If you like pickles, save the jar of liquid when you finish the last pickle. When you have part of a cucumber left over, cut it into slices or spears and toss them into the jar. In a week or so, you'll have more pickles.

I am lucky enough to be able to come home for lunch, but I am limited to about 20 minutes to cook and eat. I am not too keen on sandwiches, so end up with reheated leftovers. So I am looking for some good ideas on something I can make ahead and keep in the fridge for a few days and quickly reheat. Oh, another good book to check out - Edouard De Pomiane's French Cooking in Ten Minutes. Some good inspiration. Plus this way there's more variety too. |
Trader Joe's frozen Thai meals are my go to

When I was a single man many moons ago entire weeks could go by without me finding the need to use a knife and fork.
Breakfast was always coffee and a cigarette,a sandwich for lunch and at dinner cheese on toast. Or a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. Or just a ham sandwich. Not very healthy I know but I had more important things on my mind then than food. |
My go-to meal for one is vegetable pilaf. All you need is rice, some cheap curry paste, a can of coconut milk and whatever vegetables you can find. Cheap, filling, freezable, lasts for ages.
Of course, I always end up making too much and promptly getting sick of the stuff. |
