Posted March 18, 2007 Well I suppose people could share Smoothie recipes to health it up a bit. I don't have a specific recipe, I just thought I'd mention that it's a good idea to use frozen fruit for smoothies as it's cheaper to buy, holds the fruits' nutrients better, and also means that there's no need to pour over ice as the smoothie will already be cold. That's probably stating the obvious, but I'm not exactly a culinary expert. I tend to just throw things together and hope for the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2007 Grab yourself a pita-bread, dampen it oh so slightly, smear a layer of your favourite pasta sauce on the top, layer thick with grated cheese, throw some chopped spring onions on there, or some ham or goats cheese or whatever you want, bang in the oven for about 10 minutes, then consume. Delicious home-made mini-pizza FTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2007 I'm book marking this thread, as I'm trying to get into cooking a bit more and stuff. This thread also reminds me that thread eevil made a long time ago, about how to make an awesome sandwich. This thread is also making me very, very hungry. *Eats Brains!* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 19, 2007 I used to make pretty good scones and awesome biscuits with the help of my Teletubbies pastry cutter. I used to have a Tots TV pastry cutter, but I only used it to cut out bits of bread. I tried cooking a few months back but the cakes came out like biscuits and everything was far too sticky.

Posted March 19, 2007 Home made pizza > any takeaway pizza. Dominos thin and crispy base beats any home made pizza because quite simply no one and make it fresh and get it that nice and thin in a home kitchen. Plus they do an awesome tandori chicken pizza. I made a lovely tomato sauce and some really good pasta twas awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 19, 2007 Heres one! It doesnt have a name though - 1. Get some bread. 2. Put margerine on the bread. 3. Put the bread in the microwave for 20 seconds. 4. Eat. And yes, it is supposed to be as soggy as fuck - but you dont have to chew! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2007 Oh dear I wouldn't mind one actually they were cool. Well its not exactly the same. I use tomato purée instead of ketchup and usually turn it into a toasted sandwich - but the principal is the same! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 20, 2007 Rokhed, I'd love to see the recipes for your sandwiches and home made pizzas, if you'd be willing to share those with us. =3 The last person that tried to discover Rokhed's secret recipes found himself in hospital eating through a straw; he'd probably appreciate our smoothie suggestions come to think of it. Sweet chilli sauce goes with everything, even ice cream. It's particularly useful for making simple meals more interesting. To give you an idea, here's an example: Boil some pasta (farfalle, fusilli, penne, whatever you like) until it's al dente — cooked but still firm when bitten. Now you're going to want to lightly fry some chopped vegetables. You can use whatever you have lying around, really, but for an example dice some pepper, onion, and spring onion — if you're feeling adventurous you could even add a bit of pineapple or other 'fleshy' fruit. Once both pasta and vegetables are done mix them in together and apply some sweet chilli sauce. Add as much as you like, but bear in mind it's quite strong and you can always add more later. Mix it all up some more so the sauce has a chance to mingle. There you are, done. You can eat it hot or cold, but personally I prefer to heat it up once I've added the sauce as I find it spreads better. If I can do that without burning anything down I'm sure the rest of you can.
