Pasta. Easy to learn recipes. Better than fast food, meh those will kill you.
Fucking insta-noodles when you're on the verge of dying.

The internet is your best friend for recipes, honestly. If you follow them exactly you should have no problems. I've been cooking for almost 10 years now, since I have a different taste from my family food wise, and if a seven year old could cook and not burn the house down/die in the process I think you'll be fine. : D

Don't know how to cook? then you have to eat ramen.

Which is exactly why you need to learn to cook.

Treats, snacks, biscuits, bread with butter, chocolates. Pretty much anything that doesn't require fire. So much for man's greatest discovery.

Instant noodles, of course. Also, cookies and sandwiches with either of the three: peanut butter, butter & sugar, or coco jam.

I know.. But they usually end up being a scrambled egg rather than a fried one. Lol.

You mean the ones that need to be boiled? And you put the sauce in it? Wait... just sounds like the cup noodles, too. Lol.

Yeah... I think. You put it in a pot full of water, add the little packet of flavorings that comes with the noodles (not always sauce; I prefer the chicken-flavored which comes with... well, chicken flavorings), and cook it.

It's harder than cup, though. For one thing, it's a fire hazard. For another, you have to keep watch on the cooking pot rather than just put a cloth over the cup-lid for three minutes.

Ah, yes. That was what I was talking about XD It is a bit harder to cook than the cup noodles. I usually leave those for about 5 mins until it gets soft.

Oh, and I also hate washing the dishes so I prefer eating instant noodles and other packed goods. Yeah, I know. I'm lazy.

...Well.. You could always put the instant noodles into already boiling water, turn off the fire, put the lid on, and cook them exactly how you would cook cup noodles.. :D

Yeah, I'm lazy too. In fact, I used to leave all the washings to my mum. As I grow older... well, the turns are naturally switched.

But, I really miss those (my mum just buys cup-noodles nowadays due to the hassle of the instant ones), as the instant ones are more fulfilling. Might be just me but, the cup ones just don't have as much substance.

That's... actually not a bad idea but, I'd think that the water would cool down in the period of three minutes, no matter how long it's boiled, whereas a pot with constant boiling water would seem to serve as more effective in cooking... I think.

Don't look at me, I'm no cook. But this is assuming that the substance of the instant noodles differs from the cup ones, being more 'harder' to boil down.

I agree with you. The instant ones are tastier than the cup noodles.

Damn, this food talk is making me hungry.

I'm in a bit of an odd situation atm, i live on my own about half of the time. Before it was like this i couldn't cook a thing, i'd go for days just eating crappy things like microwave meals, basic salad and of course pizza. A bit of practice and i'm now proficient enough to make a fair few meals.

My best would have to be chilli, certain curry dishes and leek and potato soup. Being vegetarian i don't have a lot to think about when cooking.

That's what my mum told me, what with all those MSG flavorings. But there was this thread back then discussing how MSG does no harm to you at all, contrary to what all the folk tales and elderly made it out to be.

Oh no no.. The MSG is fine.. Its the high sodium content in said flavorings that will kill in large quantities..

Sodium? As in the same sodium of 'sodium chloride?' As in salt?
