Bonus - Cooking

So, cooking was kind of a difficult experience for me. Not in the fact that it was hard or anything, but because I had no idea what I could easily make. Pretty quickly I discovered that what could be easily made was curry and "beef stew." What I first tried to make were fajitas. It turned out that my Trader Joes seasoning wasn't enough and because I had no recipe they turned out less than enjoyable. At the beginning of the year, there was a lot of different cookware left out in the hallway. It turned out that I could grab whatever I wanted, and my Mom helped me figure that out.  There were actually a wide variety of dinner "kits" that included all the seasoning and broth or whatever and a list of ingredients that were usually pre-bundled together. For example, if I bought a box of curry mix, there would be a shrink-wrapped tray of all of the vegetables I would need for very cheap.

Here is what I made in each image by row:
