Broke Uni Student

It was O week here in Australia this week so I thought we should celebrate, even if neither of us attends a university anymore. It was time to pay homage to the brave young men and women on the front line, putting their wallets at risk to gain a higher education. I want to show them that you can still make a nice meal from not very much at all. (This theme may or may not have come about because I was having a broke week this week having just been to soundwave..... Happy Accident!).

The Theme

Broke Uni Student

The Menu

The Entree

On Sale Biscuits with Reduced Price Dip

You don't have to spend a lot to look fancy - it's all in the attitude. Look at biscuit circle - hardcore. 

Chef's Rating: 8 out of 10 Crabs

You can't really go wrong here, unless the dip you bought has actually gone off. I wouldn't recommend that (I'm not that cheap, no matter how big my nose is!)

The Main

Fancy Spaghetti on Toast With Mash Potato and a Side of Beetroot

We Turned this.....

.... into this! And that's why I love cooking.

Most of the ingredients were things we already had or they were on special or reduced. Even all the veggies were from a Woolies reject bin. It's all about timing.

The mash potato was smooth as a babies bottom (thanks to the rad mashing skillz of Chemo Boy) and the Spaghetti was spicy and cheesy, just the way I like it. The beetroots were weird and under cooked, I didn't know what I was doing with them. I'll be honest, I only bought them because they were in the produce reject bin and didn't really cost me any money. Be adventurous!

Drinks

Passion Pop

Passion Pop is a classic, you can't really go past it. And as cheap and nasty as it is it really is great value for money. It does the job quite well and really, for that price I would expect it to taste a lot worse than it does. Here's to Passion Pop!

Now that I'm a little older my bang for your buck choice is those fancy box wines. Still quite cheap for the amount of drinks in them. Drink one box and you're having fun**. After the passion pop it actually tasted quite sweet, tooooo sweet and was a little hard to drink . Slightly disappointing. 

**Drunken Armature Hour Supports the responsible consumption of alcohol. Know your limit.

Good night you poor poor souls. May the uni gods be shining upon you. (Yes... that makes sense...)
