Mussel soup
Get mussels in shell (live ones) and clean and de beard.
Biff a can of diced tomato in pot and bring to boil. Add mussels.
Once mussels have opened add some cream, fresh basil and salt and pepper.
Serve and eat with some crusty bread...... yum!!

Eat Indian often then Troppo?
I guess 1/2 billion men can't be wrong.
Got home made Pizza without even asking...and then a fresh fruit platter for dessert...sliced apple, orange, grapes.
Home made Pizza;
Buy packets of pita bread at supermarket, tubes of tomato paste (stores forever). Smear tomato paste over pita bread and add whatever you have in fridge...sliced and diced onion, capsicum, ham, salami, cheese...ANYTHING...well maybe not ice cream.
Stick in oven on roolly hot for 20 minutes or so...check base to see if it's cooked...and obviously cheese melted etc...I like just a little bit blackened around the edges of the base.
Great meal for prolly $2...beats the crap outa Pizza HUT or Dominos..."I got the Pox from the Box with the Spots...dominos"

cant go past a BBQ with the fellas with snags, chicken, all that typical stuff, with plenty of beer... have it at your place and get everyone to bring something, should result in you having leftovers for a few days!

What is "Cooking?"
As my interpreter used to say (when I had one).
Vegie stir fry:
You can buy a ready-made stir-fry mix at Coles or Safeways, or make one yourself:
Chop up some mixed vegies (e.g. Carrot, red or green capsicum, some cabbage, mushrooms) add some baby corn, snow peas, etc. You'll also need some olive oil, and something like Oyster sauce or Soy sauce.
Get a Wok, or a large frying pan if you haven't got a Wok (or don't know what a Wok is) put some oil in it and heat it on a stove. When hot, put in all the vegies, add some sauce, and cook for only around 5 minutes or less, turning over and stirring regularly.
Takes all of 15 minutes to do, for a good vegie meal, or as a side dish for your steak/chops/snags, etc.
DIVOSH!

how about a stuffed wallaby colon with crushed, caramelized and seared bull ants, served with pureed seahorse?
ONLY joking... (Sound exotic though?)
I always like to knock up a sandwich which includes the following:
-Smoked salmon (which you can usually buy in 200gram packets)
- Lettuce
- Semi Sun dried Tomatoes (that you can buy in a jar)
- Avocado
- Capers (also in a jar)
- Dijon Mustard
Makes for a very tasty and nutritious meal which doesn't take long to make. I like to make it on a baguette personally...
WWA (hopefully... rightwayaround

For cheap and tasty you can't go past this family favourite.
Toast bread
Spread vegemite on toast
Then add some bacon (a slice of shoulder ham works just as well, cheaper too)
Add a slice of pinapple
Slice of onion
Smoked mussells (if you like 'em)
Tasty Cheese
Then grill until cheese is golden brown.
I know it looks scary but it tastes fantastic. This also works a treat after a hard night drinking.

Sounds like some sort of North Shore hamburger to me, not Bankstown!

Used to live on this when I first started flying and got paid b#gger all...
Rice or pasta, cheaper the better...
One can of pasta sauce, if cooking for just yourself.. you can get away with half a can and use it for the next night.
Chicken.. I'm a breast man myself.. though the odd leg and thigh don't go down too badly either.. Use boneless meat.. makes it a damn sight easier..
Onion if you have it, slice it then cut it again to dice..
Yogurt... not the sweet stuff... you want un-sweetened thick stuff if you can get it.. it just has to be un-sweetened..
Brown ya onion on a med heat. Use a bit of oil on it, thats what stops it burning... When you smell the onion, stick the diced chicken meat in as well and brown. Give it a stir now and then to stop it burning.. oil is also the secret, maybe a tablespoon or dessert spoon worth..
Once your chicken looks brown and cooked, add the pasta sauce... Stir till combined and turn the heat down till it bubbles like Rotorua mud...
Add your yogurt... half a small tub works or even a few spoonfuls, stir and simmer.. should be ready in about 5 minutes...
Now pour it over boiled rice (boil in the bag rice ain't too bad) or over cooked pasta. For a treat if your feeling rich, pour over cooked pasta and sprinkle with cheese. Stick it under the griller for about 3-4 min max.. and you shouldnt burn it.
Usually I could make the ingredients for this last 2-3 nights from one shop. And it beats eating weet-bix for weeks on end for dinner!
Also depending on what area you live in, consider going fishing. Cheap food but bloody good and they charge like a wounded bull in a resturant for fresh fish!
PM me if ya need any other ideas... got some other ideas for using mince as well that I used to live on when paid f all...

Wife feeds husband dog poo curry
9:40AM Thursday May 03, 2007
Strange but true
Brother, can you spare a bride?
Angry Milan fan puts goalkeeper up for auction on eBay
A wife has admitted feeding her estranged husband a curry containing dog excrement after their relationship broke down, the BBC has reported.
Jill Martin, 47, pleaded guilty to culpable and reckless conduct against husband Donald Martin.
A Scottish court heard that Mrs Martin, after placing the dinner in front of her husband Donald and watching him start to eat it, she had burst out laughing.
Martin's defence solicitor Terry Gallanagh likened the case to "an episode of Desperate Housewives".
At that time, she believed he had started an affair although those fears turned out to be unfounded.
Following her arrest for the incident, Martin was banned from going anywhere near her husband, the BBC reported.
The couple have now begun divorce proceedings.

And I remember RH wandering around the local supermarket one day looking for a low calorie cream bun!
As for what I consider might be classed as a Pilot's meal; Back langtaim bilong mi, breakfast was freshly brewed PNG Highlands coffee (or a couple of bottles of cold coke, depending on how you felt) and about three cigarettes, consumed at O Dark 100, shortly before the 'Dawn Patrol' out to the 'Jungles run' when there was 'us and them' competing over the same routes out of Port Moresby. (John Levers from TNA; remember those days?)
