Food in My Bowl

New Dorm

So I just moved in yesterday into my new room and it’s pretty cozy at the moment. The fridge is finally in place, after four of us worked together to move it over. (Thanks, guys, I love you. :’) My muscles are still sore from all the lifting.

The kitchen is beautiful. I LOVE IT. It makes me want to cook every day, which must be a good thing.

My friends and I went grocery shopping yesterday and I bought some peppers and broccoli, onions, oranges, pasta, eggs, and milk. They had nice-looking bagels so I got some of those too, and a container of yummy hummus, which I had for breakfast.

That’s a cara cara orange, even though it’s pink inside. They are amazing. The hummus was pretty good too, but the bagel was too rubbery. Conclusion: New York bagels > Massachusetts bagels.

So far so good, except that I woke up too late to eat breakfast on time. Pasta for lunch. Not sure what’s for dinner yet, but I think the plan is that we will rotate being chefs. I hear someone is making chicken tonight.

Note to self: Get a real plate.

The Beginning

So I’ve never actually cooked successfully on my own before (except pre-made frozen dumplings and pasta), but I have made a list of foods that I could eat for each meal. Here they are:

Breakfast:
- omelets
- bacon, egg, and cheese muffin
- bagel/bread with hummus
- milk or orange juice
- fruits

Lunch:
- rice balls
- sushi
- sandwiches
- pasta
- dumplings

Dinner:
- noodle soup with fishballs
- random Chinese veggies
- spinach
- cucumber soup with eggs

Some ingredients: garlic, cheese, dried baby shrimp, onions, peppers, MSG from ramen packages. And of course, what every Chinese cook needs is oyster sauce. I decided to go with this special vegetarian mushroom kind for just $2.17. According to my mom, it’s supposed to make everything taste good.

That’s all for now. Merry Christmas Eve!

Hello world!
