Tere comes a time in all students
lives when due to schoolwork, lack of
access to a kitchen, being broke or being
a freshman they just cant be bothered
to cook. Besides sneaking Tupperware
into the dining halls, donning business
wear to infltrate Kellogg brunches and
participating in a diferent dinner-and-
worship service every night of the week,
utilize these easy dorm recipes to keep
your body operating at high capacity.
Ramen
Its easy to make in a microwave and
particularly tasty with Sriracha sauce.
No microwave? Break it into small
pieces and consume it with milk, as if
it were cereal.
Oatmeal
Healthy microwavable food. For an
extra kick, toss in a handful of Skittles.
No water or microwave? Pour the oat-
meal straight into your mouth and let
your saliva work its magic.
Jelly on crackers
Everyone knows a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich is the most convenient
dorm food. But for some reason jars of
jelly are always larger than jars of peanut
butter, so what better way to account
for a jelly surplus than to smear it on
crackers?
Sun-baked cookies
Take advantage of the beautiful
weather to put some cookie dough on
a sheet of tin foil and let it bake under a
window. Invoke that childhood sadism
and employ a magnifying glass to really
focus the suns rays.
Smores
Graham crackers, bite-size Hersheys
chocolate bars, giant marshmallows.
Lighter.
Quesadillas
Make them as basic or famboyant
as desired, but with a microwave you
could melt a slice of Kraf cheese in the
center of a tortilla and then add various
salsas, lettuce and shredded lunchmeat.
Fold over and consume.
Mac-and-cheese burger
Acquire Easy Mac and follow direc-
tions to cook a packet in the micro-
wave. Apply the macaroni and cheese
to burger buns.
English muffn pizzas
Make a handful of tiny pizzas by
slathering English mufns with pizza
sauce, shredded cheese and any number
of optional toppings. Microwave for two
minutes.
Spaghetti soup
Break spaghetti into pieces small
enough to ft in a bowl, add just enough
water to submerge the noodles and
microwaves for two minutes. Ten
heat up a can of Campbells tomato
soup and add the noodles to the soup.
Its like a spaghetti dish, only you can
drink it.
Heavenly Hash
Collect a variety of fruits and dice
them. Mix in marshmallows, gelatin and
generous amounts of Cool Whip.

Easy, no-cook snack foods for your dorm or apartment

Best place to take your
parents: Koi, 624 Davis St.
Serving both Chinese and Japanese
cuisine, Koi has a variety of foods on
its menu, from sushi to curry. A bit on
the pricey side, Koi is a better destina-
tion for family meals, when parents pick
up the bill and theres the opportunity to
share appetizers and entrees. Plus, when
weather permits, the restaurant opens
the large windows in its front lounge to
let in a breeze, adding to the ambiance.
Take advantage of both menus by order-
ing the miso soup and the chicken Kung
Pao plate, which comes out to about $15
for an individual.
Best place to eat alone: Cosi,
1740 Sherman Ave.
Cosi, a sandwich-soup-salad-pizza
chain known for its fatbread and fresh
ingredients, is a quick and tasty choice
for busy students who still want a decent
sit-down meal under $10. With an
atmosphere similar to that of Panera
Bread lounge chairs, counters and
free Wi-Fi diners can multitask and
complete work while they eat without
feeling uncomfortable. Cosi can be a good
option for students who want to grab a
quick bite without having to default to
the dining hall. Get the most out of your
meal by opting for the Cosi Duo taste
two option, choosing from a half sand-
wich, a half salad and a cup of soup for
about $8. Te pesto chicken melt with
a Greek salad on the side comes highly
recommended.
Best place to take a signifcant
other: Cozy Noodles & Rice,
1018 Davis St.
Looking for an interesting place for date
night? Te whimsical quality surrounding
this Asian noodle joint hails from its dec-
oration scheme. Antique toys like bobble
heads and action fgures line shelves in
its main room, and an adjoining room
features a collage of license plates from
every state. Te uniquely adorned walls
will provide plenty of interesting con-
versation material, as will the good food.
An inexpensive establishment, checks can
also be easily split if you want to go Dutch.
Start with the cucumber salad for a light
and tangy start to the meal, and go with
the classic Pad Tai for the main event,
all for under $10.
