I am beginning to find it a bit tiring to cook now. At first it was fun but now it is really hard trying not to cook the same food all the time and making sure you get the right balance of foods. Unfortunately my cooking skills are quite limited so it's hurting my head trying to read through the student cook book I was given by Cathy (thank you Cathy...I've really needed it!). You come to realise how thankful you are for your parents who, for your whole life, have remembered to have meals available every night! I was actually quite a fussy eater before I came to Uni but you kind of get over it as you realise that food is food and it goes in the mouth and you live a bit longer that day. If free food is around then there is no need to be so polite and if people don't finish their meals then food going in the bin is not an option...I haven't personally gone to that extreme of eating off others yet but who knows. So if anyone has any recipes that are less than an hour to make and have quite basic ingredients please send them my way, it would be much appreciated as I do have time to be playing around with different meals at the moment. I was really contemplating on making a casserole but they don't absolutely ages! Anyone know a quicker way that's less than 2 hours??
Pudding recipes are also welcome, our first week me and two of my flat mates were up at 3am making cookies! It was a lovely bonding session and yes we were hungry as most students are in that time of the morning...by the way 2am is actually an early night in student terms. Sorry parents but thankfully at the moment I only have one lecture that is in the morning and amazingly it's RE so I don't mind getting up for it. I'm sure after the excitement of being freshers has calmed down and we start having major work loads, we will all settle into a more reasonable sleep hour...as for now, too much fun is needed :)
Well I must dash, there is washing in the machine and I need to get the clothes out the dryer before they shrink! God bless, Es :)
