    The Man is gonna throw three steaks on the grill for us and a friend, who is currently making a marinade for the steaks, while I debate whether Uncle Ben's chicken-flavored rice is good with steak...

    Thank you, college.
    I miss real food.

    Pasta bolognese with yoghurt and carrot salad.

    Melon balls and watermelon squares for afters.

    As soon as I manage to find the way to my kitchen, that is!

    Hmmm - why can't Scher find her way to the kitchen? I ask myself.

    Is it so long since she cooked that she has forgotten where the kitchen is
    and what it's there for? Unlikely, I think.

    Is it that she lives in some vast palatial spread and gets lost in the miles of corridors? Maybe.

    Is it the chef's night off and he's out with all the rest of the staff? Bad planning, Scher - get that relief rota sorted asap.

    Scher lives in a wagon train and they have a kitchen wagon that has somehow got itself detached from the rest of the group? Quick, send out a search party.

    Scher lives on take-aways and there's no-one to send out to the chippy. No, never, can't be.

    Scher is proper poorly and her eyes are all swollen and puffy and she can't see out of them. Poor girl, I hope not.

    Scher is working so hard she hasn't had time to cook for ages and remembers it's something to do with this room with a stove in it, somewhere round this corner... Maybe....

    Scher is working so hard, she has barricaded herself in her study with books, files, papers etc, and has to mine her way out even though hunger is gnawing at her and weakening her frenzied attempts to reach sustenance... Quick, someone send out a St Bernard with a barrel of chocolate.

    Scher, do please post something and let us know you are alive and well. And fed.

    Thanks for the concern, Kasie! You are a true friend!

    Well, I normally spend a considerable amount of time in the kitchen (even though I would not consider myself a culinary goddess)... My residential address goes:

    Ms Scheherazade
    The Kitchen
    Scher's House
    England

    I even got a small corner in the kitchen where I can plug my laptop in without risking getting it ruined by steam and oil.

    However, your guess that my studies got the better of me yesterday was correct... I did manage to find my way at the end to prepare the planned pasta bolognese with much difficulty and effort!

    Tonight, however, was a different story: I was so tired at the end of the day that it had to be kebabs from the local kebab shop, which is rare treat!

    Am much relieved to hear you are surviving (just - kebabs?!?), Scher. I too seem to spend most of my time in the kitchen: either I'm too lazy to move to another place to sit - most of my stuff seems to gravitate to the kitchen table - or it's genetic - both grandmas were professional cooks. Wish they had stayed around longer, not only for me to benefit by their expertise, they were lovely ladies.

    Oh, don't tell me you don't like kebabs! I like them very much (though try not to have them as often as I would like )

    Did they leave behind any recipe books? It'd be great to carry on the family tradition in that way

    I always dream of having a house with a huge kitchen where I can actually live throughout the day but I don't think I will ever be able to afford that. Or even if I did, I would probably end up working round the clock to pay off the mortgage.

    Tonight, had homemade lentil soup with fresh bread.
