cooking for valentines..

Dark88 · 11 Feb 2009 at 18:28

So being the smart student I am I decide to leave it until Monday to try and book a table for Saturday. Is there any where left in the whole of oxford? Um nope...

Cue the panic about having to cook instead with only the bare student cooking essentials (a few pots for pasta)!!

thankfully, M&S to the rescue! just thought I'd highlight this to anyone in a similar position.

starter,main, side, dessert, wine and a rose for £20. get in!

I've already told you that instant noodles will do the trick

Or.. actually make something yourself?

Cooking for your loved one > buying them a meal.

Not that buying stuff from M&S and slinging it in the oven really counts as cooking.

It depends really. What if (like me) you cook for your loved one most days of the week?

Although I will be cooking again Saturday as I've left it too late.

If I was at home I probs would but uni kitchen (a tiny baby belling and a microwave) and complete lack of cooking utensils kind of puts a downer on that!

Does no-one know how to get hold of a cookbook and make something? If anyones planning on actually doing a steak off that menu, then go to a local butchers instead of M&S.

Honestly, soemthing like a lasagne with garlic breaad is not hard to do, it can be time consuming, but its certainly not difficult.

forget the food, just get more wine and get her smashed
