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.

Alright, as promised, here is how to cook cheap, easy, AND healthy. More specifically I will teach you how to cook Ramen Noodles healthy.
Cook them like normal. Then, before they are done....

.... throw in some mixed vegetables.

I get a huge bag of them at Walmart for cheap! The Ramen noodle seasoning that is usually to strong gets diluted and flavors the vegetables!  Making this meal is about as easy as writing this blog post was. enjoy it!

cooking as a college student.

There are plenty of things that I wish I would've known about how to cook as a college student. I would like to share some of those things with ya'll.

You gotta use what you have. One time I had some meat (like a sausage or something,) some kraft singles, and some Ketchup. After that, you just need to have it spend some time in the microwave. This is what I made.

Looks good huh? It was. If I had, like, a taco shell or something, it would have been that much better.
If you want something cheap, easy, AND healthy, stay posted. I will teach you how.

front-pack

Are you ever late for class, but can't run because you're wearing a back pack and are afraid of looking like a fool? Do you ever want to hop in a car without taking off your backpack? Are you sick of having to reach under your desk to pull out a pen, notebook, or calculator from your backpack? Well, these problems are things of the past. Introducing the front-pack.

Now, back-pack manufacturers might try to keep back-packs cool by saying they're better for your back, or by calling them b-packs, but we all know nerds wear back-packs. Look at all the things you are now able to do with a front pack.

You can sit down without crushing your lunch!

Retrieve stuff with ease.

Run with style.
Don't get caught looking like a goon. You will if you run with a back-pack on.

Jared and I will sell you a front pack for $49.99. YOU NEED ONE!!!!!!!

I'm back, and will be for a bit

I've taken a blogging break. I was blogging a lot, and then none, and now I have a lot to blog about and a lot of pictures to show you-ins. I'm a binge blogger. I couldn't figure out how to get pictures from my camera to the computer, but now I have. In the next week or two you can expect:

• Innovative ideas
• Cheap and easy recipes
• Techniques for living cheap

For now, I will show you pictures.

  There wasn't enough water, and it was to cold, but it needed to happen.

Thanks for driving and taking pictures, Laura.

Furnished

I feel like ramblin' a bit. I just moved into a new apartment that had to be furnished. I was intimidated, because I didn't have any furniture and neither did any of the people that I would be living with. I came down to Cedar a week early to try to at least get a bed or something before the semester started. Furnishing the apartment was a total success. Here is what I got for free.

• King sized bed from freecycle.org
• Two couches
• 8 chairs and a table
• A desk
• A love sack

Impressive if I do say so myself. Most all the credit should go to Laura Correy, she made it all possible.

When Scott came down, his friend hooked us up and he furnished his room, and got a mattress pad from his friend for Jared to sleep on.

We now live in the party house. Every one loves to party at our house. We aren't desperate for people to come over, or to love us, everyone just does. "oh yeah, that place is the party house." Everyone just assumes it. No one needs to tell them. No one needs to say, "yeah, just go to Jared, Scott, and Erics place, it's the party house." Every one cool just knows it is. Cool Mexican people, black people, and cool people from England. They all know.

We will have dance parties, fiestas, Mexican parties, stir fry parties, game parties, sit down parties, sleep parties, study parties, and Birthday Parties!

Well, I'm done with ramblin. or in other words, finished. And I'm done putting furniture in my apartment, or in other words, furnished.

New Blog

I am starting another blog. It's about the Mad River Rocket Sled. To celebrate, here is a picture of Jared wiping out on one.

Yep, that's Jared!
