It's a lot of fun actually.

 

What can you cook? Anything, or a certain dish?

 

I can cook quite a bit of different things. I'm just not very good at baking.

 

Me?

I can do omlettes, fried breakfast, roast dinner, as well as basic beans/spaghetti/cheese on toast. I can also do ready meals

 

Stir-frying is a lot of fun, easy and tasty. If you go buy a wok, you're basically all set.

 

Yeah, I think I'll start there.

 

All you need are some vegetables, meat and some seasoning. It's good if you put it on a bed of white or brown rice.

 

I'm not really a fan of rice. Except egg fried rice

 

That could work, although I think it might taste a little strange...

 

Strange is good

 

Then you should get on that. Maybe fry a steak and cover it in pancake syrup while you're at it. Better yet, I'll make a chef salad out of what I have left in my kitchen:

Olive oil, Canola oil, bagels, crackers, lettuce, grape tomatoes, orange juice and about ten different spices.

 

you can also serve stir fry with noodles. If you wish, you can even roll it up in tortillas or nan or pita.

 

Question:

I have a question concerning my keyboard. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but my key board has gotten quit a bit of dust, skin flakes and hair under the keys that can't come out. I remember being told that if I unplug my key board, was it in water, and let it dry out completely, I can clean it without worrying about any insanity taking place. Is this true? I only ask cause my keybaord is getting a little grimy XD

 

Dom is in a dorm room in China. it had a microwave and a fridge. The first things he bought were utensils dishes and a slow cooker.
That is a definite must have. You can cook so many different things in it.
Stew, soup, roasts, puddings.
You can use cheap cuts of meat which become tender in the slow cooking. Turn it on in the morning and come home to a hot meal at the end of the day.
Then he bought a large toaster oven so he can make pizza "I had to send him yeast since he can't find any there." He makes flat bread and pizza a lot.
Cooking for yourself you can save a lot of money.
in the slow cooker you can do hot wings, sweet and sour spare ribs, ginger beef.
I love cooking and experimenting. unfortunately my husband is meat and potatoes and since Dom moved out I don't get to try new foods very often.

 

A can of compressed air would probably be all you need for the dust and skin flakes. As for the hair, I'm not so sure what you should do about that. Perhaps a hairnet?

 

my husband has a little kit he bought that attaches to the vacume cleaner. It's nozzle is really small, this gets rid of cat hair and dust quite well. Think he picked it up at an electronics place.
I don't think I would use water on one. I know I spilled coffee on mine and tried to clean it up and it worked but last week it died. Now I am on a normal keyboard and having trouble since I got so used to the split keyboard. Have to go out of town to get a new one.
You might try windex or something similar on a qtip to get between the keys. I know I have done that with some success.

 

I hadn't even thought of that. Good idea! Hair net... hmmm, well I wouldn't have to worry about my winter coat shedding off into my sandwiches XD

 

Use canned air. That will get hair out of it as well. You could also try using something like a leatherman tool to get the hair out.

 

Shave it all off

 

Thanks guys. Now I just have to find some canned air... to the Wal-mart!

 

Chien-Ming Wang is playing pretty well today. He's gone seven innings, only giving up two runs. I'd like to see him take the AL Cy Young.

 

Sigh! I am having a really down day today. I just feel like crawling back into bed and staying there for the next week. Oh wait! I'd had to get out of bed to do that...meh!

 

Maybe you should go to sleep?

 

Nah I'm going to stop being a sad sack. I got out of bed and decided that a rejection email ain't that bad. I know what to work on now and what the publisher is after, so I'll spend every spare moment of my time from now on working on my writing and get myself published! So I'll just put my head down, smile and make a nice hot cup of coffee and get my fingers dancing across the keyboard cranking out some new imagery

 

Rejection slips aren't so bad. I've got some, and at least it's evidence that I've tried.
