So it is Freshers time again - depending on your university. My daughter is returning to university this weekend in time to get settled in her new house before Freshers Week starts. Although not a Fresher she will be helping out during the week. Is this a good idea? Poor confused Freshers will be totally lost by the time they have heard her ranting for any length of time, and rant she will. The university are not allowing registration until October 4 which means that her student loan will not arrive until around October 7 - rant, rant, rant.
We visited her house on Monday. She was understandably excited about the prospect of having her own house, and the excitement wasn't dented too much by the state it was in. Sadly it hadn't been cleaned very well - she was particularly revulsed by the sight of a used cotton bud on the floor of one of the bedrooms. I cleaned the kitchen and all the existing (and disgusting) kitchen utensils were relegated to the cupboard under the stairs. Although the kitchen of the house is significantly smaller than the one in the university flat, at least she got the choice of who she shares it with. Once we finish cleaning the house I am sure the three girls will enjoy living and cooking there. All the kitchen equipment went over with us on Monday so it is already installed.
I hope these recipes will be of help to the new cohort of students - enjoy cooking and eating them and feel free to pass on the links.
