Better than mac and cheese! Thanks.

I use white rice. I don't like rice that tastes perfume-y.
Stove, saucepan, frypan, can opener, cutlery, crockery. And several microwavable containers.
I'll pass on the old shoe idea 😂 I know what you mean. It's hard to screw up a slow cooker stew. I don't use any of those sites but I'll have a little sniff around and see what I can find.
I've been adding margarine and yes, butter would be much better. Butter chicken curry! 😲
Awesome. Cheers.
Oh that's one of the cheaper ones! No taste is good - I've eaten stuff cooked in peanut oil and it makes everything taste like hot peanut butter. Canola oil is on the shopping list! Cheers!
Charity shops here don't accept electrical goods, because people were donating dangerous things like what my microwave was until very recently. I love stews so I'll keep an eye out and maybe I'll get lucky somehow. Cheers.
Your message came up as "Boil pasta and drain" so I didn't reply. Now I see you weren't suggesting I eat plain boiled pasta!
There's a Polish pasta dish that uses strawberries, pineapple doesn't sound too crazy.
Thanks!
I've been looking for a site like this for years! There are are a lot of cooking sites that claim to be cHeAp aNd eAsY and they're not. This looks really useful. As you say, not every detail will suit me and I'll have to be resourceful, but it's a very useful guide. Cheers!
The stir-fry thing sounds good. It will give me a break from rice!
I've been frying stuff in margarine because it's cheaper, and the vast array of cooking oils confuse me. I read one oil is used for one particular type of frying, and another for a different type of cooking, etc. Is there a cheap cooking oil that's OK to use for frying lots of different things?
Yes I have an electric kettle. That's a good point about super basic things when you're too tired. My shopping list grows ever bigger! Cheers!
