I heard some freshers talking about food the other day
"Last night I made pasta from SCRATCH!"
I said "What, with a food processor and flour and eggs?"
He said "No, I bought some pasta and one of those sauces."
God help us all.

For me that counts as proper cooking
Even I wouldn't go so far as to say "from scratch" though.

I'm dreading the Freshers' arrival
They're arriving next week. And they're all going to be twats.

I am but a lowly PhD student, but I'm trying to work out the point at which I started to have it in for undergraduates. Current thinking suggests I was still an undergraduate myself at the time...

My freshers are here now
I have a steady stream of them coming through my office.

I think it's because I know
they'll be one long swathe of public school gits and punchabletrendy indie-kid types. Both of whom have their own special ways of getting my back up by assuming that since they've farted their way this far through life they deserve some kind of fucking medal. Come on in, children, hopefully within 6 months you will, like I did, taste the lukewarm ashes of your dreams and aspirations.

Ours arrived last week
They look a lot older than last year's batch.
Ahem.

Im beginning to think I'm getting to old to work here
All these hot young ladies walking about the place all with 1990-1991 birthdates.

Well I felt like that last year.
I thought, "No more pesting the freshers."
But this year I feel it's ok to at least look. They all look around 20. The boys that is.

Well not literally from scratch.
The sauce is always made from scratch though.

What, the 'whine' sauce?
I don't think I want to eat anything you've scratched.

My cooking is top-notch I will have you know.
My only real cheat is tinned tomatoes.

You don't need a food processor,
just mix it with your hands,
(PsychoChomp, Wed 30 Sep 2009, 12:01, Reply)

Oh I meant the other food processors
That are like a mangle for pasta
