Eat my shorts
The kitchens are student-proofed to a certain extent. The rest is up to you. Our appliances have a life of their own, so I have developed a sixth sense:
- Microwave food is done when it starts exploding.
- There is a 30-second window between undercooked and burnt.
- The freezer needs defrosting. But we ignore that one.
In the first few weeks, I leaned far more about food products than I wanted to. Life was more fun when I didn’t know what my GDA is, and how much saturated fat is in a pizza. It was more peaceful when I didn’t have to take everything out of the tiny freezer before I could get anything in it. My brain has retained the exact cooking guidelines of a dozen different styles of chip when it could be housing more useful information, like exam answers. Also, it’s time to clean the area when your nostrils are reluctant to continue functioning in the kitchen air.
Next week, The Lecture Hall.
