's no shops within walking distance, so I have to get a lift to a supermarket if I want to do a proper shop, but even then I don't tend to buy stuff to actually cook with because it will go off before I've had chance to eat it. Food doesn't bother me that much, I'm definitely a 'eat to live' rather than 'live to eat' person.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Thu 10 Mar 2011, 19:50, Reply)

I can't even begin to count up the amount of stuff I've binned, it's really hard when cooking for one.
But there are a few ingredients you could try that have long shelf life, if you wanted too that is, I got a few meals that take litterally as long as it takes to boil some pasta that taste amazing where everything bar just one ingredient is out of a jar that lasts for a good 6 months or soo.

I can still help recipy wise, in fact, I'd say about a third of the things I cook wouldn't make much of a difference without meat.

Sorry, that was very rude of me, I asked such a question and ran off.
I guess it's a bit like a football fanatic and me; I don't understand such deep seated love for the game.

I find food amazing, it's not the eating of it, although that is good... It's the fact that it is something everyone has in common, everyone has loves and hates food wise, and memories too, both bitter and sweet. And that it is a great insight into other cultures. I also love the pleasure other poeple show me when they try my food, that is the tastiest bit for me. And the creativity away from a screen.

A bit of an amazing cheat-ingredient that I've recently descovered is this: www.verylazy.com/ , I'm going for a herb thing at the moment, I have in the fridge
- Mint
- Bay Leafs
- Romsary
- Basil
- parsley
- corrianda.

Marks'n'sparks have really cute pots filled with compose/seeds; grow your own, I'm going to give that a shot in the kitchen (rather than the Forrest Of Death). I've tried it with ASDA's grow your own already grown lot, and the'yre shit.

do not plant the mint in teh same pot as anything else
it will destroy it
