My Little Casserole Dish!

Anyone that knows me also knows I'm not really very domesticated, mostly when it comes to cooking :-)I did make efforts last year (a few times a week) to find some similar foods and cook some similar meals to those I would eat back home in Australia, but this year I seemed to have become more integrated in the Chinese lifestyle and I have been eating mostly Chinese food. I eat at the school food hall quite a lot because my meals are provided for free and as I have mentioned a few times before, the lifestyle here involves much eating out for breakfast, lunch and dinner so restaurant eating is very common and a normal part of life here.
Because of my Stomach cold last week, I decided I had better try and get into a bit of home cooking again, the biggest trouble is that I really don't enjoy cooking very much at all and of course the other trouble is finding the right ingredients.
I decided I wanted to make "Bread Pudding". Whilst I can get butter here, it tastes very unusual and I don't like it very much so I just used Bread, Sultanas, Milk (kind of:), Eggs and Sugar. I searched and searched for some kind of bowl that I would be able to use in my little oven. Because they don't cook with ovens here in China, It was a hard task. I finally found the perfect Casserole type dish that would withstand high temperature and I'm loving it!! My first bread puddings I had to make in some muffin cases that Mum sent over to me, but now the casserole dish makes the perfect bread pudding it even fits perfectly in my little oven.
My little casserole dish has inspired me to greater heights (with some inspirational ideas from my mum) LOOK a "Roast Pork Pot Roast" (kind of :-)Complete with crackling.It must have been tasty because Nettie didn't feel compelled to add from her trusty jar of Chinese "HOT Spicy Relish", which she must keep handy on my shelf for emergencies :-)
Who knows what will be next???
Any ideas gratefully accepted :-)
