nah, they're premade, you just need to toast them in the oven a bit. Takes about 3min per side. To big to fit in a standard toaster, might work in a 4 slice, with a bit of rotation.
Easy pasta:
Ingredients:
1) Heat pan
2) Add oil to pan
3) Add garlic to pan
4) Add mince to pan
5) Brown mince
6) Add can of tomato-and-onion gravy or seshebo or whatever
7) Mix well and simmer, stirring occasionally
8) Pasta!
8.1) Boil water in pot
8.2) Dump pasta in pot
8.3) Add like a teaspoon of oil
8.4) Remove from heat when Al Dente
9) At this point, mince has been simmering for a good 15mins at LEAST (mince is often from quite a tough cut, and I'm told the classy restaurants simmer mince for close on an hour). Taste the sauce and add salt, pepper, sugar to taste (sugar works REALLY well here).
Variations:
1) Add some chilli @ the garlic-phase
2) Add some herbs at the end
3) Sprinkle with cheese when serving

When in need of emergency meal and one is alone - Cereal FTW!!! Coco Pops to be exact
Assuming you've got milk in the fridge that hasn't gone south. Bachelors are apt to make sure their weekly supply of beer is cold before they check the milk stock. Guilty as charged.

blunomore - why you alone at home so much?
ok, sandwiches, toasted or not...
tuna salad, tuna rice salad.
look st these new microwaveable rice in the bags, very fast, and a meal on it's own.
just a steak or chicken fillet.
these kingklip fish in the cheese sauce, you get them in the bag, microwave it, and them put it on a slice of bread.
microwave chips for a side dish.
and if i'm really not in the mood for cooking, soya milk, the chocolate type....
ask a batchelor...we know all the short cuts

Tried this for week, microwave pies and chips. Except for the heartburn, the pies were of okay, but the chips tasted like cardboard and never cooked all the way through. So you'd end up with overdone chips on the outside, and soggy, cold chips on the inside. Oven baked chips are better.

Had great success with a DIY sub the other day. Just buy a french loaf from Spar (R5), cut it open and throw in some stuff + cheese. Oven @ 180 for a bit and good to go.
Else tuna sandwich. (with lots of pickled gurkens {sp?})

and if you're tired of tuna, then the canned sardines are also good, with chopped onions, tomatoes and chillies on toast.

Love both of these
Yeah that does work really nicely.... All I do is add meat + sauce + 1 ton of cheese.
You can eat those bones, they are so soft..

Get a slow cooker. Put the meat and potatoes, carrots and green beans in in the morning and when you're home the food's done. Use the remaining sauce for stock (for making soup) the next day
On the rare occasions I'm dining alone I go off in the kitchen
Five alarm chilli being my favourite (too spicy
) or pork medallions in creamy whole grain mustard sauce (too rich ), or a fillet steak stuffed with stilton wrapped in bacon with a port sauce (too rare ).

This thread made me think (yes, it happens on occasion).
I have never used my slow cooker for a curry - always do it on the stove top. I found a nice recipe for chicken curry in the slow cooker and will attempt it on Thursday !
