I'm going to Uni in about 3 months, so should probably learn to cook. Yesterday I threatened to make scrambled eggs and this morning, I successfully oversaw the satisfactionary completion of a bowl of piping hot tomato soup complete with side order of cheese sandwich. Tell me how to cook better stuff, otherwise I'll stuff my newly-educated face with grilled cheese and Big Macs until I get Czech neck.
And also, I discovered how to spread butter properly. The secret is to keep the butter on the knife and distribute it equally, not to spread the butter from the bread. I'm a genius!

when I've got a bit more time I'll teach you how to make Stew.
It's the cheapest thing you can eat and it feeds you for days.!

That will only work if youre using freshly made noodles, for the starched ones you buy from the supermarket, they need to be cooked or you can just leave them in a cold bowl of water to soften and then fry them breifly to heat, but it's only advisable if you know what youre doing.
If you want rice and you cant cook, i really wouldnt try to do it yourself, it can be an utter ba**ard, best use microwavable uncles bens.

Fair enough.
Buy a microwavable meal. You can tell what food you are buying by looking at the picture on the front of the packaging. Get someone to read the numbers on the back to you and pick one at random. Use the dial or stab the buttons on the microwave until the food starts going round. Then remove the packaging.
Wait until a noise indicates that the packaging is setting off the fire alarm and serve on a plate, preferably someone elses or perhaps in a bowl, in a cup or even simply tip onto the eating surface.
Steal some cutlery from the canteen at uni and enjoy.

One advantage of home Uni - I get all my meals made for me
Hoho, although three nights a week I starve as I'm working.

my brother couldn't cook until he found allrecipes.com. and his wife didn't believe he had actually made this nice creme of something soup. luckily i haven't had the misfortune to find out if i can cook yet. all i can make is lots of very sweet things, e.g. meringues :-)
When i was at uni i did try a few things out. Simple stuff like cheesy scrambled egg is just as easy as toast, but more fun.
All you need is a glass mixing jug (the plastic ones all go funny after a while), break two eggs into it then add a tiny bit of milk (a couple of tablespoons worth is fine, or more to make it more fluffy), and 2 cheese triangles (dairylea or something cheaper from the supermarket).
Stick some toast in the toaster, so it's ready before you finish the egg.
Whisk them with a fork until they're all mixed together, then nuke them in the microwave for 1.5 to 2 minutes, stirring if the egg bubbles near to the top of the jug.
Butter the toast and spread the thick scrambled egg on top. Not amazing, but tasty and easy.

One of our favourite things to do at our flat was to eat a whole pack of party rings at lunchtime. we lived right by a pizza and Chinese takeaway too, so that got visited more often than it should've.
Once, for a treat, I sliced up some potatoes, put them in the oven, the put cheese on the top as a melt. Don't ever do that, because they came out rubbish.

Dunno if this has been suggested or not..but why not live on Pot Noodles?
Or if you'refeeling a bit fruity....Posh Noodles, maybe?
