man, I am loathe to share this because it is my ultimate secret
but here we go
Bob's Traditional Family Rice Recipe Two whole portions!
Ingredients:
One knob (teehee) of butter
One bag of Basmati (preferably) rice
One vegetable (or chicken, but vegetable is better) stock cube
A little salt
Some cumin seeds
One small cup (technically not an ingredient, should not be eaten)
The method:
First of all, grab a large bowl. Put the knob of butter inside and put it in the microwave for 40 seconds (or until melted). While you're doing this, begin to boil a pint or so of water (using a kettle is fine).
When the butter is melted, add the rice to the bowl. You should find the right quantity by filling the small cup up to half an inch below the rim with rice. You want to use two of these nearly-full cups worth of rice. When all the rice is added, mix it in with the butter until all the rice is evenly coated. Put it back in the microwave on full power for about a minute and a half.
Your water should now be boiled. Add half of a vegetable stock cube and a teaspoon or so of salt to 3/4 of a pint of boiling water. When the rice finishes in the microwave, add the stock. Ensure the rice is fairly evenly distributed in the bowl, then evenly sprinkle a teaspoon of cumin seeds over the rice/stock mixture. Cover the bowl over with a plate or somesuch, and microwave it on full power for seven minutes (on an 850W microwave. You may want to adjust to suit yours).
Let the microwaved rice stand for around fifteen to twenty minutes (this stage doesn't have to be terribly precise). After letting it stand, remove the cover and use a fork to 'fluff up' all the rice, ensuring it's all well separated. Pay particular attention to the edges of the bowl where there is an increased risk of the grains 'lumping' together.
Serve and orgasm.
(note: people have tried many times, and failed just as many, to make single portions using this recipe. It simply doesn't work: the rice tends to be a lot less fluffy and can clump together to the point of inedibility. Try to keep it at 2 portions or more)
it's just... god, how do you describe it. it's not really a defined quantity in any way, just take a knife and cut off a corner of your stick of butter.
h2g2 gives us this answer: "A knob of butter is defined as an isosceles right-angled tetrahedron whose adjacent is equal to half the height of the block of butter."

It puzzles me how only the English, Australians and people in heaven eat meat pies.

No, man. I've never heard that, ever. I've only heard "stick" or "cube" or "pat". "Tablespoon" when one is actually talking about baking, since the wrappers on sticks of butter have tablespoons sectioned off on them.
A girl I went to school with thought "England" was just another name for London.
As in... the entire country was London. She was unaware that there was more to England then just the city of London. She was also under the impression Denmark was an island.

Cooking is awesome.
This is cold hard fact.
I made home made herb breaded chicken nuggets last night, and they were delicious.
I will gut you.
And then serve you in a pie.
fuck
why can't I be perfect
like a vulcan
At least I'd taste better than whatever parts of the sheep you usually stuff in there.

It was good, but goddamn I should probably start cooking meals where the main ingredient isn't fat.
do you seriously not have that phrase in america?

You are all missing out.

Let me take a guess...
"have 2 gingerbread 2"
...yeah, that's all I can think of.
Two H's and two G's.

it puzzles me how everytime I attempt to eat a god-forsaken meat-pie it is either:
-toxic and provides me endless hours of bathroom fun
-or god-awful and I can't even finish it.
Wont a normal grill have that same effect? I mean, it's not like the fat is collected.
It just runs down and ignites.
Come to England.
Chicken pot pie.
Chicken is meat.
It is in a pie.
No the george fornby grill makes it good for you
it's a lean mean fat killing machine
Who's George Fornby?
Is he the English version of George Foreman?
can I crash at your place?
Could you tell me of its other qualities? Does it come with a warranty or support plan?
Once me and the girl have moved in to our new place, yes.

An island "North of Russia or something"
bitch is a doctor now
I once had a friend of mine tell me that Iowa was in the Deep South, "Somewhere south of Georgia or over by Texas somewhere."
People
Suck.
I one asked my social studies teacher why we never learned where other countries really were.
"Why should we?"
Because I'd like to know, might be cool to know where everything is...
"Most of them aren't even real countries, I mean, look at Germany, wherever that is."
At first I thought he was joking. He was not. This was my freshman year teacher.
