Recipes!

Hey, y'all asked. These, for those who haven't been following the endless saga, are some of the ad hoc recipes my flatmates and I have come up with in three weeks of having our own kitchen. The best ones get written down and named, so here they are. For the record, nothing we've made has been poisonous or even actually inedible - it's all come out quite all right. (Notable borderline cases - I was trying to make rice last week whilst Claire told me at great length about Sparta versus the Athenian Empire, so I sort of forgot what I was doing and burned the bottom third of it, and also the recipe that was named as "That Pasta Claire Made That Nearly Killed Everyone", which was utterly delicious but had the fat content of a tub of lard. I ate three mouthfuls and was full, and also sure I was about to have a heart attack. It has been excluded from this list.)

( Chicken a la Pat and Iona; Chilli Chicken; Chilli Cinnamon Rock Pancakes; Heat-Resistant Pasta; Impromptu Omelette of Song And Story; Claire And Iona Make Irish Stew )

I do hope that all these are of some use to somebody. Just about everything in them is optional, no measurements are accurate, and you can add just about anything you like to them.

And soy sauce is the food of the gods, apparently.
