Answer 1

Zucchini Antipasto

1.5 kg zucchini
6 pickling onions
6 fresh sweet basil leaves
6 cloves of garlic
12 tufts of fresh rosmary removed from sprig
2 tablespoon salt
3 cups olive oil
3 cups white wine vinegar
Wash and cut the zucchini into 5cm rounds, then cut lenghtwise into quarters, you should end up with long triangular sticks.
Either crush the garlic or chop finely.
At this point add all the ingredients into pot and bring to the boil, stirring once in a while.
Once it starts boiling, let it boil for exactly 5 minutes and then remove from heat.
Pack the zucchini into jars and distribute the onions evenly between the jars.
Pour over the hot juices (with the herbs) and then apply the lids.
Leave the jars to cool and they can be consumed after about 2 weeks.
It stores up to about 6 months.

Answer 3

Recipe:
1. Cook enough rice.
2. In a frying pan, put oil, then put diced carrots. When it has softened, add some onions. Then add green peas. Add the corn.
3. Get the rice, and top with the carrots, onions, green peas. Add grated cheese for a bit of taste.
4. Get a tomato (or two) and chop it into little bits.
5. Get a few lettuce/cabbage leaves and cut it until it's very small.
6. Get three small containers (preferably china) and put the bits of tomato in one, lettuces/cabbages in another and salt in the last one. When you serve your rice put these containers beside them.

How about the drinks? I have a suggestion:
1. Mix green tea.
2. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
3. Add ice cubes.
4. Serve.
