Having scanned some of the other threads here I'm amazed how people have the time/energy/inclination to cook.
My working day means I eat breakfast about 6.30, grab something (couple of cookies) late morning then have 'lunch' as soon as possible after getting into my house about 3.20 usually feeling like I just have to eat something NOW.
I can almost never be bothered to cook, and often end up filling up on a sandwich and then not needing to eat anything else in the evening.
Apart from the problem of my daily schedule I have a very limited range of fresh ingredients available. No meat/milk/cheese (except powdered milk and nasty 'white' cheese). The fruit and vegetables in the village always look like they should have been eaten 3 weeks ago. Having said that, I can almost always buy green peppers, courgettes, onions and aubergines (albeit of dubious quality) but there's only so many times you can eat vegetable stir fries. It's an hour to the nearest decent supermarket and I only have electricity half the time so freezing isn't really an option.
Any suggestions (apart from omelettes) for quick meals that can be made from limited ingredients?
