    I love cooking, but my day job is stopping me from pursuing my dream of being the next Jamie Oliver. Well, the day job and the fact that I'm not rackishly good looking and don't say 'pucker' every second word. That said, sometimes I have to resort to survival cooking. You know what I mean. It's saturday morning and you're starving but it's too cold/hot/sunny to head outside to forage for food so you make do with what you have inside. I've just cooked something that smelled like wet grass clippings. The ingredients seemed inoccuous enough (besides the furry cheese). Anyone else cooked (and for bonus points, eaten) something a little rank lately? cheers, Chris Maunder

    Can't say that I've ever done that, a) because it's never too cold in LA to go out, and b) I don't have the gas turned on in my apartment 'cause I can't cook anyway. ;) Chris Maunder wrote: that smelled like wet grass clippings.

      My friend and apartment mate is an excellent cook. I just have to help him with some side jobs like peeling onions :-) He makes very good Kerala dishes Nish

        Can't you phone in somewhere and they will do a home deilvery? Why do you need to go out? You can order food on the net too, I suppose? And oh yeah, I can cook food too, almost edible, but Indian only. :)

                              Hehehe, did anyone see the recent episode of the comedy (Happiness?) where Johnny Vegas uses Nigella Videos, with a box of tissues to erm, satisfy himself alone?

                                I love cooking, but my day job is stopping me from pursuing my dream of being the next Jamie Oliver. Well, the day job and the fact that I'm not rackishly good looking and don't say 'pucker' every second word. That said, sometimes I have to resort to survival cooking. You know what I mean. It's saturday morning and you're starving but it's too cold/hot/sunny to head outside to forage for food so you make do with what you have inside. I've just cooked something that smelled like wet grass clippings. The ingredients seemed inoccuous enough (besides the furry cheese). Anyone else cooked (and for bonus points, eaten) something a little rank lately? cheers, Chris Maunder
