A Cooking Thread?
LTK:
I felt like I wasn't eating enough vegetables so I made ratatouille, which amounted to chopping up a bunch of veggies and throwing them in a dish with olive oil and into the oven, but I'm pretty sure I can make it better than that. Anyone got any tips?

Michael and I had a fantastic time at our cooking class! The recipe we learned is a base golden curry recipe that can be turned into tikka masala (center) and saag (left - fresh on top, stewed on bottom). It was delicious and fun and I want to take more cooking classes now because it was a really great time.
Also now I want to make all of the curries all of the time. Definitely going to have to have a food party soon.

I am cooking all the things again! Today it's vegetable lasagne (a mini one, I only had enough pasta for one layer of each), a sort of shepherd's pie with the same soya mince from the lasagne, and then I've got just enough mince to make pasties tomorrow when the pastry has thawed. I'll also make chocolate, chilli and black bean soup tomorrow - the black beans are soaking overnight. I'd like to make courgette and black bean burgers as well, but I haven't yet got a pestle and mortar to grind the flaxseed which would be the binding agent. My stepmum's mum is giving me one which she got as a free gift with something or other, but I won't be able to pick that up until Redball and I visit next month, so I'll probably use the remaining soaked black beans to make the delicious dip that Jeans made when I visited at Christmas :)
For anyone who is interested, photos are now on my food blog.

So I am dusting off this thread to ask for some cooking/' meal planning advice.
I recently moved off-campus to an apartment,which means I no longer have the convenience of a meal plan. So now I have to plan and make my own food. I am all good with the making, it's the planning part I am having trouble with.
I need help planning for fairly cheap and healthy meals that aren't too intricate. I want to stay away from microwaved stuff and things like ramen, because from my previous experience with that stuff, I would rather not eat that than eat ssomething like that. Not so much a snobbish taste problem, more of a gastrointestinal hell thing with that.

Curry. So, so, so much curry. Anything can go in a curry. It can be as cheap or expensive as you like. You make them super interesting by buying big bags of spice that'll cost you like £1/$2 and the ones I have have so far lasted me well over a year.
