The Poor College Student's Gourmet Meal

DEAR
     Poor college students:
         How are ya! I'll just dive into the point, here: you know when you are a "poor [insert noun here-- student, artist, musician, etc.]" and it's hard to make good meals on a really malnourished budget? Well, fear no more, for I, good reader, have the power of.... not-so-unhealthy-ramen.


          That's right! Step one: feeling hungry? Only have ramen packets in your pantry? Never fear! Simply stick that bad boy in a bowl, add 2 cups of water, and microwave for 2 minutes.

          Step two: while you're waiting the eternity that is two minutes, chop up anything resembling veggies from the dusty corners of your fridge: I managed to find a red pepper, green onion, and carrots.


          Step three: check the darkness at the back of your fridge-- do you see anything resembling protein? Grab that sucker and chop it up: leftover chicken your mom gave you and you forgot about, fish... anything.


          Step four: dump all the chopped food into your bowl of ramen and microwave for another minute. When it comes out, it should need just a dash of pepper, and there you go! Yum! 






With A Grain Of Salt,

Joélle.
