Our normal food is meh
Formals range from meh+ to great

Any small special dinner (i.e. subject dinners) is fantastic (especially when the tutor choosing it goes for whatever on the menu sounds most exciting, this year was thai fishcakes for starter, followed by poussins (little chickens) with black truffle)

formals every night
except guest night (Fri) and self-service night (Sat). But for us a formal is just sticking your gown on over normal clothing. Only guest night is formal black tieish.

I missed my subject dinner. Was annoyed especially given that they had not only partridge, but my favourite dessert wine as well :(

Formals once a week
At least shirt+tie for guys (i've never understood smartness rules for ladies), normally suit. No gowns (because they just make everyone look silly unless you're a scholar)

Our wine fellow is a genius, give him a menu and he selects something utterly wonderful to go with it.

We created the 30 silly things
to do with your useless Oxford gown, on facebook

Bah,
Doesn't show up on search.

For halfway hall (the only one we need to wear gowns to), one of my friends had forgotten to get a bow tie, so he used the silly shoulder bits instead.

Noone noticed.

Today's attempt at cooking was a fail
... so cereal for tea again

I have literally no food
Quite hungry actually

Ran out of ingredients
Missed hall.
A nice healthy dinner of snickers and mini cheddars.
Need to do a big shop on Monday (back home this weekend), anyone got any good suggestions on things to cook?

My idea of cooking
is putting things in the microwave, so sadly no.

My dinner was a Elevenses raisin bake bar, a can of diet coke and a packet of Chilli Doritos

You're making me hungry now.
I literally have nothing unhealthy :(
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Fri 28 May 2010, 1:37, Reply)

The only food I have left
is Special K cereal bars and satsumas. I am fighting the urge to get something really unhealthy. Along the lines of 'won't somebody think of the thighs!'

I don't have snacking food.
I cook from scratch, so everything in have is in basic ingredient form.
So I have a lot of food, just nothing I can actually eat.

My specialty is what I like to call "Lets see whats in the cupboard stir fry"
Stir fry some chicken in olive oil, whack in a few veg. Then add random amounts of soy sauce, chili sauce, lemon juice and honey. Sorted.

That's the plan during exams
Got a ton of mint to use up (turns out it grows REALLY FAST) so lamb burgers are definitely on the horizon

There's also "What's about to go off pasta sauce"
Soften onions and peppers in a pan, tin of chopped tomatos or tomato passata and then literally anything you can think off works well.

Or chicken with cheese
The cheese helps disguise the risk of salmonella.

Also "pot at the back of the fridge soup"

Not sure what it was when I first cooked it, but boil it in a big pan until dead and chuck a load of herbs in
