Eating well in a dorm.

I used to live in an apartment without a kitchen. I made it by with a toaster oven, hot plate, microwave, and later on, a magic bullet. If you are just feeding yourself, the toaster oven should cover your oven needs, and a hot plate can take the place of your rice cooker and Foreman grill. I also use a Magic Bullet instead of a conventional blender. Eating vegetarian is not a big problem as long as you have the recipes for doing it. I don't eat strictly vegetarian, but I only eat meat about twice to three times a week.

Check out getting a Magic Bullet. I love frozen fruit blended with some fruit juice. You get all the nutrients of the fruit, and it is usually naturally sweet enough without sugar.

Another idea is making burritoes. Get some cooked or canned black beans, with rice, gardeneirs (sp?), cheese (I prefer sharp cheddar or pepper jack, or drop it if you're vegan), and some sauteed vegetables in there never hurt either. Put your ingredients on one side of a tortilla wrap, fold it over, fold in the sides, and finish rolling it up. Remember not to use too much ingredients, or you won't be able to seal it up. If you have trouble sealing it up, you can use a little olive oil as glue. If you have cheese in it, microwave it for about 60 ~ 90 seconds to melt the cheese inside. Then stick it in the toaster oven for about two minutes to harden the wrap. We eat these after training for our protein supplement. Hope you like them too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I would starve to death

A crock pot could be your saving grace. I just can't help you there. Good luck to you!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
