I can't be bothered cooking tonight

Here are some things I have eaten over the last few weeks which have not involved much culinary skill on my behalf...

Chicken and cashews and steamed rice from my wonderful local Vietnamese. Fresh, cheap and BYO, all things that make me happy in a restuarant. It is also very close to my work and does lunch, the soups are delicious.



Oozy, slightly whiffy brie, perfectly riper, but this photo shows it in clingwrap. Had this with some ciabatta and wine. It is really important NOT to buy Aussie camembert/brie as they have been pasteurised and do not ripen properly with the same kind of bacteria. This is why all supermarket soft white-moulds are hard and have an expiry date of about a year! Get thee to a good deli and ask for an unpasteurised version. You won't go back!


Sour dough roll with ham, emmenthal and Paul Newman aioli.


Trident Thai Chicken soup which I have mentioned before with shredded chicken breast, shallots and mushrooms added. The best packet soup ever.


2 minute noodles. Undomestic Goddess style. Use indomie brand noodles, they can be found in the Asian section, the flavour is amazing. You will want to throw away those packets of maggi chicken flavoured noodles with the fluorescent yellow flavouring immediately if not sooner!! I made the noodles then stir fried with onion, chicken, prawns, capsicum and edamame. The indomie Mi Goreng and Mi Goreng Satay flavours are both widely available and really nice. They are still pretty unhealthy though, but not as bad as fast food, so I take some comfort in that! Of course cooking rice noodles is reqlly quick as well, but the flavour of the indomie is nice and it means you don't have to use any other sauces.
If anyone is reading this please add in the comments section any quick, yummy meals that you whip up when you don't want to do something fancy schmancy!
