The Bachelor 'How To' Thread

[perverse]

One I've always been partial to is 'buttering' a few slices of bread with BBQ sauce, laying cheese across the top of it, sprinkling it with mixed herbs, and then tossing it under the grill. Works a treat with sweet chili sauce and, in one fit of adventurousness, I even threw a few gherkins on between the sauce and the cheese.

That wasn't so good :lol:

now THAT is a bachelor meal! LOL I LOVE IT.. and i'm definately going to try it in the not too distant future.

the gherkins though.. dewwwd.. what were you thinking? hahahaha

nothing wrong with adventurous though.. thats when you start to find the REAL gems. keep up the good work, lol. i mean just think, in actual fact you just took one for the team.. i'm certainly not gonna try that now.. lol.

spagetti bol is so good, i reckon i could eat it 4 nights in a row... rofl. i've done much much worse. i don't even know what my record for # of nights for pizza in a row.. but i'd wager it's in the vicinity of months.

i'm such a lazy twat.. every night i weigh up whats the best tasty to cleanup ratio i can find in the house.. and make it.. lol.

real bachelor food - married men would not be allowed to eat it.

Chilli.

You need to buy some dried bird's eye chillis - which are little suckers about 2 cm long.

chop up a large onion finely and start it cooking slowly with a teaspoon of paprika, about five birds eye chillis crushed as fine as you can (with gloves on or crush them in a plastic bag - don't touch them - and don't rub your eyes if you do) and a bit of oil.
throw in half a kilo of mince when the onion is goes clear and stir it all together till the mince is just about cooked - then add a capsicum and two tomatoes chopped up coarsely and a can of drained red kidney beans and just let it all warm through.

That can burn you a new ring.

the gherkins though.. dewwwd.. what were you thinking? hahahaha

Well, I like them by themselves. I like cheese. I like sweet chili sauce. I thought it was a match made in heaven. Much like my ill fated Nerd, Skittle, M&M, and sherbert ice cream the other night.

haha oh man that last recipe sounds excellent roops.. but man.. you're not afraid of a bit of cleanup are ya?

I don't know about everyone else, but I get a great sense of satisfaction out of making a proper meal. Sure, sometimes I feel like microwave rice or a toasted sandwich (speaking of which...) - but on other occasions I feel like spending a good forty five minutes making a pasta sauce, a garden salad, and going the whole hog. Hell, later this week I'm seriously tempted to cook boscaiola. It's so sinfully good.

Best thread eva

If we can get a few more bachelor recipes, I move that we publish a Bachelor Cookbook

lol why stop at cookbook? i'm thinking "The Bachelor Compendium: everything the new bachelor needs to know (and some stuff they probably shouldn't)"!!

as for the chilli roopy... it's always better on the way in than the way out isnt it? lol...

Here's my tip:
Move out of home, and then repeat that sentence.

Um, I already have. :?

Ultimate bachelor tip, Milk crates are your friend. They work as furniture, storage solutions, stack well for that time you want to see how high you can get them (i think we got 28 once), and their free so long as they don't see you flogging them from the back of the fruit shop.

Get a rice cooker. Simple as f**k to use and rice + something = cheapest meals ever.

entertain yourself with a nice game of house orange. Basically just involves throwing oranges to your roommate through objects with a high level of difficulty such as hallways, pot plants, through the phone cord etc. Similar games include house lemon, house tomato, house potato and house rolled up undies.

Don't waste your time cleaning unless absolutely necessary or you are trying to/ are getting laid.

Have byo parties - hopefully people will pass out and leave beer in your fridge. once the person leaves the house they are no longer entitled to any left over alcohol and becomes your property.

milk crates are excellent, but if you've got a boney arse like me - put some cardboard over the top of them, because they will be quite painful without. 28 stacked is impressive.

lol house potato has the best ring to it... we just used a ball

lol arn't all parties byo parties? i mean apart from your own grog + maybe a bottle of tequila for everyone to enjoy. i have been known to profit from them on occasion... jim beams in the fridge.. half a carton here.. sometimes you even get very lucky and end up with waaaay more than you started with.. usually happens at the big party events. we used to call it the "12 o'clock rule".. whereby if someone leaves the premise and their alcohol is still in our fridge after 12am, it's property of the house.. and fair game.

actually the 12 o'clock rule had been used to claim all sorts of things apart from alcohol in the past... lol...

great post samwise.. i can see your experience shining through there.
