COOKING
Continued from Page 3B
Some independent cookers say
that residence hall food hit their
pocketbooks harder than does gro-
cery store shopping. Due to buying
in bulk and selective shopping, stu-
dents who cook for themselves tend
to save money and eat out less.
"It's cheaper because you get what
you want at the store," Morgan said.
"I ordered out a lot in the dorm if
(the dining hall) didn't have what I
wanted."
Zanier agreed, saying that her

meal plan
in the resi-
dence halls
was costly.
She said
that cook-

"It all depends on my
budget if things are
tight, I just make
macaroni and cheese."

"I make a dish with eggplant,
lightly pan-fried in marinara sauce
with parmesan," Zanier said. "It's
filling and it is low in fat. It seems
like I'm eating a lot."
Elizondo enjoys a pastaroni.
"It's real easy, and it tastes real
good," Elizondo said. "It's just water,
milk and cheese mix, and it's ready
to eat in 10 minutes."
Years, or just months, of preparing
meals can teach students new cook-
ing techniques and tricks. Some stu-
dents have learned how to make
cooking easier and quicker.
Elizondo found that "you can mar-

inate chicken in Italian dressing, and
you can actually live on ramen noo-
dles."
Some students, on the other hand,
discovered tips to pass on to the
novice.
"Things burn easily," Morgan said.
"You name it, I can burn it - eggs,
chicken, rice, anything"
Overall, cooking seems to be a
valuable thing for students to learn,
unless of course, you can't find the
kitchen, as is the case with Business
senior Eric Sealove.
"My kitchen is much too filthy to
ever cook in," Sealove said.

every night would get expensive,
preparing one's own food in general"
is less expensive than eating in the
dining halls, she said.

recipes.
While Siegle has found a love for
grill cooking, other students have
found quick and tasty meal ideas.
