General Q & A #16

What are some breakfast recipes that don't include milk? I have limited knowledge / talent in cooking so nothing too complex, please

Scrambled eggs: spray a small to medium frying pan with non-stick spray. Crack 2-4 eggs into the pan and give them a swirl with your spatula. Make sure your burner is on low-medium (on an electric stove, no higher than 5). Stir periodically until fluffy an cooked through. I like to stir in cheese and lunch meat, then put on a flour tortilla with sour cream and sometimes rice =.

@ swell
Yoghurt w/ fruits (frozen raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, oats, etc)
Toast w/ butter and jam (this is basically my go to hAHAHA), or with ham, or an avocado
— OR flatten a square inside your toast, crack an egg on it, and then flip
Pancake mix (just add water)
Certain cereals bc personally I think Froot Loops (sp?) taste gross with milk
Breakfast bars
Cheap pain au chocolat things (idk if they have them at Woolies / Coles / Aldi??? wherever you shop) also v yum if u pop them in the oven real quick
Banana slices w/ peanut butter in a wrap
Croissants, cut in half, put some ham n cheese and chuck 'em in the oven for like 3 minutes / until the cheese melts
Eggs, sunny side up, boiled, scrambled

@ swell
Avo on toast.
PB&J on toast.
Anything on toast!
But on a serious notes, there's lots!

P.S: You can always search for vegan breakfast ideas too!

@swell

You can use milk subs in pancakes. I like rice milk for that stuff, it's similar to skim milk. But most of the your milk subs work in place of milk/water in recipes

How much money would I need to save to go on a decent holiday for a week? I was thinking New Zealand, and airfares would be roughly $400 - $600.

@ lonely girl.
It all depends on what you plan on doing, and your accommodation. In order to save money whilst traveling, you have to plan it really well before. Pick the place where you'd like to stay and research hostels, preferably near the places you'd like to visit so this way, transportation costs are minimised. Compare prices and check their facilities to ensure they have everything you'd like. Then you have to figure out what you want to do and if there are tours or places you'd like to visit. Also gather the price for those. In terms of food, the hostel should offer at least breakfast, so you go down to two meals a day. I often just guess how much money I'd need for food and whilst traveling, I make sure I never eat somewhere that may compromise my food budget. Best of luck! xx

My messages show one alert but there are no new messages. Does anybody know why it does this and how I can fix it?

@ lily hughes.
Check the last page of your messages. If there's one that's unopened there, open it (it'll be blank) but it should remove the alert.

@ Mr. Darcy
Ahh, thank you v much!

Does anybody have tips on how to make your hair grow faster? Biggest regret of my life: a third haircut :(

@ lily hughes.

I've been told prenatal vitamins are said to grow hair like lightening. If you're concerned about parents, put them in a regular vitamin jar after purchase =)

@ Aightball

Ahh, I don't think that'll work for me because I'm currently on antibiotics + probiotics so I can't extend my medicine intake :( But thank you for the suggestion!

Hey, this is a little bit urgent, but I'm hoping to find someone who plays piano. I have some sheet music that I found online for an upcoming audition, and I just need to be certain that it's in the right key. I don't have access to a computer, so I apologize that I can't attach images of the sheet music, but I have links to the websites that have them.

song one
song two (i think you have to sign up for an acc on this site, so sorry)

If anyone could please just make an audio recording of each (i only need the first few measures to know if it's the right key, maybe 10 bars or so) then I would be VERY VERY VERY thankful. My audition is on the 14th, so it's soon!!

@ lily hughes.
Take super good care of your hair, really. Avoid using heat, don't shampoo / wash it every single day, don't get regular trims to get rid of split ends (instead try and avoid them by taking good care of your hair). If you want to use heat on it, use a heat protector on your hair first (such as argon oil). Make sure you brush it and such.
Here's a handful of sites I found that have lists and tips. x x x
They all seem to overlap a little and some are doozies, but you know. Whatever works.

@ lonely girl.
Ahh, thanks so much love! I appreciate it!

Would someone be willing to look over my personal statement for UCAS and spot out any errors/check how well it flows? It's really important and I want to be able to send it either tonight or tomorrow.

@ Mr. Darcy
I could

Are jobs considered extra-curricular activities? I'm filling out a bursary application and part of the application says to write down "service clubs, youth groups, church, school, civic, performing arts, athletics, extra-curricular activities, and volunteerism", but I work too much to volunteer/be involved with other things so I have no idea what to put

@ losing control.

I don't believe jobs count, no. Have you done anything like community service? Done something extra off the clock at work?
