cooking at the McKitterick joynt

[mckitterick]

Taking a cue from weaselmom's recent cooking entries, I thought I'd post my own cooking entry. Ahem, without further ado:

Bachelor Cooking 101: Soup

1. Go to the local grocery store.


2. Buy the new Campbell Microwavable Soup (mine was Chicken Noodle).


3. Go home.


4. Remove plastic lid from "can" (made of plastic).


5. Remove metal lid from can.


6. Replace plastic lid on can.


7. Place in microwave and cook for 90 seconds.


8. Wait one minute while the "microwavable metal" ring around the can's top (this scares me a little) cools.


9. Remove the plastic lid and discard.


10. Drink soup directly from can.


11. Set empty can on floor for cat to clean.

I know, I know; it's less creative than weaselmom's cooking adventures, but I was able to go from wondering, "What shall I eat?" to throwing away the kitty-cleaned can in less time than it took to write this post.

Tomorrow's episode: Bachelor Cooking 101: Sandwiches.

Let's hope the chicken soup will help drive away the illness. G'night!

I think I can say, with some ring of authority, that going to the store and coming home again are not technically part of the recipe. I notice you didn't mention "stirring." Isn't some stirring involved? How do you expect me to follow a recipe if you leave stuff out?

Love you, but you know that.

Well, if it's for a true bachelor, they might need to know where to find said food. Oh, and no stirring involved! Simplicity defined!

Thas funny.
and I'd add.. it ain't the local grocery store, it's the humongous chain giant that makes it easy for bachelors to find.

Wow, not even crumbled crackers? That's pretty damn spartan. Hint: Adding a drop of tabasco or a (very) small scoop of rooster sauce really perks up the chicken noodle soup and would probably be good for your stuffy sinuses. But that might be to high-falutin' for a bachelor, I dunno.

Might I recommed the cambell's box soups? cambell's select, I think they're called.

Just as easy, and tastier.

God, speaking of bachelor cooking, did I ever tell you what S used to do at SCA events? He'd eat a can of cold ravioli. Out of the can. Cold. With a fork. For BREAKFAST. He'd go to war with a bellyful of cold ravioli. Used to freak the rest of the camp clean out. I still shudder when I think of it.

That's nuthin'. When I was in high school, Jim and I would buy cans of brown beans which we'd eat with plastic forks while cruising Main Street.

I'll bet you guys had to beat the girls off with a stick.

Heh. Heh heh. That's dirty.

Oh, oh -- for SCA most of the time I was the cook for our group. Stew and chili for cold weather camping, with hot cider, cocoa, tea and coffee all day. For summer, taco salads, cold smoked turkey on bagels, orange and cranberry juice ... no period stuff, just Real Food. Needless to say we got a lot of visitors.
