what on your menu for dinner tonight?


For me, being a bit of a broke student, its some toast, a fried egg and an apple.

I hope she made lots of spaghetti!

Probably nothing.

Tortelloni stuffed with cheese and spinach.

...and to follow I am drinking a gimlet.

I hope she made lots of spaghetti!
mmmmmm....spaghetti!

I am am making chicken strips sauteed with green peppers,tomatoes and garlic.

Microwaved chicken.

I will probably eat a car, because that sounds really awesome.

Whatever I can hunt down in the vast forests of Manhattan Island and strangle to death with my bare hands. Obviously.

Whoever crosses my path first.

Cheese Schnitzel.
Rice.
Brown Sauce.
Red Onion.
Pear Cider.

This, but I had a single burger with onions inside it, cheesy beans and 2 waffles. (As in potato waffles.)

I tried that once. That's why I'm not allowed on any land maintained by the New York Parks Department anymore.

I'm having frozen pizza, a ring of frozen shrimp cocktail and a slab of uncut sushi-grade tuna fillet (not fakepost).

hmmm.. PLANNED: teriyaki Chicken wings and canned corned beef and onion mix.

but actually? we'll see.

I made pizza, I've never tried making the dough from scratch before and I had fun throwing it around trying to emulate the guys in pizzarias.

I got to make an mess of the place and had something tasty to eat, an all round successful evening in my book.

Pork & beans

:DTacos actually

My burger...just went into the microwave for a couple of minutes. If I earn 200 more lazy points, I level up.

Not sure yet. Right now I'm inclined to make chicken parm, with rice and a salad. I may also make some cookies; I'm in the mood to bake something.

And people say religion doesn't help anyone

Since a few of the boys are coming over and it is the weekend I reckon it is going to be Pizza.

We had ham and beans crock pot style.

I had Hunan Chicken, with beer and a couple of those little Reese's Eggs (the 180 calorie size).
I am feeling so white trash now, it's great.

I'm going into the city to have Pho at a Vietnamese place.

And people say religion doesn't help anyone

i am trying to see if i can convince them to fund a missionary trip to India for me. Never mind it will be to hang out with my GF(she will visit too before she starts undergrad in us). and i will just turn myself in for being a missionary when it is time for me to go back.

Turned out to be meatloaf, string beans, salad, and some lemon cookies. Ah well, I'm sure I'll get a chance to go out and slaughter wild animals like a true man someday.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Ended up being Subway, and the other guys that came over brought aroung Hungry Jacks (or as you Yanks know it as Burger King)

I might be having pizza tomorrow night still apart of the weekend still apart of the time to eat crap

Bleu vein melted on pears, with roasted oats and almonds, covered in honey

Lol, pretentious much?

Thai Green Curry. Takes me ages to make but well worth it

Pepperoni pizza. Yay for payday.

Pizza. We're ordering Pizza as we are continuing our gaming session.

A Fray Bentos pie with chips and peas, then some fresh fruit for pudding.

I'm in the process of making a chicken curry with naan bread.

Probably a burrito, the same goddamn thing I have every night because it's the only place on campus open when I eat dinner.

Linguini with freshly made pesto.

I haven't had a Fray Bentos pie for a long time, gives me a good idea

Fray Bentos pies are awful. My mother insisted on buying them for me when I was at uni, I used to trade them with a housemate who had no taste and spent his life playing Neverwinter Nights and so had no time to cook.

I wish my mother would buy me food for uni.

I got a pillow case sized bag of pasta and random tins at the start of each trimester. When you have no money it's surprising how many things you can think of that involve pasta.

Yeah tell me about it, I need to increase my stock of cheap pasta recipes.

I had a potato, chopped up and fried in bacon grease with sesame seeds, curry powder, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and garlic. Then I added some shredded bacon and provolone cheese, before covering the whole mess in tomato sauce.
It was delicious.

I had a cabbage wrap.

Oh dear oh dear. *sigh*

Pastry soggy at the bottom or burnt on the top and mediocre fillings. Not exactly gourmet cuisine.

Pastry soggy at the bottom or burnt on the top
Learn to adapt. Put a couple of holes in the bottom and the sides as well as taking the top off. Tada.
mediocre fillings.
I dunno, they capture the essence of A Pie Which Is Really Just A Stew In Pastry pretty well.
Not exactly gourmet cuisine.
No, but then nor is it supposed to be.

Lol, pretentious much?

What? It's a cheap snack

Filet mignon, baked potato and lots of peas, all cooked on/in my new stove, which was delivered and set up today by burly efficient men from Sears. I now have a stove with five burners. And a convection fan thingy. And a window in the oven door. And a light. So I can watch my cookies burn, not just be surprised when I take them out of the oven 2 minutes too late.

I am very, very, very excited. And yes, also a loser. I don't care. Yay stove! All my prayers to Hebe have come true!

You're not cooking it right.

/has to use a communal kitchen, including an oven that is nasty and doesn't work half time/

I'll probably be having soup and maybe some bread tonight. I'm over budget as it is (and I'm lazy), so nothing fancy.

I dunno.

Samosas, garlic naan, rice, chana masala and aloo tikka masala. Yummm.

Cheese Ravioli in meat sauce with garlic bread.

I love my mom!

Four strips of bacon and two fried eggs (over easy), served on top of a piece of fried toast which was made with my last piece of bread.

I went round to a friends and we all had a Sunday roast dinner yay!
:p

Roast potatoes, onion-cooked chicken, cabbage, carrots and topped with Bisto gravy.

Tonight I will be having schnitzel parmigiana, with herb potatoes and peas and corn.

Question for those of you from the U.K.:

What is the state of Indian food in the U.K.? I see curries on your BBC, usually while that tiny ferocious woman yells at people about being fat, and they look somewhat like Thai curries and nothing like most of the Indian food I eat. I know curry is very popular in Britain (at least, television has led me to believe this), but are other Indian dishes prevalent as well? I pondered this as I mopped up stray chickpeas with a bit of naan. I assume there are authentic Indian restaurants, of course... are "curries" an entirely different thing?

:( You have my sympathies. The oven in my first apartment conked out the first time I tried to use it, I had to throw everything away and didn't try again for months.

Tonight I made spaghetti with Italian sausage. Salad before, and cream puffs for dessert.

Did you make the dough yourself? Puff pastry is a delicate matter--hats off if you did!

I had turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, creamed corn, and Brussels sprouts.

Beef fajitas over rice and steamed zucchini. Actually, quite nice.

It was hotpot last night (root vegetables in a red wine gravy, with sliced potatoes on top), and I think it'll be mushroom and pea risotto tonight.

And for afters there's cinnamon rolls.

last night it was roast chicken, roast potatoes, roast carrots, stuffing, gravy, bread sauce, sausages, cauliflower cheese, and peas. yay for sunday roasts!

tonight: no clue yet. maybe spaghetti...

We are lucky over here in that we have a well established immigrant population from all corners of the Indian sub-continent, so we get Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan curries as well as those from all over India. The quality is all down to economics - go somewhere cheap and you'll get a generic curry made to suit the UK palatte. Invest a bit of time and effort and you can find some spectacular dishes. Recently I went to a place and had a Methi dish, and the owner even told me the type of Fennugreek they use to spice it (I didn't even know what fennugreek was)
I was also lucky to spend a month in India recently and can honestly say our versions are not a million miles away from the authentic stuff, if you can avoid Chicken Tikka Massala

Mmmm... roast potatoes.
The only decent thing ever to come out of the British cuisine.
