I love shared meals at work. Except when I have to contribute. Only because when I get the email, in my head I plan to make some thing really fantastic, but in reality I remember the night before at 9pm and swear alot. If you work with me, I won't make this but you can. I will have forgotten about it and would have bought a pack of sausage rolls on the way into work. skill rating: easy easy mood rating: what can I make in 5 mins before I leave to work which makes it look like I care Time: about 5 min you need - 1 cup grated cheese - 1 tin chilli beans (hot ones please if you're making it for me) - 1 tub sour cream (lite or full fat...won't make much difference, use light if you're premenstrual it'll make you feel like you're doing something) Put everything in a bowl, with a stick blender mash it all up until it is pretty much smooth. Serve with Corn chips. Or bagel chips or pita chips but they're too expensive to waste on workmates and come in those tiny little bags. My favourite are the Mexicasa because they don't break and leave little bits of chip in the dip which is yuck.

When school says something to contribute to a shared lunch but I'm a) broke b) stuffed and c) too proud to send them with a bag of chicken chips. skill rating: easy as mood rating: stressed because the kids only told you about the shared lunch last night Time: about 15 min you need - white bread - toothpicks - jam - butter if you can be fagged spreading it, I always find it rips white bread and then you have to try and patch it, and it looks crap, but some people are a bit anal about jam and butter. Get a life FFS. Spread jam onto bread. Cut off crusts Roll up With a serrated knife and a light touch, gently cut the rolls into 4 and secure with a toothpick. (if you are too rough they will squish and go oval. Not good AT ALL) But I have no toothpicks! What self respecting person has no toothpicks? Make jam sandwiches, with your tiniest cookie cutter cut into hearts or stars. you should get about 5 per sandwich (4 in the corners and one in the middle - hide the ones that got a bit of crust on them under the good ones). Make 6 Sandwiches, and you get 30 cut outs. If you're feeling generous make a selection of stars and hearts. Eat the scraps. |
