Bagels

[Magik]

I'm so hungry right now. The caf closes at 8 and I already ate all my ritz crackers.

What are some good foods that can be prepared or kept with only a minifridge, a toaster, a microwave, and a leaky coffee pot. Basically, got any dorm recipes?

I'm soo gonna get a bagel for breakfast tomorrow.

Re: Bagels

I usually kept the basics: bread, corn/flour tortillas, crackers, and cereal. Having a block of cheese and some milk was always handy, and I'd usually try to keep some random lunchmeat (goes well with the bread and crackers) and chips.

Re: Bagels

I agree with all of those things.

Re: Bagels

It gets so bad for me, that I have to improvise recipes. Tonight I made rice and used chcken broth instead of water, and threw in a flavor packet I didn't use from some ramen noodles into the broth.

Re: Bagels

I freaked out my roommate's mom by eating condensed chicken noodle soup right out of the can. I told her "it's just easier this way."

Re: Bagels

I've done that before.

Re: Bagels

Yeah, I think it tastes better if you don't add water.

Re: Bagels

It's chunky - but more flavorful.

I used to just eat tortillas with BBQ sauce in them.

I was really skinny that semester...

Re: Bagels

good tips, Nix. Now, what's everything I'd need for a simple but relatively complete bar? I've got vodka, rum, and goldschlager--and I think someone left a 40 of vodkice in my fridge, but that's neither here nor there. I don't have anything to mix with.. i need a couple of simple recipes.

Re: Bagels

I usually mix vodka with fruit juice. Sometimes I'll use these weird carbonated fruit sodas (izze).

Re: Bagels

yeah, i figure i should always have at least coke and orange juice in stock for some very basic mixed drinks. I should get some jaegar and bacardi 151 and make liquid cocaine shots.

Hey, since this thread is pretty random, I'm going to digress a little.. anyone like (or used to like) Nirvana? I was never hugely into them, I think they were just a tad before my time as far as musical tastes go. Anyway, you know that song Lithium? The Polyphonic Spree did a cover of it. I find it mildly hilarious, being a fan of the Polyphonic Spree. It's funny to hear a choir sing it. I'm not sure where I'm going with this.

I'm in the same condition I was when I first made this thread, you see.

Re: Bagels

One of my friends was into Nirvana, so I got to hear all their albums. I liked Incesticide and bleach a whole lot, and eventually I picked up the rest. In Utero came out after that (sometime during my freshman year in HS, I think), but my friend had to make me a copy of that album because my mom heard about the track called "rape me" and had a **** fit.

I still like Incesticide a lot, especially "big long now," "aero zepplin," and "downer." Back in the day I was obsessed with the unreleased track called "marigold." When I was in a crappy non-band in HS, I really liked singing that tune. It's on the "heart shaped box" single that was released as part of a set, so it took me a while to hunt it down. Maybe Highwind knows more about the background of that song...?
