No Rest for the Hungry
Before I begin, I’d like to officially title this blog, “No Rest for the Hungry: Or, a thank you to my mom’s friends for making sure I don’t starve” by Ellen Gordon.
Anyway, remember a few weeks ago when I blogged about all of my cooking adventures? I neglected to mention one thing: I can’t actually cook.
At least, until last weekend, I couldn’t.
And what happened last weekend? Well, I journeyed to the distant land of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to visit my old Judaica tutor, Tzvia, and her family. After seeing me stumble around the kitchen like a lost puppy, fascinated by the fact that, as a real grown up, she could afford more than one box of cereal, Tzvia quickly realized that I had no idea what I was doing.
Forever my tutor, she sought to remedy this situation. Thus: 48 hours of emergency cooking lessons.
We went through all the cooking basics a college student might need.
We went from scrambled eggs with spinach and mozzarella…
That’s right! I’m now the proud owner of my own cereal box. And while I don’t have five boxes yet, I’m definitely on my way up!
