What with food being such a neat thing and all, I find that whenever I consider the thought that I want to be eating some of it, I want it right then and there. I don't want to spend an hour cooking it; I don't want the down on sweet and sour pork and Mercy Cube ...?. Saturday steamed rice, I began' a sudden meditation So we've decided there's nothing in the world better thanfood. Except for sleep. Or possibly sex, but both of those things are improved by garnishing them withfood as well, so let's put that topic aside. on just how really neat food is. I mean, just think about it. Can you think of anything that is neater than food? Well, there's television, but even ; the best of television shows, like "CHiPs," (Whock-a-chic-- a, "The Simpsons" ("mmmmm, donuts ...") and ""Eye to Eye with Connie Chung" ("It's just between us") are cither better appreciated while consuming food or are constantly referring to food in some manner or other.

But a student cannot live through restaurants alone, not if you want to do things with your life besides eating. (Although that is occasionally a tempting option.) So you have to rely all too often on those reliable standbys, macaroni and cheese and Top Ramen.

That is, until I get a phone call and run back into the kitchen when I smell horrific smoke. And there's always the balanced meal problem When I cook, I only cook one thing and that's the meal. If I want a boiled egg for breakfast, I boil five and that's breakfast. Period. Sure, I can feel my capillaries shiver, but that's all part of the fun. A lot of people are really down on food nowadays, and it's just not fair.
