How about we share some of our favourite quick-to-make meals? (Nothing about frying certain fish please.) Rules are:

1) It mustn't take long to make, otherwise you lose valuable distro-installing/sysadmining/coding time. If you spend longer preparing it than eating it, I don't think it qualifies as geek food.

2) It must be pretty easy to get hold of (ie you don't have to go to some strange little shop in Hullavington to get a certain ingredient).

I'll start:

Spicy ramen noodles with bacon and spring onions

You need:

# Block of Nissin Demae Spicy noodles (see here) or similar dried noodles with spicy flavouring sachet
# Bacon. Lovely bacon
# Spring onions

1) Fry/grill/microwave a couple of rashers of bacon, then cut them up into small pieces
2) Chop four or five spring onions up into little bits
3) Get 500ml of water boiling in a pan, chuck in noodles and boil for three mins
4) Add sachet(s) from noodles to pan, stir, and put noodles in bowl
5) Sprinkle on bacon and spring onion bits

Result = yummy, thusly:

What you need:

* A phone
* Money
* An appetite

While you're waiting, go code.
And best of all, you can eat it while you code!

Time wasted not coding: 1 minute (going to the door)
Happiness created: 1 Pizzasworth (LOTS!)

Woooo!

It's the food of choice I'm most likely to turn to if getting home extra late.

Sorry don't do quick food, if it's not taken all day to prepare, then I'm not eating it!

Tonights meal is beef caserole.

Stewing steak, cut into smaller pieces browned off with onions.
1 leek thickly chopped
1 large (on steriods) carrot, thickly chopped
1 turnip, thickly chopped
1 sweede (the vegatable, not the scandinavian) thickly chopped
lots of herbs and spices from the garden (sage, thyme and rosemary)
lots of freshly ground pepper
beef and vegatable stock
drop into a slow cooker, leave on all day (for those who want extra tender meat, leave it on all night too, and have dinner at breakfast time).

Have the misses prepare some fresh dumplins 20 minutes before it's ready, drop in.

Thicken the juice using cornflower.

Serve and enjoy.



For a really fast meal, blue cheese on crackers with red onion relish

Excellent Hummus

tin of chick peas(drained)
garlic clove or 2 (peeled)
sesame seeds or tahini
olive oil, 1 or 2 glugs to taste.
doritos ( plain or cheese flavour)

put all ingredients but doritos in a jug
using hand blender, whizz until nice consistency, but not too smooth.
put in bowl, dip doritos in it

excellent tapenade
jar pitted olives
teaspoon of capers
2 tablespoons sundried tomatoes
clove or 2 of garlic, peeled
olive oil, glug or 2
sweet red pepper, deseeded, ( and char grilled if you like)

Follow above method, but try to leave the olives a little chunky.

they go very well together.
