Chapter 5: Sushi hamburgers...
... turned out being a semi fail.
Burgers with watever goodness you want in them (we added salsa, chili sauce, and crushed up crackers.) grill them up in a skillet then the recipe from 1001 recipes says to boil them in chicken broth...
...I don't know how this is supposed to make them better. Sure, broth is salty but burgers are fatty. A wise man told me there are two things that make food TASTE GOOD: salt and fat. To boil in water and chicken broth is to lose the fat. We tested three guinea pig burgers and they burgers tasted like communion host (cardboard). The burgers without boiling beforehard were Deeee-lishious!
Now we tried the rice to make the sushi-like burgers...yeah, it could've been the fact that the rice wasn't sticky enough or because the pan was so full of burger grease and burger residue chucks the rice just didn't cook to the burger fabulously. It was still alright, but stickier rice and fried in oil are definitely what I would do next time. We still have a bunch of burgers to make a party in my taste buds, akuna matata!
Look at how open Greg is when the cameras off (how cuute!) lol

Chapter 4: Chicken Skillet IKKY IKKY reMIX!
Chapter 4: Chicken Skillet IKKY IKKY reMIX!
This became amazing...
Boiled Chicken, veggies, water, mayonnaise, onions, oil, cheese.
Throw everything but the 2/3 cup of mayonnaise in a skillet (boil the chicken and sautee the onions beforehand if you choose) and cover to steam (cooks veggies and rewarms everything else.) Let that go until the veggies are cooked enough, throw in mayonnaise, stir in, take of burner, and serve over a carbohydrate (like rice/bread/noodles, watev).
I don't lie. Epic deliciousness. And I don't lie.
"And, that's what's happenin!"

Chapter 3: Open-faced Quesadillas! freakin D-lish...
The beauty of these is the open-facedness! Our preferences...
bunch of cheese, eggplant, onions, tofu, peppers, but creativeness is peer-pressured...do it.
Why these are better than regular quesadillas is both are cooked in a skillet BUT after buttering and cooking the tortilla side, flip it over and it almost turns into a sautee of the other side. The oil/fat from the cheese and the butter from the tortilla side sautees the other ingredients. The result = AMAZINGNESS (w00t).
Disclaimer: If you don't put the cheese FIRST on the tortilla this will fail. Do that. No peer-pressure. Just do it.
terek and derry <3 lol

Intro: And 2 plus 2 equals blog!
Intro: Whaaat's the deal with this?....aaaaaaand SUMMER!
So what is this??? This is a blossoming story about how, as a rising junior in college chillin over the summer, I go from not cooking at all to cooking a meal every night...with the recipes and breaks from such recipes...the "amaaazing" to the "ohh eff freakin gross" to the "whaaat the eff iss this??????". Hear about updates on my story by following on twitter. Expect the recipe and video about the meal I made with every post and you follow me through...well I have no idea what's going to happen with this food. But I've gotta eat. Let's do thiiis!! (Lerooy Jenkins!)
A rising Junior at Loyola U in Maryland (Accounting Major, IS Minor) from Syracuse, NY living someplace other than home for the first summer.Nbd, I'm ready to rock!
What is a big deal is PAYING FOR FOOD! I have been fortunate enough to have a pops who can support my housing (and the grades to allow my rents to loan me a car for the summer). Personal Finances is not a particularly pressing issue...but I like money a little so I'll look to save it (and I am studying abroad in Beijing in the fall, so I need to keep a few bucks around...)
The cost of food on campus here is abso-freakin-lutely ridiculous! Were talking conservatively $10-$20 a day on food. Epicly uncool. Cue cooking my own food to stay alive.
I don't cook. Not a lot at all. I have a brain, so I can, I just haven't been. Pancakes and french toast are as complicated as it gets. I learned how to make an egg appropriately last summer. So, cook a meal every night I am home (haha wow, in the dorm...lol hometown in Syracuse)? What say we make it happen?!!!
My roommates look as if they are jumping on board. I saw that Julia Chiles movie with them and while volunteering I found a book with "1001" recipes. This combined with living a college summer and starting to cook my own meals is simple addition. 2+2+2=blog. Done.
So, check the recipes, poke around at the videos, keep up with my life, and, like a freshly cooked meal...enjoy!
