This journal is pretty much Friends Only. I'm not all that keen on adding back hundreds of people, but if we have lots of friends in common, or you know me from elsewhere, I might.

So, for the next few weeks I am cooking for one. And I can't cook. So I mainly live on Lean Cuisine's and the like. Which is OK, but there's never enough food in 'em. I'd like to quickly cook some veges or throw together a simple salad to go along with the frozen meals, but here's my dilemma. I err, can't cook veges or salads ;)

Roasts, souffles, cakes, bread etc I'm fine, but veges and salads always come out boring or limp or both.

Suggestions for easy and relatively healthy things I can do in under 10 minutes? I can't have red wine at all, and garlic has to be minimal - I'd be so disowned if my family were Italian ;)
