Oi. What's easy to make for dinner, besides sandwiches and microwave dinners?

[Let's face it - Shikamaru can cook for himself if need be, but Chouji's the food lover. Unfortunately there comes a point where one gets bored of the dishes they know how to make - particularly when those dishes are sandwiches and instant food.

Speaking of instant ( Read more... )

this week's sucked, board games are his weakness, getting tired of junk food, tsinku, shogi totally counts as training, kidnappings are troublesome

[There's a sound, perhaps like the rustling of feathers or maybe that's just a light footfall, and there's someone else in the clearing. One arm resting loosely out of its sleeve and in the opening of a blue silk overshirt and red eyes cutting through the shadows, Itachi takes only a few steps in before stopping to watch.]

[He was wondering what had had Tsinku distracted. It's this that alerts him to Itachi's presence, which does well to make him feel like a green genin again. A pointless feeling - Tsinku is a spirit and that comes with an awareness of things that not even a trained shinobi can possess.

But it's something to work on. If he were back home, that sort of a delay could be a deadly one.

...He still has no idea what to make of Itachi, anothing thing this place has made overly complicated. One the one hand, it's nice to have not had to fight him; on the other, his reputation back home means he always feels like he has to be prepared for it.

Shikamaru takes a mental inventory of the weapons he has on hand before looking up from the board.] ...Long time no see.

yourhatred December 31 2010, 03:59:46 UTC

Mm. It has been some time, hasn't it?

[He takes another few steps closer, casually, stopping when he's within easy striking distance.]

You seem to have found someone who can offer you more of a challenge than I could.

It helps that he's not seven.

Mac and cheese? That's like, the only thing I can make that doesn't end with everyone making weird faces and pretending to like it.

[Voice] its_troublesome December 31 2010, 03:23:39 UTC

Mac and cheese? [Mun hereby declares ninjaland has no such thing. But cheese sounds good.]

[Voice] phasingly December 31 2010, 03:27:37 UTC

All you have to do is make macaroni and melt cheese on it. It's good and really easy.

[Voice] its_troublesome December 31 2010, 03:49:15 UTC

Sounds like something I might have to look into then. Thanks.

[Look who's actually deigning to open the journal... and speak.]

Seriously, Shikamaru?

[Voice] its_troublesome December 31 2010, 06:10:13 UTC

[Progress, he takes it. This isn't even filtered.

...so of course it's to bug him.]

What now, woman?

[Voice] dangerouswind December 31 2010, 06:16:04 UTC

[Annoying you is one of life's pleasures. She remembers this now.]

You're seriously asking the population at large to help you cook?

[Voice] its_troublesome December 31 2010, 06:16:49 UTC

No, I'm asking for suggestions on what to cook.

If you've got a rice maker, I could give you some ideas that are really easy to make.

[voice] its_troublesome December 31 2010, 08:12:54 UTC

I do, actually. [And it just so happens to be that rice is one of the things he knows he can cook reasonably well.] Fire away.

[voice] swordboning December 31 2010, 08:24:04 UTC

If you take about three cups of rice and put it in a frying pan, it only takes a few minutes to add in things like onions, peas, eggs, carrots, and soy sauce and cook it up. If you want, you can add whatever kind of meat you'd like too. If I'm using frozen vegetables, I can be done in practically ten minutes but using fresh veggies obviously takes longer because you have to cut them up. The meat would have to be cooked too, obviously, if you want to add it. Chicken only adds on a few extra minutes.

If that's too much, you can always take some cool rice, put some raw salmon or tuna in the middle, ball it up, wrap it in nori, and eat it like that. It all depends on what is easy to you.

In the end, if you're just looking for help cooking, I don't mind doing that. It's a really fulfilling hobby.

[voice] its_troublesome December 31 2010, 08:35:13 UTC

I got a friend who'd say the same thing. He makes some mean onigiri. I'm usually just in it to fill myself up. [There's some scribbling sounds - pen against paper - as he writes down the ingredients he might want to add in.] Thanks though. That sounds good.

[ Lightning is probably even more clueless than Shikamaru is when it comes to cooking in a place like this, but if there's one thing she does know... ]

Oatmeal. Not the kind marked 'instant' at the stores, though.

[voice] its_troublesome December 31 2010, 17:58:20 UTC

Does it taste much different?

[By general rule of thumb, most things do. But he has a harder time applying this to oatmeal. 8|a]

[voice] thestormishere December 31 2010, 18:17:05 UTC

Definitely.

[ Of course, she's from a world where everything is naturally really bland, so her sense of taste is probably quite a bit more in-tune with telling that sort of thing than most people's, but... details. ]

[voice] its_troublesome December 31 2010, 18:25:56 UTC

All right. Any special way I should make it then?
