Im attempting to become more self sufficient as I hit my deadline to get the hell outta this house. To do that I need to learn how to cook something other than chicken, pasta, grilled cheese, salad & frozen dinners.

Any cooks out there? Gimme some ideas n' recipes.

    You can never go wrong with Baked Potatoes...

    Wash em off, pierce them with a knife through the center, put them in the top rack of an oven, set it for 400° F, cook for one hour or until center is cooked.

    ;)

    Pop Tarts and Goldfish. That's how I intend to survive college.

    Speaking of which... are those available in NZ, Biggles? :D

    No idea (we may have an equivalent of pop tarts, I remember seeing TV ads a long time ago), but we have plenty of snack food to go around. Not to mention that, having such a high asian population, we get all the asian snack foods. Noone makes great snack foods like them. :D

    The Cabl3 Guy: I just started by cooking something simple that I had the ingrediants for available.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    But what of goldfish, the greatest snack food known to mankind?
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Well, that all depends on what they are. :)

    They're the happy snack that smiles back until you bite their heads off!

    it isn't really hard to cook, even though I still live at my parents I do cook sometimes, just because it's fun.
