As junior year goes by, I struggled to cook. Thanks to my loving mother, she made me the meats, the protein, for my meals and I would put them in the freezer. Besides my mother's frozen foods, I would eat more frozen goods from grocery stores such as Trader Joe's vegetables and fried rice. Over time as I got used to living off campus, I would buy my own apples and frozen vegetables from Smart and Final next door.
Out of the meals I cooked myself, besides packed noodles, over the stove, I made three meals on my own with some help of course. Once was when I made pasta after going to Sharetea with my roommates. I had a pack of Annie's macaroni and cheese, white cheddar flavored. I boiled the pasta, drained the water, and placed the pasta back into the pot with the cheddar and frozen vegetables. Voila! First meal I cooked on my own.
Second time I cooked on my own, I was feeling under the weather. I went to Smart and Final and bought tomatoes and red onions. I brought them back to the apartment, washed and sliced the tomatoes and red onions, tossed them in a pot of water, and boiled it for a while. Then I placed the meatballs that my mom made into the pot to add some protein. After that, I poured some of it into a bowl with rice in it to make rice soup. Meal two! Vitamin C Soup! I was pretty proud of myself for this one. I felt sick and tired, so to make soup was the best choice. I had rice soup for at least two days. Felt so much better after.
Third time, I boiled Annie's macaroni in a pot of water. Then I poured the macaroni into a drainer, tossed Wolfgang Puck Organic Free Range Chicken and Dumplings Canned Soup into the pot with some Trader Joe's frozen vegetables. After that, I poured the cooked macaroni back into the pot and voila! Meal three! I was feeling a little sick from the changing weather and wanted some soup.
I can't say I am a chef, but I can definitely say "Oh yeah, I can make pasta... and pasta" just like Hallie and Annie's father, Nick Parker in Parent Trap. Ready to make more pasta in the future!
