do you know if i can cook without filling it to a certain level? i'm thinking of getting a 6 litre or 6.5 litre one so i can potentially make a lot (e.g., soup) but it would be good if i could do half of that while i'm learning at least.
tagine recipes sound like a great idea. i'll look up beef bourquignonne. never heard of it. thanks :-)

groan. that is kind of the problem... the basic idea is that... i'm sick of eating the way that other people round here have been eating. which is to say mostly eating junk in my room, eating cheap takeaways, and eating cheap / free communally cooked stuff like cookies and bread.
i need to get back to more of how i was eating before... except before people weren't communal about food, i worked less than 5 minutes away (so could go home for lunch etc), and i reliably had the kitchen to myself at predictable times.
the best answer i can think of involves a slow cooker. i simply *cannot* get trapped in the kitchen making idle chatter for hours at a time / every time i need to check on something...
but the smell...
other people may think i'm selfish. but that is okay. i have a thick skin, i swear.
(i refuse to feed everyone all the time or get caught in 'reciprocity' of the form i give you meat and you give me cookies and chips)
if i'm selfish... too bad. i will get a thick skin, i swear.
they have as much money as me (they have more mostly) so i REFUSE to feel bad about this
