Beyond chicken broccoli bake
Before Ryan Couch learned to cook, he lived in West Quad Residence Hall, where he was en route to learning how to become
an engineer. There, he contented himself with dorm food like everyone else.
After two years, Couch left the University behind and joined the Marine Corps. In the Corps, he thought he'd be working as
a ground radio technician, but to his initial dismay, when he got to the base in Fort Lee, Va., he found that there wasn't a demand for
radio technicians, but there was a demand for chefs.
And after undergoing a rigorous training program at the base, and coming in first in his cooking class, he realized his passion didn't
lie in engineering, but cooking.
Now the head chef at Real Seafood Company on Main Street, Couch shares with The Statement the culinary secrets he wishes he
had known when he was in college. The following recipes were designed by Couch specially for the fledgling dorm room chef.

ANSWERS
From page 5B
nter
, CA *0 would advise students not
to jump into law school just
because they don't have any
pre-med requirements com-
pleted. You have to want to read,
write, work hard and have a con-
science. Your clients won't know
if you don't work as hard as you
can, but I think being a lazy law-
yer means leading a very unsat-
isfactory life.
0 My best very general piece of
advice for any applicant is to step
back and look at your application
materials as if you didn't know
yourself. Have you portrayed
yourself in the best possible light?
Is everything about your history as
clear as you want it to be? Does
the writing sound like your voice,
truly, or more like the voice of a
of the hottest thesaurus? Getting some distance
do and see and trying to objectively evaluate
etime? Bring your submissions is a great trick
for AE/ME/EE for making sure you've included
r flight test. all the necessary information and
presented it in a way that will be
appealing.

YOUTUBE
VIDEO OF
THE WEEK
A staring contest
with Mike Gravel
Mike Gravel, a candidate in the
Democratic presidential primary,
has something he wants you to take
away from his campaign video.
What thar is, he doesn't tell you.
You're supposed to ascertain the
message from the intensity of his
stare.
Gravel's completely silent, one-
shot campaign video, features the
candidate glaring into the camera
with s park and a lake behind him.
Gently swaying and making
slight movements with his mouth,
Alaska's former U.S. senator dem-
onstrates a flawless staring contest
technique.
After an entire 71 seconds, Grav-
el turns around, walks 15 feet and
picks up a basketball-sized rock.
Then, in a somehow symbolic ges-
ture, he tosses the rock into the
lake and turns from the camera.
Bold letters reading "Gray-
e12008.us" appear at the bottom of
the screen as Gravel walking away
down a winding path. The cam-
era stays on for two more minutes,
Gravel becoming nothing else buta
indiscernible speck.

THEME PARTY SUGGESTION
Holiday doubleheader - With the onset of the
commercial Christmas season claiming an earlier
November date each year, midnight on Halloween
isn't the witching hour so much as the holiday dis-
play switching hour. When October closes, put down
the Autumn Ale, ditch the ghost get-up and cheers a
mug of egg nog to SO-plus days of Christmas.
Throwing this party? Let us know. TheStatement@umich.edu
WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE
OF THE WEEK
Jamie Lee Curtis
Jamie Lee Curtis (born November 22, 1958) is an American film
actress and an author of children's books. Although she was initially
known as a "scream queen" because of her starring roles in many hor-
ror films early in her career.
Curtis' film debut was in the classic 1978 horror film "Halloween,"
playing the role of Laurie Strode, the only teenage character in the
film who is not killed. The film was a major success and was consid-
ered the highest grossing independent film of its time, earning status
as a classic horror film. Curtis was subsequently cast in several horror
films, garnering her the title of a "scream queen."
Her next film following "Halloween" was the horror film, "The
Fog," which was directed by "Halloween" director John Carpenter.
The film opened in February 1980 to mixed reviews but strongbox
office,[3] further cementing Curtis as a horror film starlet.
Film critic Roger Ebert, who had given negative reviews to all
three of Curtis' 1980 films, said that Curtis "is to the current horror
film glut what Christopher Lee was to the last one-or Boris Karloff
was in the 1930s."
