A while back I accidentally ordered a 5kg bag of sugar. The only time I use sugar is half a spoonful on my breakfast cereal, so this bag will literally last me years at that rate.
So, I'm looking for some suggestions for things I can use all this sugar for. I don't generally cook, so I'm not sure myself. Ideas?
Oh, Sugar

Get a razor blade, a straw and a mirror. Line the sugar up on the mirror and set the straw (cut short) and the razor blade next to the mirror. When a friend or family member comes home, offer them a line of the good stuff.
Make it into cubes and build a replica of the great pyramid.
Get a spray bottle and mist your face with water. Coat your face in a light dusting of sugar so that you sparkle. Go out and meet young girls and say you are a vampire.
Toss it in the bin if you don't cook because the last thing you want is to force yourself to eat 5kg of sugar...

wait... the glittering face thing is a brilliant idea! You could entice girls to lick you. Say, 'I'm so sweet, I taste of sugar, baby'. You said you worried about having reasons for approaching people. What better reason than to have strange girls lick you because they think you might be a vampire? And, the sugar doesn't all have to be on your face. You are welcome.I'm Murrin wrote:I get your point Ananda, but I'm not intending to just force myself to eat all of it quickly; I'm just looking for ideas to vary up what I'm eating by using it a little more than I would otherwise. I'm fine with the bag sitting in my cupboard for a long time, just not on the "4-5 years" scale.

You could put some in some of that tea you're always drinking 
I don't know what I would use it for. You might be able to use some of it in some homemade pancakes (I imagine there's some sugar, though not a whole lot).
But like Sorus said, if you got it stored properly it won't get worms.

Make some candied walnuts from time to time. Great on salads. Great snack. Don't burn the walnuts; don't burn the sugar.

Toffee is pretty easy to make, and it uses quite a bit of sugar. I'll see if I can find the recipe I used to use... It also makes a nice holiday gift if you put it in a tin or something.
Edit: This seems similar to what I used to make. I'm not a big recipe-follower. I remember mine sometimes had a shot of espresso in it, no reason you couldn't do that here if you like coffee/mocha toffee.

Murrin, if you're willing to learn how to bake, there are a lot of easy recipes people could share with you.
Out of curiosity, if you don't generally cook, how do you eat? Mostly eat out, or? We've talked a bit about the growing number of young people who can't/don't cook for themselves in another forum. Just curious how you got into that.

I usually use brown sugar when I make treacle toffee - which is also good, but won't help Murrin much since it almost always uses brown sugar.Menolly wrote:
That toffee is really similar to a Passover treat I make, only the recipe uses brown sugar instead of white sugar. However, I see no reason why this toffee also couldn't be made for Passover. I may just add this to my Passover repertoire.
I was sad to find that the one place in the city that sold bonfire toffee had closed; I will have to find a way to make my own next year.

I did quick meals sometimes when I was young. Mainly, though, it was things like a piece of tofu on bread with lettuce and stuff. I haven't been single or living on my own much in life, but when I was, I also found it a pain to do multiple dishes for a meal because you had to cook so much. It was impossible to cook just a little of this, a little of that and so. I ended up only cooking about 5 times a week then and mainly made single pot meals or rice and veggies type thing.I'm Murrin wrote:Frozen food. Throw in oven, wait 20 minutes, eat.
Mostly, though, I had some guy or friend that I cooked for and ate together with so that made it easier. Also, I always loved cooking and baking.
