    I've made some vegetarian meals of my own. Usually pasta. I just like meat. A lot. And now that I've brought it up, I have to try meat in chocolate at some point.

    Hey I had at least 10 of those horrible things. I had to prove to you they were edible and not a waste of my time and money.
    Thank God I never tried it again.

    Dinner...Hmm, the kids do have to eat don't they? Maybe we'll have what Cher served in "Mermaids." Marshmallows, and cheese doodles. Sounds exquisite to me. Actually, I have to try and do something new with hamburger. Oh my God, I have no idea, but when I figure it out, I'll let you know.

    Have you tried making "hobo dinners"? You form patties with the ground beef, and put them, seasoned and topped with frozen mixed veggies, in a sealed foil packet. Put it in a 350 oven for 45 minutes to an hour, and you have a meal with no pots or pans to clean up.

    Km if you have young kids, make regular hamburgers except shaped like snowmen and pine trees. Tell your kids they're special hamburgers.
    If they're older make meat pies. Make pie crust. Cut out little circles in the pie crust about the size of a small saucer. Place hamburger that has been fried on the stove in the middle of it and close it up. Bake them in the oven until the pie crust is golden brown. Eat them with ketchup and they're pretty good.

    Edit: Cogito my Mom makes up fish like that. You're right it is tasty and easy.

    Sounds good, except for ruining them with ketchup.

    Spice up the meat well with taco seasoning and minced onions, brown it up a bit in the pan, then put it in the pie crust circle and close the packet by folding it over in half so it's shaped like a D. brush the top with a little olive oil (or an egg glaze) and press the edges with the tines of a fork. Bake in a 350 oven until the top is browned, and Voila! empanadas.

    I like my ketchup.
    And thanks for giving a bit better instructions. I haven't made them in a year, and forgot some details.

    Damn you lot have made me hungry and what I have for tea tonight I really don't know what it is but it looks like it was just taken out of a dog food can and placed in my bowl....It is very off putting that is for sure.

    I don't think I am hungry after contemplating eating whatever it is to be honest <cries and puts fork with unknonwn substance back into bowl>

    I'm about to boil some spaghetti and smother it in spaghetti sauce, with some dried basil, oregano, hot spice, powdered garlic and Italian spices. Yummy.

    No.
    Spaghetti is expensive and only comes in little packages. I need it all for me.

    No thank you.
    And spaghetti is expensive here, because its all imported. Included the spaghetti sauce.
    But its good, so I don't mind.
    Also expensive here means it costs about 6 dollars American.

    I'll send you spaghetti the next time I make it if you send me some of those Torana. I can't find yeast so I haven't been able to make pizza months. And while some of the pizza I've had here is good, its not the same.

    You don't need a jar of sauce to make spagetti.

    We'll be having home made chicken pie with potatoes and peas. Yum.

    I have about 200 recipe books and 6 sites for recipes on the computer and I never use them. I cook from scratch and add what I think looks good. Haven't had a lot of failures but then I have been cooking since I was 8 earlier if you count mud pies.
    My favourite to make is egg rolls. they are so good when they are right out of the fryer.
    chicken pot pie sounds good and I already have the stew made. Don't know if I would use biscuit topping or pie crust.
    will have to wait and see about 6pm.

    Here, spaghetti is usually 2 boxes for one U.S. dollar. Some times they run sales three for one dollar, .33 cents.

    We should start our own buisness. I'll ship you spaghetti, and you sell it for less than everyone else. We'll make money hand over fist.
