Thanks for responding. That sounds slightly upgraded from your grad days. haha. So do you make any soups? Those tend to be great cheap meals that get even tastier as leftovers.

Thanks for finally posting something like this. I’ve been curious about your food eating habits for awhile. Especially since you mention eating lentils all the time. haha.

So if this was your grad days what are you eating now?

Cheers,
Jeremy

Nice post, pretty funny, and useful.
I would use cheap minced meat (no nice fish-oils but also no heavy metals); skip the ketchup; add worchester sauce (or vinegar) and red kidney- or other beans and loads of chilli powder and some coriander and pepper, just a normal wok, and skim excess fat from the surface. Oh yeah, and a cutting board Not extreme, and probably take 2 hours since I’m slow at cutting stuff up, but I’d make a batch that would last 1-2 weeks. (2-3kgs of meat, 5-6 big onions, 4-5 tins of tomato, 3-4 tins of beans, loads of lentils, loads of spice). Damn, I’m getting hungry think about all this

I suppose this article would helpful for those, for whatever reason, abhor cooking. I guess I just can’t understand that resentment. It also applies to those rushed for time. Hopefully such busyness is a temporary, not long-term, thing.

Anyways, that’s just my 2 cents. I may, however, be missing something. Please inform me.

Note that I’m far from perfect by my own standards. Half the time I don’t even cook proper meals.

If you like, you can also pick up some Indian Spices, e.g. Garam Masala being probably the most popular, which can add a tremendous amount of flavor to your lentils or even other dishes. I like putting some in my egg scramble.

@Chris L – Best answer: Until they’re done. It usually says how long on the package, but it would be better just to taste them and cook until they have have your preferred level of mushiness. Green would work too. I prefer red for this one.
