    I can cook a few dishes. Not really that much of a chef.

    I can start the fire alright (to the extend that I won't DIE stranded on an island)... just that never manage to get the meat done right @_@bbb

    Plus, not a big fan of those gas grill... hate the smell >.<

    I guess I am an okay cook... but I am probably better off eating outside or have take away because the price is probably the same or maybe even more expensive...ive already spent 80bucks on groceries this week (for dinner)...=/ If i'd eat out it would probably be a bit cheaper and no dishes or sweating in the kitchen...& also when I only cook for myself I fix some easy and quick meals....

    I am guessing that you are only cooking for yourself?

    *checks*

    Yup, that's it. If you happens to cook for 2, it will still be around the same price ($80AU you said?)... No idea why that happens, but personal experience. :D

    Too much noodles make you sick MAV -nono

    nyckeion ....Boo....

    well actually eating outside is a much better option since when you eat outside there are less chores and definitely much less in price..... i mean for someone to cook lets say oyster sauce with beef you gotta buy the veggies marinate the beef make the sauce cook the rice blah balh balh and then you have ONE dish......but then for outside prolly wait 10 mins and you get the same thing

    Laziness, that's not a good enough excuse to not cook...
     
  10. nyckeion

    nyckeion ....Boo....

    i wont deny laziness but then when you work till like 7-8 and you got like 2 hours left before you sleep you really dont wanna waste 1 and half hours cooking

    A hour and a half??? I usually cook a full meal in under 30 min @_@bbb

    That very same meal includes my lunch next day :p
     
  12. nyckeion

    nyckeion ....Boo....

    wow hmmmm well the rice itself for it to be cooked takes you at least 25 minutes then the preparing of the food depending of what you eat i guess if its not needed to be marinated then its easy just some ham some veggie then thats it

    Rice in ricecooker = 15 min
    Food prep = 15 min
    Actual cooking = 10 min...

    Still less than 30 min :p I prepare the food (for cooking) while the rice is cooking in the ricecooker...
     
  14. nyckeion

    nyckeion ....Boo....

    you time yourself?
     
  15. hiake

    hiake Vardøgr of da E.Twin

    Kind of... Since many times I usually start "cooking" like half an hour before a show I follow :p So if I overrun, I end up either screwing up my food (burnt it or whatnot) or miss the first 5-10 minutes of the show...

    NOOOOOOOO >.<
