Well i spent my entire weekend moving all my junk to the new place (man you don't know how much stuff you have till you move it). How was it moving out for the first time for you guys? What did you guys do about food? I have to COOK NOW!?!?! @#$% damn.. Well i have been known to cook up a feast, but its so time consuming How was it for you guys??
It was easy for me cause I got kicked out at 18 and worked in restaurants for a while which took care of food to eat and how to prepare it. As far as eating at home. Two words "ramen noodles" That top notch food of olympians got me through college... I highly recommend the shrimp flavor...
Moving out was pretty easy. I took a plane from a major airport to the friendly Drill Sergeant (Army) . Seriously though, it wasn't bad at all. Unless you are a complete idiot (no offense to anyone) its not that hard to do laundry or whatever. Cooking isn't bad either. Buy a cookbook :gasp:. As for time consuming, yes it can be. Try to make it fun, or prepare stuff that you can eat as leftovers.
When i moved into this flat, they gave me the keys, took the metal shutters off the windows and that was it, i had nothing, Holes where windows should be, a door with no lock, no gas, no electric, but i got it sorted out within a week
whoa..sounds pretty...tough I think my local chinese resturant will be my new best friend "Oh Mr scopEDog! Of course we have your table...would you like the usual??"
To make it easier for you to get propa nutrition, I submit the following gourmet recipe: linear fried rice serves 4 boil 3 cups of water. Add 2 cups uncooked rice, cover, reduce heat to low and leave for 15 minutes. Set aside your cooked rice. In the pot, put about 3 tablespoons of butter or margarine. Turn the heat back up to medium-high or so, and fry an egg (or two!) with some salt and pepper in the butter. Once the egg is cooked off (before it starts turning brown ), add the cooked rice back in and stir. Add a cup of frozen diced mixed vegetables (peas carrots and corn is common here). Add 4 or 5 tablespoons of soy sauce and fry until the vegetables are hot. You could also add chicken or shrimp or meat at the end too, particularly pre-cooked leftovers. It's a nice way to get yrid of leftovers. Plus it's pretty cheap, fast, and filling, and it contains all the essential amino acids so it's good fer ya.
so now we know what linear, Ms Linear and the two mini-linears eat all the time ...could explain a few things
Yea, first week was touch cause i dunno how to cook n stuff. Missed my family too Went home like every 2 weeks for first 2 months lol, now i cant be arsed to go home at all and ive learnt to cook a bit more..
That rice is a firm favorite in the macro household but with the addition of peppers, onions and mushrooms. Hmmmmmm where's my wok?
Haha, let that be a lesson to you kiddies. Proper nutrition is the key to modding. PH34R teh 4M1n0 4C1Ds!
i aint moved out but as mots of the time my house is empty it feels like it anyway i never have to cook, check this out for a list of takeaways under 10 mins away by foot indian @ the end of my street 50sec to walk there (will deliver to my house) chippie next door (no delivery) pizza burger place kibaba place etc (one place does all that) 4 mins walk from my house (will deliver to my door no extra cost) chippe next to that (no delivery & yuck food) chinese takeaway 5 mins walk (no delivery but worth the walk) chippie that does burgers & all sorts (8 mins away, this one is my fav, 1/2 lb burger & a bag of chips for £2.50) after that there are a couple of chickem places & a couple more pizza paces as well as another indian takeaway but i never go to them 2far away heck i even get a discout at the pizza place as i modded the pc of the bloke who owns it am i jsut lucky or what?
ramen, pasta, mac & cheese, easy mac, anything that can be easily prepared... hell salad and pasta is a full meal... cook some sausage and throw it in the sauce and you're covered... or my personal favorite, buy some full chicken wings, throw on some cajun spices, slice up some potatoes, throw them in the oven on 400F for like 30-45 minutes, open up a bag of baby carrots and you've got a full, easy to prepare meal i obvisouly do tooo much cooking (curses gf's inability or pretend inability to cook... though she can bake like there's no tomorrow)
I hate to admit it but I'm a child from the microwave culture... if you can cook it in a microwave then I probably eat it Chicken in black bean sauce from ASDA (98p) is loverly
i cant belive all you elite modders forgot this ultimate meal Microwave chips (yummy ) just the thing when your arm deep in a mod or cant be bothered to do anything else (you can tell i live out of the chippy & on micro chips cant you, made myself hungry now ah well 5am better get the pan on for the full english (bacon, eggs, sausage, fried bred all cooked how it should be in LARD yummy, shame it takes soo long)
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Beware too many "instant" foods. Mac & Cheese etc. They are fairly unhealthy if you eat them all the time. Also, eat something other than carbohydrates once in a while. If you stop being physically active, you WILL gain weight. Unless you're one of those freaks with a high metabolism.
Home into university halls of residence (catered)....no big deal there really. Been living in a house this year, and it's fine...Canned soup and bread for the days when I can't be bothered to cook....bacon is good because it keeps a while...freezers are good too...Here's a tip...when you get there, get your parents to take you shopping. Get lots of meat and stick it in the freezer. Stock up on canned soup, and put some bread in the freezer too. I did that, and then when they came to visit a few weeks later, repeated same trick....and that's all I've needed for the entire term, except for some bread and veg. Oh, and a sandwich toaster....Cheese toasties are a life-saver.
