3 things I've learnt from living on my own

1. How to parallel park. 
         We have one parking place and three drivers with vehicles in our household. Thus needing two of us to parallel park on the street. Having only parallel parked once before moving to this place, I would say that yes, my street parking has greatly improved. However, my performance of said task does depend on the mood of my car, Stanely Sheldon. 
1. Yes my car's name is Stanely Sheldon, or SS Clarke for short.
2. And yes if Stanely Sheldon doesn't feel like parallel parking then it doesn't get done very well. 
But that being said I can almost, always, kinda parallel park. 
2. How to cook for one person. 
I grew up in a family of 8 so I have always been use to cooking for large amounts. When I moved to France and had to adjust my measurements for 5 people, I had a difficult time not making too much. However now, I cook for me, myself and I. One person. Uno. The first few weeks I had left overs galore! And even now sometimes I make way too much rice and pasta. 
3. How to master bubble and squeak.
Bubble and squeak is a family recipe that my mum has been making for years. It's not too complicated and I'm going to share with you how to make it. 
      Step 1: you look in your fridge and grab all the leftovers you have. Pasta. Rice. Potatoes. Veggies. Anything and everything works. 
       Step 2: grap a frying pan. 
       Step 3: (this is where it gets tricky) add all your leftovers together. And fry. 
       Optional step: add cheese and/or eggs to the mix.
