Well b0g, I take pride in what I cook and generally get great reviews for
whatever I cook so I though I would share some easy recipes with you lot -
I doubt many of you are into this sort of thing, but that doesnt mean you
can't eat tasty food. These are about as easy as it gets (beyond baked
beans on toast).
Fast Tuna Pasta
Large handfull of spagetti or penne
1 clove of garlic, crushed
Approx 2 tbsp of fresh chopped parsley
Juice of half a lemon
About 30 ml of olive oil

95g can of tuna in brine or oil (drained)
Parmesan cheese
Cook spaghetti. While spaghetti is cooking combine crushed garlic,parsley,
lemon juice, oil, and pepper in a pasta bowl and mix thoroughly.
Add drained tuna and mix well. When pasta is cooked, mix the tuna sauce
through it and add plenty of parmasen.

grated cheese.
Serves 2
This last one I made up myself when I realised i didnt have all the
ingredients for something else I was going to cook at pone point: very
tasty - cook it for a female you are trying to impress, it tastes
fantastic.
[skorpion]'s fragrant thai stir-fry
600-700 grams of chicken diced
2 cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped.
250 grams of green beans washed and choped in half
110 grams of fresh baby corn cut lengthways and in half
Good amount of soy sauce - you guess
Good amount of chilli sauce: its hot - you adjust to your tastes
Lots of grated ginger
Lots of lemongrass (finely chopped or in australia you can get it already
chopped up in a tube)
Sesame oil - i didnt have much left in the bottle - a teaspoon or so so I
dont know if it had much of an effect on the taste
Peanut oil
Heat the peanut oil and soften the crushed garlic for 1-2 minutes
Add chicken to the pan and cook untill starting to brown
Add all the seasonings and stir fry, moving constantly.
Blanch the beans (put in boiling water for 1-2 mins then drain and rinse
with cold water to stop the cooking process)
When the seasonings have thickened a bit add the beans and baby corn
Cook for another 2-3 mins
All these recipes dont take much work to prepare - the tuna pasta takes
only as long as it takes your pasta to cook (just dont go to any business
meetings after it - garlic breath).
