I was stopped in the street today by this really geeky looking guy in a suit who asked me if I'd thought about the meaning of life. I noticed he was wearing a badge with a church's name on it so I just laughed, said I didn't have time and went to buy myself a sandwich in M&S.
Dinner tonight is either spaghetti and meatballs, or leftover dominos pizza, depending on how lazy I'm feeling.

I'm having Thai style pork chops that I put in to marinate last night and potatos with onion, anchovys and cream. It should be.... alright.

yes, Louise made it the other night, and we ate 1/4 each. Then last night she revealed to me when I got home that she'd had some more, so I figured that there's 1/4 left with my name on it.

That sounds like a pretty perfect Tuesday evening.
I had a very similar one planned for about three weeks ago but with leftover pasta bake, however when I got home my girlfriend had eaten the remaining quarter of pasta bake. That was awful. I had to get a small chinese takeaway to ease myself through the pain.

Last night I had some mashed potato that was in the freezer with half a tin of baked beans that were in the fridge. I'm not very good at this living alone business really am I. I might ship in a small house-husband to have my meals ready for me after work instead. How much housekeeping do you think I should give him for a week's food for the pair of us? Fifty pounds a week?

I appear to revert to the wild when left alone in the house. Despite living alone for seven years and not dying of malnutrition, when R was away this weekend, rather than whip-up Nigel Slater-style quick meals for one I ate nutella from the jar with a knife (or finger), subsisted on apples and cheese, and found it an enormous hardship to actually go to the shop myself to buy milk or cat food. For the cats. It hadn't got that bad.

It's a lot easier to cook for two or more though, isn't it? Because I was prepping my lunch this morning, I just placed some grapes and carrots into a margarine tub and topped off with ryvitas. That would be ok for a quick snack I reckon. Except I ate them in reverse fluid content, so by the time I had polished off the grapes and carrots, I was sat at my desk munching dry ryvitas. That wasn't the rubbish bit though. The rubbish bit was where my colleagues said 'do you eat carrots ...with the skin on' I mean, what the fuck? Did they want me to peel the grapes first too? I've got a a banana that needs eating at home. I might just bring that in tomorrow and eat it with the skin on to fuck with their topsy turvy heads.

My mate never stops banging on about his slow cooker. Throw the contents of your recycling bin in it, switch it on, go to work, come home to hearty stew of deliciousness. Your margarine tub sounds like Blue Peter version of this magic kit, NWOD.

Actually I quite fancy cutting up a load of veg and throwing it in a pot with some beef and then coming home and eating it.

i HAD A SLOW-COOKER. It never caught fire, but I forgot all about what I was cooking once and everything just sort of congealed and bonded to the ceramic inside of the cooker. I had to throw it out. It was quite good, yeah.

Kellifer's parents gave us a slow cooker as a moving in present. It hasn't caught fire, but I don't think it's ever been plugged in either. I wonder if it would be possible to slow cook something over a number of weeks/months/years. Would the constant cooking prevent the food from going off?

Oh.
Rabbit, onions, mushrooms, red wine. When I took the lid off there was a gently steaming carbonised corpse in a dense tarry mass. You couldn't eat it. I tried.

Shame. It sounds nice. Squirrel is all the rage at the moment, isn't it? I reckon a slow cooker would come into it's own with a squirrel.
