Dorm + Gourmet (alternately spelled dormet)
Something I really miss from home is cooking together and then eating with family and friends.
Sama dining hall is great, but sometimes you just need a home-cooked meal that does not contain Indian spices.
Because there was no rehearsal this weekend, I had some free time to cook and see friends.
Last week we cooked for my birthday (wonderful hodgepodge pasta), last night I went to play board games and cook with Vermonters and friends, today I hung out with the French-speakers (for the record, I don't speak French. I am not the best at languages) while they baked, and just now I crafted an amazing grilled cheese (apple, caramelized apple, and camembert) inspired from this newly-discovered blog: http://www.grilledcheesesocial.com/.
Important sidenote: Whatever spellcheck is on this platform accepted "Vermonters" as a legitimate word.
There is something about cooking for yourself and with others that just feels like home, no matter where you are, or what cuisine is being cooked.
Recipes connect us to the past, to people, to the act of creating, in a way I often forget as a student on a meal plan. It is also very adult-like.
This year I am cooking more for myself, thanks to the purchase of a small frying pan.
Though if I am being honest about my cooking, I am mainly making grilled cheese, drinking fresh ginger tea, and continuing my love affair with brie.
