Hello.

My microwave died in spectacular fashion today. It was the lifeblood of my kitchen. I’ve had it so long I’ve forgotten how to cook without one. And I can’t afford to buy a new one. I was going to post in eatcheapandhealthy but that place looks as dead as my microwave. I don’t know what I’m going to do.

Jamie Oliver often went on about cheap recipes… that required 30 ingredients and a bunch of equipment I don’t have. These are not helpful. I need recipes that are cheap to shop for, cheap on electricity usage, easy to prepare with limited equipment, and it would be a bonus if they are healthy and tasty. I know I’m being picky, but I don’t have much to work with.

I figured this would be the community to ask because to cook well, you need to know stuff that a bad cook wouldn’t know. I hope I can get a few useful ideas. Thanks.

    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!

      No problem, hope you get things sorted. The formatting sometimes goes screwy posting on mobile so I try to space things out.

      I’m intrigued by pasta and and strawberries, gonna have to do some research now
