I do quite like a bit of tripe actually! Hard to come by in a lot of places so I do like to get a bit when I'm home off the market.

As for work, I've had three jobs over Summer. One week I was contracted to work 88hrs, and I didn't complain once even though I had to put up with a patronising old fool who isn't going to be employed again by the people I work for.

Wisdom doesn't just come from getting old. Some people could do with learning that before they start preaching at me.

And I'd like a slow cooker but it just seems like another thing to take home at the end of the year. And people are stupid and pull out plugs as we don't have many plug sockets in the kitchens. So I can see myself coming home to disappointment quite often!

I do like the thought of making chicken soup though and broths. Especially as I can freeze it.

And the thing with herbs is that they're a costly item when other people use them. I live on a £10-15 shopping budget most weeks. Living with other students, it's easy for them to use up all your herbs and spices. I buy the basics for my spag bol and chilli, but that's about it. And I've no problem with dried produce, I've just got a problem with things that have preservatives and silly amounts of sugar added when you wouldn't dream of putting sugar into it if you were cooking it from scratch. Not to mention salt.

And I wouldn't mind trying horse, I hear it's a very good meat for you, very lean. I'm not sure where I'd leave it to hang though.
