cooking as a college student 3

I think a great way to eat healthy and cheap is to order "Bountiful Baskets." You pay about $15 and get a ton of fruits and vegetables. It's always a surprise what you will get, but it's great and it's always a variety. I don't always know what to do with some of the stuff, like squashes or this last week, Jerusalem Artichokes, so I fry those weird things up like you would french fries. It all started when I brought and bag of potatoes from home, the same weekend that Jared brought a bag of potatoes from home, and the weekend after, we got a bag of potatoes from Bountiful Baskets. We needed to get through them, so we fried them up and ate them with ketchup. It was fun enough that we tried other things, like: celery, squash, apples, onions, tootsie rolls or whatever. It's way easy. 

So good. I loved it. I was frying all the time! Until recently I covered some Oreos in corn bread batter and fried them. They were tasty, but I ate enough that I threw up. I have no desire for grease, oil, or sugar. I don't know if I will for a while.

  1. So did you find a way to make those Jerusalem Artichokes taste good?

    And did you get those weird yellow fruit last week? What in the world are those?
