I have a
vested interest in being able to cook. Cooking has been a hobby of mine since
I went off to college, although recently I haven’t been cooling as much. Eating out has been too tempting. I have had recipes published, such as my
recipe for Italian sausage and peppers in the The Book Club Cookbook: Recipes and Food for Thought from
Your Book Club's Favorite Books and Authors. Present
Day Cooking I enjoy
cooking Chinese, especially Szechwan and Hunan styles. I like grilled Mexican and Southwestern
cooking. I’ve tried some Cajun, like Paul Prudhomme’s and Emeril’s cookbooks.
And I throw in an occasional traditional French recipe from my LaRousse Gastronomique. My last
dinner party was for the book club, the theme was Italian, and the menu was: Fresh
mozzarella and sliced beefsteak tomatoes with fresh basil, balsamic vinegar
and olive oil Grilled
chicken and wild mushroom risotto Grilled
baby carrots, baby eggplant, and baby zucchini Home-made
ice cream in three flavors, pistachio, vanilla, and boysenberry college dietary staples French
bread pizza – take half a loaf of French bread, slice in half lengthwise,
and toast it in the oven (this makes the crust crispy). Add Ragu Pizza Quick sauce, shredded
mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings (mine are ham, onion, pineapple
and jalapenos) with a little Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic
salt. Bake until the cheese is
melted. Cheap, quick, and good. Tuna Helper
– Keeps forever, you can stash it away and when you feel like a hot meal, you
don’t have to go to the grocery store.
Hamburger Helper was better but then you had to have fresh hamburger,
or thaw frozen. Ramen Noodles – My favorites
were the Chile flavor and the Shrimp flavor, and instead of making soup, you
dump all the water after the noodles are cooked, and add the flavoring
packets (ingredients: salt, MSG) directly to the noodles. This is the ultimate college food, although
my ex-roommate’s Dad bought him a case (I think around 20 packets) of Ramen
just in case Y2K was serious, Chicken flavor.
I’m still eating them. Quick
and nothing is cheaper. Spaghetti – any kind of
pasta, any kind of sauce in a jar, add browned hamburger or Italian sausage. Taco Bell – the best. If you only had spare change, you could
still eat at the Bell. Last updated 4/5/05 |
