GUEST POST BY BIRDIE #1, who is learning to cook and blog this summer.
Coming soon!! Learning to cook is an essential college skill. Cooking Well is even more important, because food should be something to look forward to, not just subsist on. And cooking Well means that friends will do your bidding in exchange for a non-dorm meal.
So, armed with olive oil, garlic, and a very patient Ohana, here’s what’s cooking this week.
Meatless Monday
Rat-pa-tooty, now known as Ratatouille, because all the veggies are in season. Plus, we just received a bunch of fresh bell peppers from the grandparents.
Experiments on Tuesday
Spicy Chicken Spaghetti, courtesy of a newspaper recipe. It is advertised as quick and easy cooking. We’ll see.
Possibly Meatless Wednesday
Panini, with left-over veggies and bread from Ratatouille. If I’m feeling fancy, I might try something with strawberries too, because they’re in season. I’ve heard they pair well with brie and turkey.
Throwback Thursday
Nakayoshi Gakko Somen Salad. I made this in summer camp, and I miss it. Plus, if I was able to make it as a little bitty camper kid, I should be able to do it as a college student.
Fish on Friday
Fish Jun with Kochojang Sauce. One of my favorites. I need to learn to cook this well.
Have a good week all.

Plus it's fun.
