Welcome to cooking for beginners :lol: :lol: :lol:

What do you guys do most of the time when you are hungry? If you do cook yourself, whats your "repertoire"?

I live alone, most of the time I cook myself. Breakfast is usually cereals, sendwiches, omlett, "toasty" and stuff like that. Lunch/dinner, depending on how much time i have and how hungry i am, i mostly use chicken as basis. Different spices and sause, with either fried potatoes, or rice, or just simply some vegetables. Cooking including preparation, never takes me more then 1-1&1/2 hours. I cant make desert though, cakes and stuff are not my speciality... :? If im really hungry and have no time, then noodles, soup, or frozen pizza quickly in the oven.
Most common spices i use are (sp?) paprika, salt, pepper, oregano, basilcon (?), chilli powder, some chinese spice mix...stuff like that.

So, masterchefs, gimme some receipts :mrgreen:
 
easiest for me when I'm home alone and lazy, rice, fried eggs and baked beans... simple as that.... breakfast is Cereal of Sandwiches and lunch, hmm, I have never ate lunch at home before :lol:
 
CUP NODDLES! hot water and wah la BON A PETIT! however u spell it, i am a master at french as u can see
 
I live with my family, and usually my mum or dad cooks. But sometimes I get excited about cooking and create something by myself. For example yesterday I cooked some pasta with some spicy sauce for my folks. And when I happen to be alone, I have to make something for myself, usually some sandwiches and stuff like that.

All in all cooking is fun. And it's good to know how to do things in kitchen, so you won't die to starvation. :)
 
I used to enjoy cooking alot till I got lazy and just started eating Baked beans from the can... I just can't stand standing in the kitchen for an hour to make something that I will finish in 10 mins :lol:
 
You forgot one Pdanev, I live with my mum and I cook about 3 to 4 times a week for them. If I wanna cook something for myself, it's Noodles, Tosty or baken eggs on sandwich. 8)

That's a good point... Sometimes it really feels frustrating when I have cooked very long and then I have arranged the food nicely on the plate. Then I notice that WTF there's no one who really cares about it. It's only for me. Then I eat it in some minutes and that's it.

But still I enjoy cooking, only sometimes it feels frustrating. :)

It's spelled "voila, bon ? petit"

Anyways, I'm a student and I usually don't eat in the morning. I get up at 8h45 and I have to be in class at 9am.

I eat lunch with me mates in the Alma, that's the Alma Mater, THE student restaurant from my uni. Very cheap but very good food.

In Belgium we normally eat slices of bread with something in between, like cheese, ham, salami, chocolate,...

And let's not forget the good ol' Belgian fries with mayonnaise, a nice kebab or a good pizza from next doors.

Bon ? petit, smakelijk eten, have a nice meal, Geschmackvolles Essen, Consumo saporito, Consumo saporito

You can do it with this too (don't know the word and don't feel like browsing dictionary)

2 minutes on both sides, I always do it this way.
 
One of my father's friends is an actor, and somebody gave him a toast machine as a thank you. He didn't need it and then he gave it to me! It's a great machine, it's so nice to make hot sandwiches with it. :happy:
 
Cooking?? What is this coooking you speak of? :lol: Is that what the boxy thing next to my microwave is for?

BUt no seriously, I live alone and really cannot be bothered to cook. I do now how, but I just can't be buggered. I eat out and order home delivery A LOT! the delivery guys in my little neck of the wood are on first name basis with me :D

If it does not say "micrawavable" (sp?) or "just add water" on it, I'll have nothing to do with it.

you mean the frying pan?... I have a toaster at home but I don't have the one which squeezes the 2-pieces of bread together and sticks it together... I don't know what its called so I can't find a pic :lol:
 
my wife: spectacular vegetarian cooking, it can't be beat
IMO :thumbsup: Tasty and very healthy too

Without her I'd be in a real pinch since I can barely cook a pop tart!
 
I don't eat in the morning. Breakfast just isn't for me. Usually I take my meal at 12.00 o'clock. It's coffee and cigarettes before.

About cooking. Well it depends. If I stay the whole day at the university I'm just going to eat at the canteen. If I'm in the mood and have some time at my hands, I'm going to fix me something. Nothing too complex since it's just to silly to prepare a complex meal for one person. Some basic stuff like different Vegetables and a bit of chicken or a Omelette.
 
I'm a student, and live in a appartment with 5 others. I make my own food, from scratch usually, sometimes when I don't have the time it's frozen pizza I guess ..

I preffer asian foods, noodles, fish, prawns, but also pasta, pesto, chicken, beef etc. I love food! :thumbsup: Also bread and sandwiches ... soup is also great. Like, chicken soup with coconut paste, lemon and lime, chili and stuff .. in the summer brbq is king ... pork chops and baked potates with a salad ... mmmm yummy ...

damn, I think I gotta go eat now ... :D
