just made excellent apple pie. other than that there's really not much. must go shopping tomorrow. it's after nine in the evening now, and either the supermarkets are closed, or will be soon, and there's not enough time to get there, browse, and buy.

other than that there's frozen rye bread in the freeze, and some frozen vegetables, and soup powder.

A pot of vegetable coconut curry, plus ingredients for this weeks dinners, I do one 'big' shop every Tuesday, and another essentials shop on Friday.

My fridge/freezer is full most of the time. I have really delicious ice cream bars, a pineapple, many grapefruits, passion fruits, ingredients (mostly veggies) for my spicy squid salad and quinoa salad, which I intend to make this weekend (tomorrow afternoon as I'm taking this Friday off!), some scotch fillet steak meat and so on.

Oh honey, yes. As long as you don't specifically mean healthy foods that is. I live in the Deep South and I'm one of those old school style housewives that cook a big meal every day, everything from scratch. When I don't do it, my oldest daughter who is about to be graduating from culinary school this year does it. Plus I'm half Italian. We have tons here to eat but most of it is either battered and fried, boiled all day with pork added to the water or smothered in cheese and sauce. Even when it looks like there's nothing I can come up with two or three things. Making something from nothing is a Southern specialty. Hell, I can make a delicious dessert from an Irish potato, confectionary sugar and peanut butter. I can make you a nice, filling, slap your mama good, breakfast from flour, Crisco, milk and a little bacon grease. You'll eat good at my house for sure. You might die young from a heart attack if you're not used to the amount of cholesterol, but you'll die full and with a smile on your face! ;-)

YES! Better to die from a heart attack than to die from hunger, lol.

I'm a terrible cook myself. Good for you for being a good cook. You sound like you could make a good dinner from an old shoe, as long as it doesn't tast too leathery.

I am pretty good at it if I do say so myself. :-) I do plan on making some "how to" cooking videos for YouTube with more details and explicit step by step instructions for really simple things and also more complicated things. Lots of videos and written recipes just assume that the person knows how to do certain things, but I'll make them with the assumption that the person hasn't ever done anything pertaining to food, other than eating it and hasn't ever paid any attention to anything in the kitchen. I think it would be great for aspies who have trouble following a recipe and also for girls like my daughters friends who have recently moved out and are trying to live on their own but their mother's have never taught them any homemaking skills so they post on FB with questions about the simplest things.

You should try the potato candy recipe if you like sweets. Let me know and I'll post it if you want.

Since I accidentally dropped nine pounds (not a good thing if you're my weight), my parents refuse to buy salt and vinegar chips,which are basically the meaning of my existence, until I get my diet in order*. So no. Over the weekend I ate ice cream 2-3 times a day to make up for the absence of chips, but it's just not the same.


*Yeah, not gonna happen.

My girlfriend cooked hotdogs today & I have two left for another meal. There's also leftover pizza & breadsticks in the fridge as well as some leftover southern rice which I'll eat tonight & I'll eat some of the pizza tomorrow. We also have turkey sandwich meat. Other things we have would need to be cooked.
