Tip for courgette fritters: Warm fritters can be served with garlic yoghurt; but alternatively they can be eaten cold with a bit of lemon-juice squeezed on them.

Courgette Fritters

2 medium-size courgettes
3 eggs
3-4 spring onions
Fresh mint (handful)
60 ml single cream
1/2 cup Finely grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup white flour (can be increased if the mixture is too wet)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or pimento allspice according to preference
Salt, pepper for seasoning
Vegetable Oil for frying.

Grate the courgette with the large side of the cheese grater. Add chopped onions and mint. Add the eggs and stir until the eggs are beaten. Then add the rest of the ingredients to this mixture and stir well. The mixture should feel wet but not watery. If it is watery, you can add more flour. Heat the oil in a wide pan on medium heat. With a round spoon pour the mixture into the hot oil, they will form individual fritters. Cook each side until they are brown. Place them on kitchen towel to get rid off the excess oil for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Lentils recipe:

1 large onion (red or spanish)
3 large tomatoes (or 1 big tin)
200 gram green lentils (lentilles vertes if possible)
3-4 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Fresh parsley (handful)
1 teaspoon sugar
pinch of salt and pepper to season
pinch of oregano
1/2 lemon juice
1/2 pint of water (a bit more if you use fresh tomatoes)

Cut the onions into small cubes and fry gently in medium heat olive oil until pink (not gold or burned). Add the sugar and balsamic vinegar, cook for a minute or two then add the lentils. Stir-cook for about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano, and water The water should cover the lentils. Cook for 35-40 minutes on gentle heat. Once cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes, and add the lemon juice and parsley and serve (can also be eaten as a cold meze after keepin in the fridge for 2 hours)

maybe I should change my username too. How about 505 But seriously, I'm bored of it, and people always think I'm a guy.

it would be really funny if you were typing the message here while she was watching and transcript your conversation with her, while it is happening

You: can I help you

the weirdo: No.

You: Oh, ok wait then

the weirdo: Are you typing what we speak?

You: Are you watching my screen?

Dear venturin12. If you choose the PhD path, you cannot really avoid research. However you can make it enjoyable. First identify what bits of the research process you don't like. Research is quite a broad set of works. Then, you can decide to do a practice-based PhD. You still have to do a lot of research. But the practice element can be really enjoyable, you actually wouldn't mind putting up with the bits you don't like. (My research also has practice element in it, so it's not 100% practice but the work varies a lot.)
