I was a little doubtful when I saw a thread on 4chan's cooking board, /ck/, about five-minute microwave cakes. That's right, it's exactly what it sounds like: a "cake" that takes something like five minutes to bake and does so in the microwave. Well, I figured I ought to give it a shot before judging it too harshly, and so that's what I did.

No post, right? Well, my apartment is back to its usual three-person population, and classes have started. There's just been a good deal of stuff going on, honestly, so I've neglected this a bit ( Read more... )

Well, I completely lost track of these days! I had a house full of guests and wasn't too concerned with writing down what I was eating. Of course, I ended up eating a lot of junk over these days, too. Taquitos one night, a milk shake on another, etc. Blah, right? Oh well. Trying to get back on track!

I thought I'd start out by showing you guys what my kitchen looks like. Great idea, ( Read more... )

Breakfast: coffee (approx. 6 cups) with creamer and sweetener, two pieces of wheat toast with peanut butter, one fried egg over hard

Comments: Eating real breakfast today. I adore peanut butter, and I think over hard is my new favourite way to cook eggs. Going to make the other half of that chocolate chip cookie recipe later today. Hopefully I ( Read more... )

Sometimes when I'm cooking, I find that I get a little carried away adding things. It seems like I'm always determined to toss in a pinch of this herb or a splash of this sauce, because I find certain things too simple. I think this is a mindset I need to break myself of. Food doesn't have to be complicated to be tasty, and that was shoved in my ( Read more... )

Breakfast: coffee (approx. 6 cups) with creamer and sweetener

Comments: My roommate and his friend ended up coming back to the apartment around eleven o'clock last night and making dinner. True to their usual character, none of it was healthy. Some kind of frozen chicken fried rice from a bag with a side of Tyson honey-barbecue chicken strips. ( Read more... )
