Ah. Stirfried broccoli doesn't lose too much bulk for me, though. I like my greens to stay relatively green throughout the cooking process :P

I'm not sure I'll cook them for so long next time (first time doing this), but I quite like the caramelisation, so I probably give them a bit longer than you do. They were still green at the end though! :D

That's probably the best way to go :3

Made an attempt at another loaf of bread yesterday. This one turned out far less hardtack-like. Unfortunately, I had wet hands when kneading it, resulting in a large amount of sticky stuff all over my entire hand. Tasted good, though. I'd have posted a picture, but it's almost all gone already.

So I'll be hopefully heading home next week. That means access to an actual kitchen and fridge with actual food instead of relying on the caffeteria and fast food joints.
Now, I haven't properly cooked anything in months and I'm really getting a hankering for some playing around with food.

So far, I have no idea what exactly I'll be making (or having access to, but that's easily remedied by a trip to the store) but I have some vague cravings of meat and veggie stuff.
I've been considering chicken and mushroom mix with maybe some sort of sauce or extra vegetables in the mix, but aside from the main two ingredients I have no idea what would go well with this so it doesn't try to fight the usually strong mushroom flavour. Maybe some white sauce would be good since from expirience tomato based stuff doesn't usually play nice with mushrooms (then again I could've been doing it wrong for all I know).
Another option is beef/pork, with some more vegetables in some sort of sauce or just swimming around in whatever liquid the veggies and meat let out. I've been thinking of making some sort of ghetto sweet and sour sauce but I'm not sure what I'd be adding aside from vinegar/ketchup/soy. In any case I want something chunky so I've been considering peppers, carrots, onions and maaaaybe pineapple if I can find a sufficently small package since I don't think it'll be used for anything else.
As far as side dishes go I'm thinking either something rice or potato based, depending on the main course.

Alfredos are pretty easy to make. You start with a Roux and just basically add cream and seasonings until you're satisfied.

Don't forget the fancy cheese. Lots of fancy cheese.

Just had a nice breakfast that I actually cooked for a change.
Well, perhaps it was technically brunch, since I'd had a bowl of instant noodles beforehand.

I approve of all the fancy cheese, but it can be to taste. Too much cheese and you go from a cream sauce with cheese in it, to a cheese sauce with lots of cream. It matters when it's actually sitting on the pasta and it cools and starts to congeal. What looks amazing in the pan can actually turn out....kinda nasty on the plate. A good Alfredo should stay in sauce form until it's actually gone cold. If it's still warm and starting to look like cottage cheese, you have worshiped too fervently at the Cheese Altar.

What is it?

Appears to be scrambled eggs on toast with jam.

It seems to be the great Aussie breakfast of scrambled eggs and vegemite on toast :3

Wait, really? O.o
Do you/the people around you never really eat eggs in general, or just not scrambled ones?

I've grown up around vegetarians, and spend the last 20 years living in a town composed entirely of them.
