Well I suppose you bake
so that sort of counts. I think I'd like cooking more if I was better at it haha

Gawd, I've only baked properly once and it was so exhausting and annoying
I have a huge new found respect for bakers

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do you like Crab Sticks / Prawns?

Also, there are the delivery services theses days that I hear are good, can't say I've used one though on account of me living in easy walking distance from quite a few supermarkets/shops.

Thanks Gonz
I'm a vegetarian though, and I can't use delivery because I never have *any* money on my debit card.

Heh, no worries =)
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.

Can't help with your personal international credit crunch crisis though, that one is a lot tougher.
