Pega's going to College!

[Pega]

What does that mean? That means you may not see me for a while, coming next week. :/ I'll try to get the redrawings/breeding out before then, but if not, you might have to wait 'til Christmas-time. ^^;

Anyhow, I'll miss y'all, but I'll be awfully lonely at college if I stay a reclusive, internet-loving chicka for the first few weeks. I need to be my enthusiastic, fun-loving, cheerful self, not my anti-social self. XD (I'm a bit of both, believe me)

<3 If you have any spiffy secrets to college life or microwave cooking, let me know. I mean, like... microwaveable recipes. Of yumminess. No stove in the dorms... snap!

[Dawby]

Scrambled eggs are fairly easy to make in the microwave, actually. My mom has a cookbook of microwave recipes only. Maybe I'll take a peek next time I'm over and see if there's anything good!!

[AirRaiser]

Ramen Noodles are your friend. Hummmm you don't have to be fun loving you can be anti social alot some times thats the best thing. It helps you focus on what you need to do before you have fun. Yup yup *Tries to think of other things that are helpful for school*

[Belladandy]

St. Alice and fluffy blue dragons! Our Paga's going to collage ;D

Good luck and TP the whole dorm!

[Pegadoingchores]

Yeah... thanks! Scrambled eggs are good... <3

Hehe... AR... I just mean that I can't be here all the time... that kind of anti-social. ^.~ I just want to be able to make some friends, or else I /will/ come here and get sucked into the internet for hours on end instead of doing work and/or making friends. :3

Toilet Paper the whole DORM? XD That'd be a lot of work, methinks... and not worth it, either. ^^; I dun't really want to get kicked out... yet.^.~ Thanks, though. XD You made me laugh.

*has dorm-microwave in storage* whoot.

Corn on the Cob-
Wrap corn in a wet paper towel and place on a microwave-safe plate. (Remove all the green stuff first, too) Cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove paper towels and add butter. <3

Baked Potatoes/Yams/Sweet Potatoes-
Wash potato/yam/sweet potato to get all the dirt off, stab with fork 4-5 times on all sides (Just to poke holes in it to let out the steam). Leave it wet when you put it in the microwave and cook for 8-12 minutes depending on the size. Cut it open to check and see if it's done (IE: Not crunchy inside). If it's done, add butter (and/or marshmallows for the yams), + seasonings and eat. If its not, cook for a few more minutes checking occasionally.

Instant Rice-
Converted or 'instant' rice usually has instructions for microwave use. If you don't want to invest in microwave cookware, you can use a bowl to cook in and an upside down plate as a lid. (Both microwave safe, of course) It's about 3-8 minutes cook time depending on the instructions. I usually add butter and salt to flavor the rice. Or, if I'm feeling meaty, I'll add a cut up hot dog.

Oatmeal-
Most oatmeal, either instant or not, will have microwave instructions.

Soup-
Usually just needs to be re-heated, since canned soup is already cooked.

Rice Crispy Treats-
Nummy, but not nutritious.

Popcorn -
Causes everyone in the dorm building to also make popcorn. Careful, though, as... ahem. I've burned my fair share of bags.

More microwave stuff here.

And cereal is a dorm-goer's best friend.

[Jaguara Katial]

I don't know if you can have crockpots, but they might be a good investment...

[Saturnalia]

To add to what everyone else has said...

Keep all this tasty food somewhere mice CANNOT get it. Even if your dorm is supposedly mice-free to begin with, it most likely won't stay that way. Better not to attract their notice.

I learned the hard way, and lost all my Ramen to the buggers

[Pegastilldoingchores]

Thanks 'lura! I never knew you could cook corn on the cob in the microwave! *cheer* I'd love to eat good, nutritious food every now and then. XD

Hmmn... I'll have to see if they allow crockpots... I know they don't allow hotplates or skillets, so I doun't really think so. :/

<.< Bad mices. I'd like to pet one, tho. ^.~

One of my friends managed to trap one with peanut butter in a tupperwear with holes in the top. He named it Mr. Crumbles, and we released it into a bush far, far away from our dorm

[Sith Lord FP]

how exciting! I hope you have lots of fun and meet tons of new people! I know im looking forward to when school starts.

[Pega]

<3 That's cute. ^^ See... if I could bring my cat, that problem would be solved... but I can't. *pout* Of course... I hate it when she brings me dead mice... I've always had pet rodents, so... <.<

Thanks for the well-wishing, Arielle. I'll need all I can get. ^_^!

[Skye the Wolf]

Ramen noodles + spam = starving artist/college student D: (well, since I'm only thirteen, I'm making educated guesses about the college student part X3)

[Sith Lord FP]

OMG YES...except without the spam XD my friend and i because we spent so much money on cells and cell paint practically starved and lived on ramen ;;;;;;; XD ramen is officially the starving artist/college student diet XD

[Arriaki]

I'm not a colleger yet...but I really love to cut up apples, put some cinnamon on them and put them in the microwave for a bit. Not too much! Or you will burn the hair off your tongue...and all the generations of hair to come as well. Hmm...and those apples taste good just drizzled over some rice...and youc an make rice int he microwave as Aylura pointed out
