Behold!
This is an accumulation of my current food supply, with the exception of a box of hot chocolate powder which I forgot to include in the picture. (There’s a basil plant in there too but I don’t eat that).
I should probably clarify that I live in a dorm in a wonderful village known as York University, and most of my meals are bought with a meal card. Having this meal card is great because it means not having to walk 20 minutes to the nearest grocery store, not having to wash dishes in our filthy kitchen (apparently I’m not the only one who doesn’t like to clean up after herself), not having to worry about when my food is going to go bad, and not having to plan meals ahead of time.
Despite the convenience a meal card brings me, I think it would be a wise choice to cook for myself (at least 75% of the time) next year. Most of the restaurants at York are fast food places like Wendy’s, Subway, and KFC. Of course, there are healthy alternatives…the problem is fighting the temptation to eat the unhealthy food!
If I can eat healthy at school for a change, all the hassles of cooking would definitely be worth my time. What I need to work on in the meantime is becoming a more versatile cook, able to cook a variety of simple but yummy meals from memory.
We’ll see if I can get there this year…
