pedantherSitting here eating what is, to the best of my recollection, the first meal I ever cooked all by myself, not counting simple stuff like toasted sandwiches. (Whether it's a true first or not, it's significant that I had to postpone the attempt for a couple of days when I realised that I didn't own half the equipment called for in the instructions. Including a proper-sized saucepan.) Like so many things one puts off doing for a long time, it was much more easy and painless than I had vaguely expected.

Honesty requires me to admit that the meal came out of one of those packets where most of the work has been done for you already. But I still think it counts - if only because I spent too long re-reading Step Two, and it caught on the bottom of the pan. Burnt bits automatically make a meal more authentic, right?
