My only experience with self raising flour was trying to cook bread. And the few times I have, it never rises. Instead it just settles there like a flat pancake. I hope the same won’t happen to you... it is just morally and mentally destroying when you pull out your bread expecting this nice fluffly thing instead it come out like a flattened brick....
I think it loses it's ability to rise after a while, so yours may have been too old. We don't have it here, so I'm just stuck substituting like always.
Probably just some Campbell's soup. Chicken with rice, maybe. I had a huge chicken fried steak and eggs for lunch and I'm not really hungry.
It fluffed up a little, but not as much as I had expected. It is kinda dense and holds it structure like a memory foam with a crust, but much better tasting.
Red Thai Curry (chicken, carrot, red onion, red pepper, leek, aubergine) with Brown rice Sainsbury's do little jars of galangal, lemon grass etc. and a "base mix" which makes cooking a Thai Curry a breeze! Much better than the "red paste"/"green paste" stuff.
Depends. I had a friend who worked the front desk in a resort hotel that regularly hosted a conference of Orthodox Jews. During the time of the conference, the hotel kept the automatic front doors open during Sabbath, as the conventioneers said that for them to step on (or perhaps it was breaking an IR beam) the sensor which triggered the doors to open would violate the rules on not even lighting a light during the Sabbath. Furthermore, the hotel hired temporary elevator operators (perhaps more relevant to your case) to call the elevators and push the buttons for their religious guests, as it seems to not be against their law to hire someone to carry out tasks that they would be forbidden from doing during the holy period. I suggest you consult your local Orthodox rabbi for a ruling on whether or not you cooked your dinner, I'm no expert.
Skin-on Hoki fillets fried in burned butter with beer-battered fries and an assortment of veggies. I've got no time to be imaginative today - I'm working on a short-story draft.
"I've got no time to be imaginative: I'm busy being imaginative!" Your imagination is spent elsewhere. Finite imagination.
Wonderful. Except for the combination of gherkins and --- what is that, toffee? --- sweets??? I watch the Sharknados every time they're on tv, they're i n s a n e . I'll be doing a slowcooker thingie today, not sure what yet. Decisions, decisions. Anybody writing a cookbook here?
Gherkins, cheese and a Werthers original does not a Masterchef finalist make... As for the single chicken thigh + wart and manky rice - I despair, standards have plummeted. ... I won't eat tonight, I'm too depressed. I'll take my blanket and sit outside the bank until a famous photographer arrives.
Very finite. If you pull out your microscope and add another microscope, you may be able to find it, but even then....
Beef and Barley soup. I've got a pregnant friend who's been craving it, so naturally now I start craving it, too.
Balls. Shop-bought meatballs to be precise, normally I make my own but at 40p for a packet I yielded to simplicity. Lord knows what's in 'em, but I have tried to compensate by putting good things in the sauce - carrots, leek, tomatoes (tinned), tomatoes (fresh), spinach, and sugar-snap peas, flavoured with oregano, thyme, and black peppercorns. Oh, and a teaspoon of home-made chilli sauce to give it a bit of oomph. Will serve on some kind of pasta, depending what's in the cupboard. Not spaghetti - apart from the fact that I am wearing a white shirt, the spaghetti has been in the cupboard since the time before last when I moved house, so around fourteen years...
