Posted March 20, 2007 My supper from yesterday was macaroni cheese. Get some penne pasta and just leave it boiling. Then in a seperate pan melt a large lump of butter. Once it's melted add small amounts of sieved flour into the butter a stir it into a big yellow paste. Then little by little add milk and continuously stir out all the lumps. You should end up with a lovely smooth sauce. Add some grated chedder or red leicester and a bit of pepper, salt and paprika to the sauce and mix it up with the pasta and some chopped tomatoes. Delicious macaroni cheese is in your grasp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 20, 2007 an easier way to make that sauce is just to add all 3 ingredients (milk butter and flour) in at once and stir it all together till its thick.... Hmmm, whenever I do that I just end up with little lumps of flour bobbing about in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 20, 2007 One that is actually edible that I know how to make is: Carrot and Orange soup! You need: half an onion 2 carrots some water a stock cube one of those big oranges What you do, is cook the onion pieces for a little bit - but dont burn them or everything is nasty. Put in the water and the stock cube and the carrot (which is all chopped by the way) and boil/simmer/cook/heat for 25 minutes. Then you take your orange and squeeze all the juice out of it. Find a blender, and put the soup, along with your orange juice in it - and whizz it until there are no lumps. At this point, I would put in some food colouring, preferably blue, but it has a tendancy to turn your shit whatever colour you put in it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2007 Here's a recipe for a Thai Chicken and Veg Stir-Fry. I used this recipe in Food Tech about 3 years ago, and it was nice. You'll need: 200g of Chicken (Cut into thin strips) Vegetable Oil 1 crushed garlic clove 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger OR 1/2 cms of fresh ginger 1 red or green pepper, de-seeded and sliced. 1 small onion finely chopped 1 carrot cut into strips Worcester Sauce Pinch of sugar Pinch of salt and pepper First off, put 1 tablespoon of Worcester Sauce into a bowl, and stir in the sugar, salt and pepper. Grate the fresh ginger on the chopping board and stir this into the sauce mixture (For ground ginger simply stir into sauce), leave for a while. Using a French cooks knife, deseed and slice the pepper thinly. Put into seperate mixing bowl, now slice the onion and add that to the pepper in the mixing bowl. Peel the carrot with a peeler, then slice into thin strips approx 2cm in length and half a cm wide. Add to mixing bowl. Slice the raw chicken into thin bite sized strips (approx 5cm in length), leave on chopping board. Crush the garlic onto the chopping board. Collect a wok or large pan and measure 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into pan/wok. Put onto hob, medium heat for 1-2 mins until the oil is hot Take pan off hob Add the raw chicken and garlic, return to heat. Stir using fish slice or palette knife (not sure what I used here, maybe anything will do) and cook for 3mins until the chicken has changed colour and begins to cook. The chicken should sizzle gently, you may need to adjust the heat on your hob. Take pan off hob. Now add the carrots, onions and peppers to the pan, return to the hob and cook for 3/4 mins, and stir for the entire time. You may need to adjust the heat. Take pan off hob. Stir the sauce ingredients together to make sure they are evenly mixed. Pour this mixture into the pan and return to the hob to cook for another 2 mins. Make sure you stir well while cooking. It should be ready by now. You may wish to add more Worcester Sauce. It is nice after all. You've made enough for 2 people. Mind you, It's nice, so don't bother sharing it with someone.

Posted October 7, 2007 Here's a couple of simple ones if your REALLY poor (like me). PIZZA TOAST: (snide) BREAD TOMATO KETCHUP/PASTE CHEESE Put your bread in the toaster and toast it. When it's done spread tomato sauce on the toast (ala buttering the toast) and then sprinkle cheese on top. Put it in the grill and the cheese melts into the tomato sauce. Eat your cheap-ass pizza! (Use tomato paste if you don't like your ketchup strong.) Add mushroom/onion/garlic/salt/Pepper if you wanna make it taste like M&S. SPANISH TOAST: (Freakin' GORGEOUS!!) Ingredients: BREAD GARLIC OLIVE-OIL TOMATOES CHEESE HAM Toast your bread. Take a clove of garlic and rub it over the bread (more = strong garlic-ness)! Drizzle olive oil on toast. Add sliced ham/tomatoes/cheese onto the toast. Trust me...It's gorgeous. And girls seem to LOVE it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I want to make some tiramisu as well and post it here. It's absolutely delicious. Its some kind of powder for cooking....Im not sure on how important it is. Put it this way, there was a pot of Baking Soda (Or Bicarbonate of Soda, may be called) and a pot with no lable. I assumed the lableless pot was Baking powder. Lol if it wasnt my cookies had too much baking soda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 8, 2007 My secret recipe for Shepherds pie. Ingredients 800g good quality minced lamb 5 or 6 medium sized potatoes (depends on the size of the dish you'll be cooking the pie in, a flatter dish will need more potatoes than a deeper dish) Butter milk 1 stock cube 1 heaped tablespoon of Madras curry powder 6 cloves of garlic pepper sage onion parsley 200g of grated extra mature cheddar cheese Directions Preheat your oven to 190 C.Take the mince, and break it up as well as possible in to your oven dish. sprinkle the spoonful of curry powder over the mince. Mix the stock cube with half a cup of water and pour over the mince, stir well then flatten out in the dish, and then place in the oven for 20 minutes. Boil your potatoes for 10-12 minutes, peeling beforehand is optional, personally I don't, and drain, then add generous amounts of butter and milk and mash, whilst mashing gradually mix in half your cheese. Cut bout a quarter of your onion and chop finely, and crush your garlic and add both to the mash plus a tablespoon of sage, mix thoroughly. By now it should be time to take out the mince, do so and cover with the mash, then place the remaining half of the cheese on top of the mash and sprinkle with parsley, replace in oven and cook for another 20 minutes before serving. Should feed four normal people. Had it for dinner last night, and it is no exaggeration to say it is the best shepherds pie I've ever tasted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
