Great College meals you can make!

Grilled Turkey Sandwich

-a few slices of deli turkey (regular, none of that smoked stuff)
-Bread
-Olive Oil
-Lemon Pepper Seasoning (this one is my favorite, although you could use most
anything)
-Swiss, Provolone (sp?), or Cheddar Cheese
-a few slices of Green Onion

1) Put turkey onion and cheese in between bread (duh).

2) Drizzle bottom and top of sandwich with a bit olive
3) Spread olive oil evenly then sprinkle seasoning of choice on the olive oil
4) Fire up your grill or toaster oven and heat the sandwich until cheese melts and bread is
crisp

This sandwich is amazingly tasty and even easier to create.

Half-assed Oriental Ramen Noodles

1) Make ramen and drain water

2) Add veggies
3) Mix in 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 tea spoon ginger, crushed garlic clove, and a TINY
pinch of sugar

Oil based pasta with tuna.

Buy some better than average extra virgin (NOT light or late harvest) olive oil

Crush a clove or two of garlic, grind in a pestle and mortar some salt and thyme; crush
half to one anchovies into the salt and thyme powder. It will form a paste.

Finely cut up a capsicum into small chunks (5mm by 5mm is a good guide). Use a red
and green if you want it to look good.
Cut up an onion into similar sized chunks, and slice up a small hot chili.

Ok; heat up enough oil to cover the bottom of a fry pan plus a splash more. Not till it
smokes, merely till when you drop some onion in there it bubbles lightly. Cook the onion,
chili and garlic until the onion is clear. Add the crushed salt and thyme. Cook for a
minute or so over low heat while stirring. Add a can of tuna (small can for one person)
and cook this over low heat until it separates through and is coated in oil. Add the
capsicum.

Mix this through any pasta; long pasta works best. Adjust with salt to taste.

This takes about 10 minutes to cook but is amazingly good. If you don't like anchovies,
seriously add it anyway - you cannot taste it; it just adds a fullness to the flavor overall. If
however you don’t like tuna, why did you read this? Total cost should be about 15 dollars
the first time (olive oil) and about 5 dollars every time after that. I am a student and I eat
this all the time.

Oh you can also make this with salami; use hot and decent quality. It will be quite spicy
though, so watch out.

Beef Burnination

1-Pound Ground Beef

1/4th cup diced Red Pepper
1/4th cup diced Onion
1 Tbsp diced Garlic
1 Tbsp Black Pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar + Monterey)
An amount of Taco sauce to your liking.

In a non-stick pan, on a low heat, cook the beef until it is brown. Stir in Red Pepper,
Onion, Garlic and Black Pepper. Continue cooking for another minute. Place in bowl,
cover in shredded cheese and add taco sauce. It's a great substitute for eating tacos, is
cheap. You can substitute the cheese and taco sauce and add to stir-fry rice. (Cook with
rice + egg).

It's pretty easy to improvise when cooking this. Just add in basically anything spicy and it
will still be delicious. Just don't over-do it or you'll be spitting fire in no time.

I'm not sure these are college recipes, but I figure I'll share 'em anyway. My cooking
philosophy is simple, and inspired by Contact: why have food that's okay, when you can
have food that's twice as good for twice the effort?

Barbecued Taters:

- Cut russet potatoes into chunks you can mostly enclose in your fist.
- Cut each potato chunk almost all the way through at about 1/4 inch intervals.
- Prepare tinfoil: for each potato, pull out a strip about 4 inches long. Remove about 1/4
of the tinfoil from the long side.
- For each potato, pour a little olive oil on the foil, place the potato on top of it, and
lightly drizzle more olive oil on it. Due to high cooking temperatures, this is not the
occasion to bring out the extra-virgin stuff.
- Sprinkle each potato with equal portions onion powder, thyme, and Cajun seasoning.
- Wrap tinfoil around taters and throw on the barbie. Turn every few minutes. Let cook
for at least 20 minutes, I prefer 30 personally. Remove from grill, unwrap, and add sour
cream and Cajun seasoning. The Cajun seasoning applied earlier will be blackened, and
really works together well with the untouched seasoning. The potatoes will be brown or
black on the outside, but delightfully light and fluffy on the inside.
- Note: it is _really_ hard to overcook the taters, aside from outer blackening.

Modular Spaghetti Sauce:

- Dice onions, peel garlic cloves.
- Place frying pan on stove, and start heating to medium high.
- Add olive oil, onions, and garlic to the pan.
- Cook until onions begin to caramelize (i.e., get translucent and brown around the
edges).
- Add diced tomatoes. Even better, buy whole, skinned tomatoes, toast lightly in an oven,
and add to sauce.
- Add modular ingredients here: for example, red peppers, mushrooms, even broccoli.
Add ground beef if you so desire.
- Add all seasonings here, including oregano.
- IMMEDIATELY add most of the liquid from a nice white wine to the sauce. In a pinch,
substitute liquor. Note: alcohol dissolves many flavor components in tomatoes that would
otherwise be wasted. In my less-than-humble opinion: do it.
- Wait until liquid boils itself down to half volume.
- Put noodles into a pot, and add butter and sauce. Stir until thoroughly coated and
cooked on.

I just made this last Thursday with the shit we had lying around the apartment.
Blair's Armageddon Casserole

Ingredients:
1 box of Stove Top (c) Stuffing, any flavor.
2 cans tuna drained
1 can sweet peas, drained
Some cheese, preferable pre-shredded, cause shredding takes work.
Spices, they're all the same
Salt
Pepper
Hot sauce

Take a box of stovetop stuffing (Doesn't matter which flavor, I used Turkey)
Instead of a cup and a half of water, use 1 cup water and a half cup of orange juice.
Make as per directions.

While that is on, open 2 cans of tuna, and drain, also, open and drain normal can of sweet
peas. Fry tuna and peas lightly in olive oil. Add random spices (I used parmesan cheese,
and a shaker of "Italian spices") Fry a bit more. Salt and stuff, why not?

When Stuffing has sat for 5 mins, fluff with fork, then stir in tuna mixture, and some
shredded cheddar cheese. Top with more cheese, maybe some hot sauce (I did).

Let sit for a bit, so the cheese on top melts.

Eat that thing!!!

It was good as hell, honestly.
