Despite my generally messed up first week here I've been doing OK for food - nothing exciting, though I did make slightly classy hot dogs the other day (which is to say I used decent sausages that were on offer rather than those icky reconstituted things that are normally sold as hot dog sausages). I feel I should learn to do more rice dishes, as Selly Oak seems to be better for buying rice (there's a place here that literally sells it by the sack) than pasta, though pasta generally seems easier to do things with quickly.
