The best item to make with milk appears to be spikey tart. You need 50 frost crystal, 50 milk, and 50 cactus flesh to make 50 spikey tart. This item requires 3 food processors. Place 50 frost crystal in the first processor, place 50 milk in the second processor, and place 50 cactus flesh in the third processor. Now just follow the second flow chart.

On a side note: If anyone has found true Diplos that give Giant eggs and Diplo Chunks please post the Portal address. I have found multiple quasi Diplos that give Creature eggs and Meaty Chunks, but not the true Diplos. The search continues!

Even a C grade deposit can generate 9999 pyrite in 24 hours if you put enough extractor on the prime spot and the surrounding area. You can stack extractors on top of each other using the camera view during build mode. You should only need 5 or 6 extractors unless you are trying to do this lazy and fast. Then you just build the amount of storage depots that match the amount you want to collect per process. Build one of each resource mined near your base for easy collection.

Place a few teleporters as far apart as the base computer will let you in various directions from your farm center. Set up automated feeders and collectors at each teleporter. Now you can collect the amount of milk you need without doing it manually.

I think it could be possible to set up 4-5 bases in different biomes within one system and automate everything you need. Then you can portal between bases collecting your ingredients, and placing them in storage to be refined at the final stop.

Last year while I was away on a trip, my husband, in order to survive weeks of living a bachelor's life again bought an Instant Pot, an all-in-one device that functions as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker/porridge maker, saut/browning pan, steamer, yogurt maker and stockpot warmer. He ate very well. He did not miss my cooking.

Needless to say, when I came back from my trip, my ego was slightly bruised. I was highly skeptical of this multi-purpose cooker. Well, how good can food taste when all the ingredients are dumped into one pot and all you need to do is to press a button? Doesn't it take away the joy of cooking? The stirrings? The aromas? The sizzling sounds?

Months later, I am now making steel cut oatmeal, brown rice, lentils, one-pot lentils and rice mixes, beef stews, sweet potato and chickpea curries, all with the press of a button! We have become Instant Pot addicts! In fact my husband and I are so convinced that everyone should own an Instant Pot, we are buying it as a standard birthday or Christmas gift for all our friends and family members.

I love how I don't need to soak the black beans overnight. I love how I can walk away from the kitchen and not have to constantly stir or worry about anything burning. I love how the brown rice always comes out perfectly. I love how fast the food cooks.

In my experience, it takes about 10 minutes to reach high pressure with cold water from the tap, and an additional 6 minutes to finish cooking. In the meantime, you can fill a big mixing bowl with water and ice cubes.

I store peeled and unpeeled hard cooked eggs in the fridge in a sealed airtight container for up to a week. If you have leftover Lazy Devils, I would store them in a sealed airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days or so.

This trend has got to change. I want cooking and eating to be fun again, and I want Lucy to get exposure to foods other than frozen peas and grilled cheese sandwiches. To achieve all this, I know I have to:

However, if we can make ONE single decision at the start of the week to prepare food in a big batch, it eliminates every food decision we need to make the rest of the week. Not only that, but it makes the fast option the healthy option.

Portion out your food into separate containers for grab-n-go lunches. This is how Staci, our head female coach, does batch cooking like this each week. Portion your food out into Tupperware to bring with you to work.

Who and where was Lazy Daisy Cake created?
So there really is not one person to point at to say that THIS person was the origin. Depending on a difference in one main ingredient will give you an idea of the age of your recipe which could either be in the early part of the 20th century or the 1950s. The earliest printing of the recipe is suggested to be 1914 but it was supposedly when Snowdrift shortening printed the recipe in a 1920s newspaper ad that it became part of many recipe boxes. In 1950, Quaker Oats created their own recipe to include in advertisements. The word lazy is in the title because it was considered an easy and quick cake.

What ingredients are in Lazy Daisy Cake?
As I said above that the two recipes are very similar. Both recipes are cakes baked in a 9-inch square pan. The older of the recipes was a yellow cake while the Quakers Oats recipe not surprisingly includes rolled oats. The Quaker Oats recipe also includes cinnamon and nutmeg and does not include scalding the milk. But both are covered with a topping made with brown sugar and coconut which is browned under the broiler.

How do you make Lazy Daisy Cake?
I kept flip-flopping over which version I was going to do. Ultimately I decided to do the yellow cake version as I was amazed at how little that recipe has changed from the 1930s. Usually, I find some crazy substitutions or wildly differing proportions when I start comparing recipes submitted to newspapers or community cookbooks. So I knew I had to try this recipe that has remained relatively untouched. Though for you all seeking or interested in the Quaker Oats recipe, I have left the recipe from the ad underneath. Also, let me know if this was a favorite recipe in your family and which version it was!

All that untended oven time leaves plenty of spare minutes to make a simple Middle Eastern-based sauce called tarator to go with it. I whisk together equal parts tahini and lemon juice, then go rogue by seasoning it with umami juggernauts soy sauce, ground cumin and grated garlic. A pinch of chile flakes and lots of lemon zest add potency and zing.

Once the cauliflower comes out of the oven, I drench the whole head in the sauce, which melds with the charred edges of the crucifer for an intense, flavorful shell that contrasts against the creamy white stalks underneath. A sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds and chopped parsley dresses it up, which, even for lazy cooks, is worth the effort.

Now pour it all back into the saute pan or frying pan in which you cooked the onion. A wide flat pan is best, because you want to have some of the liquid cook away rapidly, without overcooking the tomato. Bring it to a boil, and stir.

"Misery loves company" - I am always surprised by the fact that when someone is miserable and starts complaining about something that there is always others there to join the bandwagon. In the same light that week when you don't feel like cooking and planning your meals then you can team up with a friend to do meals over a 2-3 day period. You can do the main course like chicken, beef, tofu, lentils or steak and your friend can do the side dishes like rice, salad, potatoes and/or vegetables. Suddenly, the burden to cook now turns into a group effort and it is not so difficult after all. If there are leftovers you can freeze it and use it within a month.

Depending on your favourite or luxurious dish to eat you may feel motivated to cook it when the main ingredient is on special offer at your local supermarket. For example I love aubergines and I get most motivated to cook it when the price drops to 49 cents each. Two of my favourite aubergines dishes are eggplant caponata and Mediterranean roasted vegetables. One of my other favourites would be broccoli and the price can also drop to 39 cent or 49 cent for a head of broccoli. Divine! Make a large batch place it in two separate containers and freeze one of the containers. Use one container this week and the other in 2 weeks time.

In Ireland people socialise a lot especially where food and drink is involved. A clever way to get out of cooking is by starting or attending a weekly or monthly potluck. As with many potlucks there is always food left over which can be a good thing depending on what was left over. For example this past weekend we had a going away luncheon for a friend of 8 years and as you can imagine there was a lot of food on the menu from all parts of the world and even after people came a 2nd and 3rd time for more there was a lot of leftover food. Here is where you can do your bit for the environment and walk with your containers to take some of the food and either freeze it or refrigerate it for the next day or few days bearing in mind that food items can only have a short fridge life so avoid food poisoning as much as possible.

One clever idea would be to buy the main course at a restaurant or in a supermarket like Marks & Spencer as they offer some interesting meal deals for two that you can eat over 2 days if you are single or for one night if there are two people to feed. The cool thing about some of these offers is that you can customise it for to your liking by making a side salad, baking some wedges, roasting some vegetables and/or preparing a desert that will transform this shop bought main course into a full blown 3 course extravaganza.

There are some restaurants here in Dublin as well as overseas that serve very large portions for one person. It would be a good idea to seek them out and instead of throwing away the excess take home a doggy bag or box so that you can use it for tomorrow's lunch. I think it is important at this point to get recommendations from friends and family as some restaurants may not cook the food from fresh which means that the leftover food may not be good to eat the next day. Of course items like French fries, garlic bread and some salads may not be edible the next day. The only word of caution would be eggs (scrambled, fried, etc.) are not to be trusted. Egg fry rice and similar dishes should be fine.
