DING
You know what to do.

I'm having reheated spaghetti bolognese from last night. I don't think I cooked the pasta long enough though so it might be crunchy.

I couldn't agree more.
I'm hoping with TGB moving in, maybe I'd be cooking for two, or even three if SF joins us, more often. It's so much easier to cook for sevrel, and you get feed back and if the meal's good; a little bit of praise, which is always nice. It's taken me years, but I can now scrum up a good meal for one person, but it's not easy, and a lot of the time I need to think up sevrel meals to use up the similar ingredients.

How did you do your stirfry? There is a thai place near me that does a really nice pork sweet'n'sour type dish where the pork is really crispy, and it's really lush. When I do chicken, I cover it in cornflower, egg, cornflower; shallow fry, put to the side, add at the end....and I get a really nice coating on it and it goes crispy. My mate pointed me out that if you cover the meat with cornflower, it'll give it a silky tender consistancy.

Bollocks, in the time it takes to boil some pasta, I can do sevreal really nice sauces and bits to go with it.
Last night inside 10 minutes, 15 max, from start to finish, I I made a creamy crab pasta with chilli/garlic/spring-onion/parcley/chives.

I'm not saying a ding-meal every now and then isn't a bad thing, but I don't buy the time one, it's lazyness. It _is_ cheaper to buy one of those meals, espesh if you're cooking for one, but it's on par with a school canteen. But if you plan a few meals with the ingredients, then it isn't that much more expensive.

I used to find cooking tedious
but now I'm really enjoying it. Google puts thousands of simple recipes at your fingertips and they're really not that hard if you avoid pastry.

I've found myself thinking back on stuff I've done myself and thinking "that was brilliant" for hours afterwards.

I like to add some toasted pine nuts, raisens and maybe some sweet potato (if it doesn't already have that stuff)
Then stuff halfed red peppers with it, top with motzerella and bake for 30 minutes until the motzerlla is crispy.

Other things to add to that
- Sliced chorizo: cut into strips and crisp them up in some oil, add to the couscous and mix.
- Between the cheese and cous cous add a light amount of some sauce... anything tomarto based works; like tandori paste or stir-in pots. I don't add a lot to that though, just a little.

I neede to be iin work early today and made the most boring packed lunches ever.
Turkey salad for girlfriend and daughter, red leicester and tomato chutney for me, all in submarine rolls and with only fruit as an accompaniment.
I've had my apple and am currently fondling my kiwi to determine whether to have it now or leave to ripen for tomorrow.

Tune in again tomorrow to find out what I decided to do.

Turkey is indeed boring, but the red leicester and tomato chutney sounds good.

Meatball Salad from Subway

It'd be a lot cheaper and interesting to prepare the sandwiches yourself, you know?
(, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 12:57, Reply)
Aye, I know
But currently, I'm getting lunch for £2 per day, and it's healthier than what I could make at home, more filling too. Also, if I buy stuff for home, I get bored of it very quickly, this way I can have something different every day.

Plus, preparing for dieting depresses me.

And you eat when you're depressed, don't you?

£2/day is quite good, I'd just get bored of the same food every day.

That I do!
I have a terrible tendency to stuff my face when I've had a bad day, so a salad is perfect, as I don't just munch through loads after it.

I get the sub of the day in a salad bowl, so it's not too bad. Wednesday is a bit boring, but ah well.

I must admit, I can't stand the sweet onion. I used to really like it, then went off it really badly
I tend to go for a little BBQ sauce if I get it on a sub, but if I just get a salad, I tend to ask for some extra meatball sauce, and go with that.

Plus, a little oregano on there is beautiful.
