I may be missing the point in a bit of your post, but what did you mean when you said "books I'm looking to emulate with my project"?

Emulate?

A Teaching Career after a PhD

Just to support Sue on the matter of removing the post, it disgusted me and I cast it aside... anyway, let's move on, it always inspires me to see the (very) many who have open minds, as expected of scholars, in comparison to the rather few who end up doing themselves no good by doing what they do...

Sigh, complex sentence, am trying to revise a sodding essay that refuses to lend itself to any alterations whatsoever...

First of all, do not make these generalistic comments about a country's education system. There are plenty of fantastic unis in India, and there are many people who graduate from these places to become researchers of repute.

I agree that the system is poles apart from the system we have here in the UK. My question to you still remains:

How did you apply to a programme without a remote idea of what it was about? This is like, me suddenly deciding I want to be a microbiologist and applying for a course in microbiology and then asking what it means on a forum.

Is that how things work? No. I am sorry for coming down on you like a ton of bricks but I am amazed and a little annoyed that someone can apply for a course just because they feel like it, even when they havent the faintest clue what they are doing and why.

Ok, hi.

1) You know nothing about forensic, yet you applied for a course that has to do with it? Why?
2) What has linux got do with it? Unless it is something different and not linux the Operating system
3) You provided no link, not that anyone would assist you IMHO
4) You expect to be 'told' stuff to do the course and get the degree?
5) Again, for this beats me: why did you apply for a course in a field you know nothing about? How did you get funding? Why? How? Really, how?

We have recently, regrettably had so many similar questions, from the sub-continent of India that I am beginning to wonder why this is happening! As your name suggests, if you have lived in India and done your past degrees there, please consult your department and find out what you should do for further studies? That may clear your vision....

don't forget cheese and bread, for cheese on toast, or welsh Rabbit as I like to call it (not rarebit, RABBIT!!!) - when I was little I refused to eat it cos I loved bunnies so much and thought it was cruel lol.






Awww, so sweet! I am now spoilt for choice and now am about to hit a cranky mood with a bad tummy ache :-( which has nothing to do with food! (bug gnashes her teeth)

MILS (mums in law) have a universal thing with DILS (dots in law). Ignore, and continue to grate carrots :-)

Quote From sneaks:

I find the grate technique works in most foods - I often grate the entire vegetable aisle into spaggetti bolognase (sp) and don't notice. Also hearty winter soups all whizzed up are a good way of cramming in five-a day. I also have a strange thing in that I hate cold food, I just can't stand it, so much prefer hot stewed apple, to cold horrible fruit!



O we are so similar in our fruit-veg lack of prefs! I have actually spent long minutes just *looking* at stuff like pears and carrots at the supermarket feeling guilty and then walked away to pick up something from the meat section..

My mom's conversation with me usually consist of the following questions: how are you? how's work? are you eating plenty of fresh fruits, lots of yogurt and drinking plenty of water?

And then when I respond to this with my usual irritated retort, she thinks she can trick me by saying stuff like- fresh fruits will give you such good skin..


Arrrgh.

And the worst is to come: If say, YES, I am eating lots of fresh veggies and fruits, she says this: make sure you wash them properly before eating unless they are ready washed.

And then we dont speak on the phone for some days for I am mad and need time to cool down.

Oh you guys! Thanks so much :-) These sound delicious and I shall try them out one by one.... I think I shall start with the chicken-rice thing or the scouse/skouse (forgotten the spelling!) and then move on to rissotto and lasagne and the others....

When i am a pro, I shall bake my own bread :-)

PS Sneaks: i hate veggies like veggies were the source of all evil ever...and these sound like damn good self-cheat techniques!

Hi sleepy, anything really....i have an ambition of making a nice casserole that will stay for a few days, but somehow the stuff i cook ends up tasting like mud or similar... it's just like boiled mulch with salt and pepper and well, it just tastes weird...

Cheese is what I have been surviving on now ... form the cheapest of Tesco singles to the smelliest (!) sometimes...ha ha..

But your fish thing sounds interesting... with beans did you say? Care to share a recipe (pl dont if busy with work..)

On a rather heated day at this forum, I write with a post that will sound mundane, but perhaps it's suited for some spare moments at the end of summer :-)

I vaguely remember something similar to this earlier and of course the net is overflowing with these, but have you got any quick tips, handy hints (all the cliches here), anything to do with food for people who are lazy, forgetful while grocery shopping, miserable at proper cooking, yet love (and need) to eat?

Stuff for which you need just a pan perhaps or just once a week shopping? Or stuff that's good in the store cupboard as keep-for-long ingredients?

Not asking for recipes (although these most welcome), just asking if there's anything for two main moments in my day that leave me flustered:

1) evening time hunger for something quick and savoury :-)

2) Returning at night, dog tired, and want the simplest of hot dinners with minimal kitchen time...

Dont kill me if this thread looks too stupid...

Ahhh I just finished watching all three of the Anne of Green Gables series and am in my philosophical-lass-sitting-by-the-brook mode now... so Magictime change the image!
