PM's of St Andrews

This is a generic takeaway outlet on Market Street - you can see the contact details on the brochure. I have come across this takeaway twice during my first weeks at uni. The first experience I had wasn't a very good one. I ordered a pizza, and it was not very good at all. To say the least. However, today, while powerwalking home from my 1pm class, I did feel the need for a chip butty. After handing over my £1 coin, I was presented with a medium sized white breadbun stuffed full of chunky chips. Condiments were put all on the same chip, as is customary for chip shops. I'm not sure whether it was my hunger or the quality of the chips (which were perfect, no scraggly or burnt ones), but it was the nicest chip butty I've had for a long time.

University

Well, having been engrossed in settling into university life in St. Andrews, I haven't posted on here much recently. Tonight, me and some of my new-found friends are going to embark on a whole new food journey - cooking for ourselves. Up till now we've been eating Hall food and relying on takeaways for the weekend evenings, but now we're trying it for ourselves.

After trekking to the local Tesco, we got ourselves a huge sack of rice, and one of pasta shells (economy brand, of course). We plan to make a stir fry tonight, with onions, peppers and mushrooms, and of course some own-brand sweet and sour sauce.

Tomorrow, tomato and basil pasta, along with any of the left over veggies from today.

Should be fun. I'll keep you posted.
