So to answer a comment, I tried Uncle Ben’s and Tesco basmati rice.  Since I have yet to try the “real” deal all I can compare it to is jasmine rice.  For microwaveable, it was pretty good.

So, I ended up staying up and went to Tesco this morning and got some food.  I got some Walker’s crisps, prawn cocktail flavored, yuk.  Whoever came up with that one should be shot, however, since the crisps are still on the shelves, I guess there is a lot of people who like it.  It tastes very vinegary, so if you like that taste, then you can have it.  I guess I could not get past that on my sensitive palette. :)

I also found some prawn crackers in the store, not bad, interestingly enough they are all white, do they come in different colors still?  I remember the different colors.  All there is now is white.

I will be cooking my roast beast tomorrow and the sweet potato with brown sugar tomorrow.  I also got some bok choy here, but they call it pak choi, and it’s smaller, almost like individual portions.  Pretty tasty.  Got me some fish and shrimp, figured one night I could make some shrimp and linguine in a garlic butter sauce.  Anyways, I guess that’s about it for this culinary adventure.

I am currently watchin (sort of) Kurt Russell’s Escape from LA.  There’s something bothering me about it, and after about an hour, I figured it out.  Kurt Russell’s character sounds like Clint Eastwood.  He is doing this low, rough, rumbling voice.  It is starting to grate on my nerves.  I liked him better in that soldier movie he did where he was trained to be a soldier, and then when the new model came out he was “thrown” away.  He did not speak a lot in the movie, but he was more buff.  Definitely liked his hair better as a buzz than the should length thing he has as Snake.  I looked up Russell’s movie credits and the movie was funny enough called Soldier.

I found out snogging is kissing. 

I guess that’s about it, I am going back to work on my project.

  1. I just purchased these little individual containers of brown rice for the microwave. I’m always daunted by rice. I’m rice-impaired when it comes to cooking, and it takes too dang long!
