Do crushed pav with bosenberrys and cream, Main, do gourmet potato's tossed in rock salt, parsley and butter, do beans with a burnt butter, whole tomatos/whole mushrooms and steakor chops . I Was without a kitchen for 3 weeks and got caught out with visitors a couple of times to, this is what I served them.

A nice quick stir fry, brown the meat in a frypan on the element and heat up the veges (packets of stir fry veges are ok) add a sauce and re heat in microwave.Brandy baskets with icecream, fruit etc.

ooooooh love the pav idea sounds quick and easy. was thinking could do boiled potatoes mixed with sourcream and chunky pesto (i normally stir this through pasta) but the beans in burnt butter sounds yuumm.
Stirfry is a bit too common in their household of 6 adults so they dont get many treats if you get what i mean. Being fathers day this weekend i thought it would be very appropriate to do something nice :)

You only cook pasta on a stove! You can cut up potato into chunks and fry it - like roast potatoes but stove top. You can do steak, pot roasts, casseroles in dutch ovens, stirfry veges (even if not an asian recipe), schnitzels, whatever.
