I'm too lazy to cook Koshary - it involves far too many pans with rice, lentils, pasta, sauce and fried onions.

Far easier (and tastier!) to pop down to the shop!

I know, it's such a lot of pans on the go, but when you don't have the option of popping out and getting a pot it's worth it Goddess :D :P :P
