Meedless to say, a fire started and all of the ice detectors in the house went off. It was :ing and windy out, so we couldn’t open the sBnd windows to air the place out, and the ke petectors wouldn't stop. We had to climb •n Chairs and take the batteries out of all the ke detectors.

Everything tastes the same.” Chain restaurants offer a choice of low fat, emaiive tastes on their menus, but these idspan be high in saturated fat because high levels prolong their freshness.

I will watch food TV to get a recipe and then change it,” Neiss said. Neiss said satisfaction comes from making her own meals, regardless of the time it takes. “I make my own meals so that I can watch what goes into it and make sure that there are no left overs,” Neiss said. Nicole Carlson, a senior history major, said she likes to make simple and healthy meals such as soups or chicken and rice dishes. "I like to cook, and 1 feel like by cook ing I eat healthier and it saves money,” Carlson said. "When you make your own food you know what is going into it, and you don’t have to worry about grease and fat.” Combining different ingredients over a burn ing stove may sound simple, but the kitchen can provide funny stories. Carlson said she was making dinner for her fish camp when she accidentally burned the chicken spaghetti she was preparing. “I was using a gas stove, and I wasn’t used to it because 1 had always cooked on an electric stove,” Carlson said. “I burned the bottom of the pot, so I served my Fish Camp burned spaghetti. Everyone still ate it even though it tast ed burnt, and no one said anything.” ADRIAN CALCANEO • THE BATTALION Cameron Reynolds Attorney At Law Licensed by the Texas Supreme Court Not Board Certified Class of‘91 Jim James Attorney At Law Board Certified Criminal Law Class of ‘75 SPECIALIZING IN THE DEFENSE OF CRIMINAL CHARGES INCLUDING: V • Driving While Intoxicated • All Alcohol and Drug Offenses • All other Criminal Offenses 979-846-1934 e-mail: jim@tca.net website: http://jimwjames.wld.com A J - .jJSB 4 ■ ■ "THIS DVD's GOT DRIVE WITH FOUR DIFFERENT HIGH-OCTANE ENDINGS, THE RIDE NEVER STOPS!" 1 - Bruce Kiuaer.
