I am learning to cook, because I now live in the apartments, yay!!! no more suffering from dorm foods. I liked it when i first went to college, because it was buffet style, but now i like to eat whatever i want to. That is to say, I am eating healthier than I am in the dorms, with less cholesterol and stuff like that. But, I don't put much sauce on my foods, because i only have barbeque rib sauce and soy sauce. I am too lazy to buy more sauces, and I  don't want to experiment, and end up with nasty foods. Here on campus, meijers or food for less are the cheapest places to buy groceries. I even learned to scramble eggs, yes, im not trying to be funny, it is my first time frying eggs. I was spoiled back at home, because there was always food on the table. I try to make the rice tasty by adding combinations of meat to it, and I try to eat more vegetables. What i stop eating more of is fruit. I have less time to peel the skin off of fruits and things like that, and why bother buying fruit when i dont finish eating a bag of it in time? So, i am enjoying this learning to cook process~

Our apartments are kind enough to have a series called 'simple meals,' where people from around campus come and teach a simple meal to anyone who wants to learn. Unfortunately, the days they have it keep conflicting with my schedule, but I'm going to try to make it this semester....

I remember "helping" to cook before I could read, and by the time I was a teenager I was cooking complete meals with little or no help on a regular basis, so I have a hard time relating to the fact that people can get to college and not know how to cook. Do you think it ever occured to your parents that you would need to know how to cook at some point? Do you wish someone had taught you to cook when you were younger, or are you enjoying learning on your own? I think it's great that you're learning to cook, and that you can eat more healthy foods. Don't be too afraid to experiment and make new things, cause that can be the best part of cooking!

Crock pots are the greatest cooking discovery.
