bullocks to anyone who says bachlors can't cook. We did pretty good and probably made other people on the residence floor jealous because it smelled so good down the hall to elevator. We don't intend to share either ^_^ Mind you, they were probably scared to barge in because we yell at each other and the food a lot as well. Bit of a gong show, bit of genius in progress.
Props to my roomates for some rad experimentation which turned into tried tested true goodness. As such I wish to preserve the high-protein/carb intake needed when studying and keeping fit.
Note lack of measurements as we didn't bother and cooked like our grandmothers and parents taught us. However spice to your preference and think trucker portions and it's good to go. Obviously cook up meat & veggies separately and don't drink too many beers or you will smell burning.
Final word, do I see KD aka empty calories anywhere but oh so brain-dead easy and yum? nope! aren't we the hot-stuff now? I am guilty on occasion of throwing a box in when I'm busy but I add veggies and fresh cheese for a solid meal. Enjoy!
