Help me use what I've got left

some sort of satay thing with the rice and peanut butter (maybe using barley to bulk the peanut butter out) could add the pickled peppers probably

a soup with the peas and barley and onion and gravy as a sort of stock prob even add tin of toms and a tin of beans for added texture interest

dhaal made from lentils served with rice and onions nuked in microwave

chilli with beanfeast, tinned toms, tinned beans, chilli sauce, rice (add / serve with potato for more interest)

invite someone over for dinner one night and make sure they return the favour next term

Fab ideas

I have to go: All of tomorrow, All of Wed, All of thurs.

With any luck, I'll be working at an open day on Thurs - free lunch - and i might get a takeaway with my friend to celebrate the end of term on friday

The bolognaise should do at least 4 servings, i think. It claims to be a supersize family pack or something.

Today I had a sort of barlotto with the barley, 2 onions, herbs, stock cube & cheese. Wasn't bad. I've made pasta with tom sauce for tomorrow.

Ooh, and we figured how to make pretty damn good crisps in the microwave, which was exciting.

um sorry I don't really understand the question. You can make the packet up jut with water if that's what you mean, you don;t need extra stuff.

I have a packet and a half of spaghetti, 1 serving of pasta, about 3 servings of rice.. about 3 servings red lentils? Lots of the other pulses.

I got on fine. Didn't buy any other groceries in the last 2 weeks except a carton of soya milk.

Yeah, I'm home and trying to revise I have so much work to do so I'm mainly staying in, but then i get distracted by the computer etc..

Actually, I wish our terms were a bit longer and slightly less pressurised. They cram SO much in, it would be nice to have a tiny bit more breathing space. Who else has lectures on a saturday
