Chicken&dumplings  

[J-ROC]

spaghetti and meat sauce.

I made that the other night.  It was great.

O'Doyle RULES!

[Questing Character]

Go James for listing food I can eat!  For dinner tonight I had chicken and mashed potatos and French cut cooked green beans.  Yum--like I don't eat that ALL the time.

[J-ROC]

Well, tomorrow or friday I'm going to make a beef type meal with a red-wine based sauce.  It will be good.  I think.

[Questing Character]

Hmm, that does sound good.  Have a KQ9 dinner party!

[J-ROC]

Alright!  

All the KQ9 groupies are invited over for those who want to come!


*eats dinner alone, as usual*  

[Questing Character]

James, I think the problem is that you need to move.  Closer to us.  And THEN we'll eat all your food for with you!
Either that, or move to a college town, because there's plenty of college students who would be glad to eat with you.

[J-ROC]

It's a lot easier for you guys to visit me in Canada than for me to leave.  So there.

Tonight, I'm going to cook ribeye steak.  
I'm going to cut it into bite sized chunks, marinate and cook it in a homemade sauce.

The sauce:
50/50 Red wine/water (maybe 1 cup each, I don't measure dang it! )
4 cloves of freshly minced garlic
1/2 large yellow onion (1 small one, use own discretion)
1/2 cup Soya Sauce
1/4 cup Oyster Sauce
2 Tablespoon(s) of Italian seasoning (can usually be bought as such, oregano/thyme/rosemary/basil mix would be an okay substitute)
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon pepper (I like pepper)
Couple dabs of hot sauce

At least that's what I'm going to aim for.  I'll let you all know how it turns out.

I could never eat in class.  Chips and stuff are too noisy and the starving people beside you always watch while you eat.

I did use to drink lots of coke in lectures though, not only to satisfy hunger but to stay awake.

I don't think we were allowed to eat during lectures/class.

[Yonkey]

Well, technically you're not supposed to.  But there's always the odd person snacking on something small.  I have yet to hear a prof say "Hey no eating!  GIVE ME THAT SANDWICH!  "

 

[J-ROC]

Cheap wine rocks my world!

and it's good to cook with!


PS: Your guys' respective universities sucked then.   We only weren't allowed eating in labs or computer rooms.  Normal classrooms were open season.

[Yonkey]

Oh yeah, definitely not in labs.  But I used to eat & drink in the computer labs even though no one else did.

[Jeysie]

I dunno, none of my teachers and professors allowed eating either.

My science teachers obviously generally had amusing lectures about not eating, as did my music teachers.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Uggg...

I had about a liter of Baja Fresh Salsa today... (With chips of course)

My stomach and intestines are trying to kill themselves...

We only weren't allowed eating in labs or computer rooms.  Normal classrooms were open season.

well considering in 6th form our form room was at first the library and then a computer room, followed by another move to yet another computer room...well we kinda ate in there anyway. we had a pushover tutor, and if he wanted me to take the register for him then he would hav to hush about me eating in there.
However i migrated to the large step to sun myself in the summer, which our head teacher didnt approve of, hence the daily ritual of her trying to move us away from the step because we made the place look untidy! She never won! Neither did our form teacher! we ate and sat where we pleased![/glow]

During the regular semester, it depends on the classroom (we have the old classrooms and the master classrooms--master classrooms have all the expensive equiptment).  In the master ones, we could only drink smething if it had a lid to it.  But during the summer semesters, the professors don't really care if you eat, since classes streatch between 2-3 hours...and others streatch 4-5 hours.  Can't really go that long without food

what about beds...do they allow beds or duvets? i dont think i could last 5 hours without sleep   especially a lecture!

[koko_99_2001]

Sorry...beds aren't allowed.  But they do give us a break every hour or so!  And don't worry...I didn't have one of the 5 hour classes...my longest one wsa 3 hr 40 min.

Well, that recipe I listed a few threads ago worked out really really well.  Just change the ratio of wine/water to 75/25.
I also added a tbsp or so of worcheschire sauce.
Keep in mind you should cook it in a covered cooking dish.  If you want to thicken up the juice/sauce, then uncover it and let it boil off a bit.

We were not allowed to eat during lectures, nor where we allowed to eat in the classrooms. The only exception to one of those rules was in my sixth year of high school, when one of the privileges was having your lunch in one of the classrooms. Mainly because another one of those privileges was going outside from the school during the noon-break and get something to eat, for example a pizza, which ofcourse would not be appropriate to eat that in front of all of the other students who didn't have those privileges.
