Haha. How you gonna cope when you go uni in September?
It really is simple though!!! (I've just learnt)
I only put a pinch of salt in. A tiny tiny bit.
I didn't use butter.
But yeah, for yorkshires I'll add salt and maybe pepper, but for pancakes I'll leave it out because it's a desert thing...
I have NO idea >.<.
Disclaimer: my early comment relating to instant mix was directly aimed at my housemate who i'm trying to teach to cook. I don't have a problem with instant mix and those who use it
More than I could in the first year
My flatmates had never heard of SMASH until they met me
I'm a really good cook now though if I do say so myself. Haha.
They use that at college, and it is VILE.
I lived off supernoodles, smash and oven cooked food (such as chips, chicken, etc)for quite a while in the first year until I learned how to cook. That was a experience.
We had so many people using one cooker though. It was just easier to eat that shit.
Theres a girl in my lecture who asked me the other day how to make a baked potato :eek: This shocked me.
This is the general impression I got from my mother getting me to make one...
Orrr, you can just stick it in the microwave for 10 minutes after pricking it OR if you want it crispy on the outside, shove it in a hot oven for about 2 hours.
Its hardly rocket science. I was actually really shocked when she asked me. She's clearly still got Mummy cooking for her.
And crispy baked potatos are soooooooooooo the best. I could never just microwave it. Ever. I have done half and half though :yes:.
I want to bake a cake at her house when I next go home though
And I do baked potatoes half and half. Much quicker :yes:
I bought an instant mix today. It cost me 63p. If I was to buy flour, eggs, and milk, it sure as hell would have cost me more than that, and as a student, I need to save my pennies. I don't think that gives you cause to determine my mental state.
For a novelty, like pancakes, when you only tend to eat them on pancake day and not every day of the year anyway, instant mixes are ideal. I don't want a bag of flour in my cupboard that I won't use or eggs that will go off.
1) Why, as we do have the necessary resources to make pancakes.
2) Why we then did not get any pancakes :grump:.
That's fuckin impossible mate! lol
bloody hell. calm down dear.
and i can see why people would use instant mix - in my cupboard i don't have flour or eggs and it'd be pointless me buying a bag of flour and a box of eggs just for pancakes. i didn't make any but i did steal 3 off my housemates.
what's 'bad food'?
KFC
:yes:
I'm supposed to be having one with a mate next week though.
Errr Lucifer, bad food is stuff like crisps, sweets, chocolate, cake, takeaways, chips, etc.
Not like I eat much of that stuff normally anyways but obviously it would be much healthier if I didn't eat it at all.
