Well, how do you guys stay alive? This question is aimed at but not limited to university students, who often start to live on their own. I for instance enjoy cooking very much:

,29,0,0,1,0
(some kind of strange french-german-switzerland Pizza, again not translated but will be. It's low priority though)

So, do you cook?

My cooking abilities are limited to throwing things into the oven and reading the instructions...

I used to eat too many pot noodles, but I've moved onto those noodles you cook in the pan now. I often remind my parents that it costs me less to feed myself than it costs to feed the cat - which is true.

I don't cook much because I always seem to have better things to do, but when I can find time I usually enjoy it. Most of my cooking is done on camping trips (though not if it's a backpacking trip, then I eat noodles and oatmeal).

I used to make an awesome six-bean multi-meat many-seasoned dish, but I have not been interested in it ever since I got food poisoning from it several years ago. Puking in the woods and then having to hike out and drive home at 1:00 will turn you off anything. Strangely, no one else got sick.

Other good things to cook: Pancakes, muffins, bread, pork fried rice. I have yet to make really good pork fried rice, mine seems to be missing something. It tastes pretty good, but it just seems lacking, and I don't know why.

I cook. I think eating good food is something to avoid compromising on so I put some effort into it.

I also enjoy cooking alot to.
One of my favorites is home made fagasa. It is an Italian bread that my grandmother gave me the recipe to, It is really really good, and extremely simple to make:

Just go to Safeway and get those frozen dough loaves from the freezer, thaw it, roll it out and put it in a rectangular pan, throw it in the oven at very low heat, and put a towel on it to let it rise, it should rise alot. Then take it out again, coat the top in olive oil and salt, and bake at 375degrees F
Check on it every 5-6minutes and add more olive oil and salt on to it. should take 15-20minutes to bake?
Cant remember for sure, so just make sure to watch it.
It is a quite addicting bread!

I love cooking, although i'm not that good. However, i can cook a killer peppercorn filet mignon and coupled with a good bottle of merlot makes for a memorable evening for sure!!

Still living with my parents (being only 16) I only cook once a week. Every other week I make stir fry and on the others I alternate between ravioli or chicken shake and bake. I like it all, it pwns the crap my brother makes (I never thought it was possible to make spaghetti w/marinara sauce taste bad but he proved me wrong

)

I think that the biggest problem with my cooking is the lack of meat. Because my mom is a vegetarian it has been banned from all of our meals (except for when we bbq)

If you mean cook in the sense of heating food before you eat it, then yes, I do cook. Occasionally...
I have to confess I've actually eaten waffles that were still frozen and without anything on them just because I didn't feel like going to the trouble of heating them.

Ha! cooking is fun! But for me, If it takes longer than 5 minutes and doesn't go in the microwave its not food! My dad says I'm in the MO erra. I usualy never use the stove.
