Susy hands

leases Fitzgerald, a senior history major, said
was cooking in her apartment with a friend
i she ran into a problem.
We preheated the oven so that we could put
jthing in to bake, but we forgot that we had
ipi/za box in there from the night before that
tad put in there to keep warm while we ate,”
jemkl said.
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. I don’t think that my neighbors

^■it’s a lot healthier to cook at home, and I
to know exactly what is going into it,”
:gerald said. “It’s cheaper to cook at home and
in’tjparticularly like fast food or the variety that
tffefed. 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. Natalie Neiss,

to baby-sit it for five hours. From start to finish,
the preparation takes about seven hours.”
Neiss said she likes to make Italian
food because of her Italian heritage,
and enjoys experimenting with dif
ferent foods.
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.”
