Scones!

Dilemma: I'm back at Houghton after 'break', and hungry. I have no food made.

Abstract: I look through what I have, and decide to make blueberry scones (which will help out for the next few mornings, as well).

Battle plan: I put the ingredients in a bowl with water, mix well, and spread the olive oil on the cooking sheet. Then I drop 12 blobs of dough on the sheet, slide it into the oven, and leave to keep on unpacking.

Result: Not only did the whole floor smell good, I have 12 delicious scones.

Reflections: Coming back and making food was a wonderful idea. And my sinkmate appreciated it greatly, and told me things like 'you're wonderful' and 'that is one of the best things I have ever eaten', which are always nice to hear :p

Drawbacks: Dishes; 1 spatula, 1 mixing bowl, 1 measuring cup, 1 baking sheet, 1 spoon.

Positives: Food for the next few days, dorm now smells good, happy sinkmate.

Net Disaster = Zero

Note that we have already eaten some of them ;)

Mac & Cheese

Last night: hungry, wanted dinner, didn't have time to go get it from the cafeteria, must less cook.

Cocoa-Nut: "Oh, I'll make dinner for you"

Later ... eating warm macaroni and cheese

I cannot even begin to describe how much of a win that was!

Also, I have not been blogging here since I have not been cooking! The last few weeks have been utterly crazy and I also discovered that I am 'behind' on how many meals I have been eating in the cafeteria, and since I really don't feel like paying for all that and not using it, I've been eating up there more often. I have not forgotten I have this blog; it's just that part of the semester where life goes through the ceiling (or the floor, as the case may be)!

Evening the Equation

Well, I'm a college student. I cook my own food. And sometimes, that seems like an awful lot of work for the few mouthfuls of food I will consume in a matter of minutes. Worse still is the mountain of dishes so easily accumulated in the making of such food. So, this blog is a) my comic relief from everyday life, and b) examples for anyone else in a similar situation - cooking food with limited resources, selective varieties of food, insufficient funding, small kitchens, non-enjoyment of dishes by the tub, etc. Enjoy!
