Home Economics - Cheap Food with a Twist
Who: Sable, her class and anyone else that pops in!
What: It's Home Economics! This week covers a little cooking.
Where: The Home Ec. room
When: Tuesday, June 8th
Warnings: Make sure your food is cooked all the way through, especially meat! Getting sick is never good.
“Hello, everyone,” Sable greeted the class. Throughout the past couple of years, her confidence in teaching a class only grew more with every week. Of course, at times things were a little shaky, but at least she wasn’t nearly as nervous as she was when she first got started.
“Well, we might as well cover the bare bones of this class to start. Home Economics is a wide topic, and it does cover many subjects. Over the course of this semester, we’ll cover some physical things such as sewing, cooking and cleaning to more mental things such as maintaining good relationships and being a good host or hostess. Today, we’ll cover a little bit about cooking when you’re on a small budget.”
On her desk were a few cheap foods, things like plastic cups of instant noodles and boxes of macaroni and cheese. “I know that if you don’t feel like eating any food in the cafeteria, you can always cook something that’s relatively quick and easy, like the stuff I have up here. However, it’s entirely possible to get tired of this pretty quickly, and if you don’t have enough money to go out somewhere and eat, then you’re out of luck! Fortunately, there are ways to spice up cheap food!”
She pointed to another counter that was filled with all sorts of different ingredients, from spices such as salt and cinnamon to more practical foods such as eggs and bacon. Among these foods were a few odd things such as chocolate, jelly beans and beef jerky.
“What I want you to do,” Sable continued, “is to make a dish first using something that’s easy to make, such as a cup of noodles or macaroni and cheese, and then add something else on the other counter to it to twist things up a bit. For example, you could fry up some bacon and put it on top of macaroni and cheese. You could also do something as simple as making some toast and then putting on some peanut butter and bananas on it. The possibilities can be endless!”
