changes for me in the last 6 months
I've started cooking. No more (well not often) ready meals, it's all raw stuff turned into proper meals.

The biggest shock to me is that it's really not hard. Takes hardly more time than "pierce film lid several times" and is so much more tasty.

-> conversation on FB chat just now --
Oo! I saw "Law & Order: UK" on BBC America. They even have the 'doink doink'. And judges with curly white wigs.

I've not seen either so I'll take your word for it

Not just an -either. Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, Law & Order: Trial & Jury, Law & Order: CI, and Lawn & Order: L.A.

and now Law and Order: Cheapside

I'm holding out for "Law & Order: Henry VIII and the Tower of London."

he beheaded her on a technicality

I hope he's got duct tape, they've ordered a retrial.

I've never understood why people eat ready meals
OK I enjoy cooking but honestly I find ready meals to be a real chore.

it's been a revelation
also I really like beating the fuck out of a chicken or turkey breast after I come home from work to make an escalope. The Internet is the best recipe book ever.

If you ever see
any of the Dairy Cook Books in charity shops or what ever, buy them.
Best cook books you can get. No fancy nonsense, just teaches you the basics.

*googles biscuit recipe*
*gets 100 good ideas*
*makes own biscuits*

At least, that's the way it usually works. Although I'm more the savoury, so it's "chicken leeks recipe" or "pork mushroom recipe"

Some of us aren't that fussed about food
and don't think the benefit of cooking properly is worth the time it takes.

I do cook, because it's better for you, but I intersperse it with fire and forget stuff like readymeals or pizzas.
