Okay. I'll try to put up some general principle first, then I'll put up some recipe guidelines. 1. Root vegetables are your friend. They're delicious, and cheap. Like dirt cheap. Especially if you find them in season. Instead of just eating potatoes and pasta and stuff, you can make root vegetable mash. It's good with most kinds of food. Boil potatoes and your favourite selection of root vegetables, like carrot or root selleri or rutabaga (If you don't know which ones you like just buy some new ones every once in a while and google how to cook them and try them out). Mash them with a potato masher (one of the best tools you'll ever have in your kitchen). Along with some butter, salt, black or white pepper (most people seem to prefer white but I prefer black) and a little milk. 2. whenever you're done frying some kind of meat in maragrine or butter, pour some milk into the frying pan (about 2 decilitres or cups or whatever you call it). Add a couple of drops of soy. throw in about a tablespoon flour. Salt, pepper and allspice to taste. Maybe a little butter or margarine. Mix it well in the pan. Mash the balls of flour until they are dissolved in the mix. Turn the heat up to medium high. Fry until it bubbles and gets thick. You'll get a delicious sauce that gets its flavour from whatever you fried in the pan before it. |
Thank you very much! I'll definitely try it out! Hopefully I'm able to do it.

No problem! A delayed story will eventually be good, but a rushed story will be bad forever.
Also, homemade tomato soup is simple to make, healthy to eat, and you can make a lot in one go and just heat some when you need it. I'll give you a great recipe if you want (but it'll have to wait a few hours, I'm a bit busy right now.) |
Hopefully it does end up being good!
And I'd like that tomato soup recipe too, when you can :)
| GoOnKid said: Meals based on basic ingredients are not very hard to cook. With basic I mean noodles, rice, or potatoes. Just throw one of that in boiling salt water and make a sauce to go with it. Tomato sauce is very easy, just chop some tomatoes and fry em with an onion and some garlic. Go crazy and fry some other veggies to put them into that sauce, like bell pepper for example, courgettes, or eggplants. Cheeze sauce is also pretty tasty, just cut a weak cheese in small pieces and let those melt in boiling cream. Season it with some herbs. Or make salad. Chop some veggies, put it all in a bowl and make a vinaigrette (oil and vinegar with some salt and pepper, maybe some herbs and mustard, then whisk that entire shit with a fork till it's creamy). Actually, I love simple meals very much. Like rice and beans. Could eat that every day because it's so flexible. You can add almost anything to go alongside that. Or cooked spinach with potatoes and fried egg. Delicious af. When it comes to veggies, you need to understand to differentiate roots/tubers from solanacaea from salads from beans from cabbage, because they all need to be treated differently and have different purposes. But that comes with experience, you just keep cooking and experimenting. |
Some very nice ideas, I also love rice and beans a lot, can see myself doing it a lot once I've learned how to. I'll try to be experimental with vegetables as you said as well. Thank you!
