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! |

Oh well, here's a quick solution for a hot meal:
Take 1 microwave, put in some ready-made lasagna, dial in the appropiate time and power, wait for the ping and get it out. If the lasagna is cooked in it's original aluminum box and you choose some plastic cutlery you'll save time not spilled by doing the washing up
For some geek appitite: click! |

How about baking, boiling, poaching, steaming, microwaving, spit-roasting or burning at the stake?  _________________ Unix is user-friendly. It's just very selective about who it's friends are. |

No, he definitely deserves to be cooked... thoroughly. It's the only way you can mention 1sf (troll) and "well done" in the same sentence  _________________ Unix is user-friendly. It's just very selective about who it's friends are. |

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 |

I'm inclined to agree, perhaps only all day for casseroles and stews, but longer cooking generally equals better food. Not that it means it takes a long time to prepare, the good thing about slow cooking foods is that the cooking doesn't require much attention, thus leaving plenty of time for coding or making vague, waffley posts to on-line forums. _________________ Bye, Rhakios |

1 can opener (this is very important).
1 can baked beans.
1 can unsweetened condensed milk.
Use can opener to open cans.
Pour condensed milk over beans to taste.
Enjoy. _________________ Cheers,

Excellent Hummus

sesame seeds or tahini
olive oil, 1 or 2 glugs to taste.

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. _________________ The sig between the asterisks is so cool that only REALLY COOL people can even see it!
