I have been a bit slack with the cook-update. Being run ragged with uni duties (students! lab!), my mid-term review, conferences, soil blog and general lethargy means my creativity has come to a bit of a standstill. Even though I made some yummy Daal Makhani with spinach and pumpkin, and a Rustic Roast Pumpkin tart with basil-pesto greens, they somehow didn't seem inspirational enough to blog about. Especially after eating Angus' delicious pork ramen *drool*
So, given my lack of inspiration and readers keen for me to keep blogging, I thought you all might like to help me get my cooking-groove back on! I am asking you to give me some ideas, as my cooking co-pilots, and I will randomly choose a combination of ideas and create. A dinner party (in our tiny flat) may also have to coincide with the event (if I am not dead from writing my epic thesis... blurgh).
Help me come up with a new idea by submitting in the comments section below one idea for each of the following:
1. Meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, break, snack etc)
2. Preferences (vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian, % sustainable, under $X)
3. One ingredient you want me to use (please, no offal)
4. One condiment you want me to use
5. Cooking style (wok, oven, microwave etc)
You have until Friday 2nd July to submit comments. I will draw them (out of a hat, random generator, blind twirl and point?!?) on Saturday to make something amazing!
Happy eating!
FLAT BREAD AND BAKED PANCAKE!!!!
ReplyDeleteMake dinner, with a main dish and 1-2 accompanying small side dishes (like meat/2 veg, soup w/side dish, pasta w/salad) for under $10 for 4 moderate portions. Coles is running a promo that claims to do this, but is complete bullshit (longer explanation on request).
ReplyDeleteI think it can be done, but it's tricky. Only ingredients from pantry allowed are salt, pepper, dried herbs and cooking oil.
Maybe we could each have a stab at this and feed each other + accompanying dudes?
Hmm... I am liking both of these ideas. :D
ReplyDeleteFuz also mentioned I should make Him burgers with guac.
Perhaps some combining is in order. Keep sending the ideas in guys!
BTW Cheney - I agree with you. Frozen Pie and Chips? Pasta with bottle sauce and garlic bread? Potato/pumpkin curry with pappadums? Buying anything fresh easily pushes you over that $10 limit.
