Food for College

Each of our boys have got some eating quirks that merit recording; some come about because of pickiness and others stem from an extreme liking of certain foods. We always tease them about what they will need to have in order to survive college (and missions) without Mom's cooking.

In order for Cache to survive without me, he will need to take a rice cooker and a bread machine. All other foods are secondary. With rice you can get frozen egg rolls and a little soy sauce and call it an outstanding meal. There are oriental sauces and mixes you can buy and whip up quickly if you have rice handy. With bread (store-bought bread just doesn't seem to do) you can make peanut butter toast, grilled cheese and other sandwiches. He could thrive off of these two items.

In order for Caleb to survive, he will need a LARGE selection of condiments, sauces and spices. This will include, but not be limited to season salt, garlic salt, barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, poppy seed dressing, vinegar types of dressings, soy sauce, Teriyaki sauce, Tabasco sauce, Tabasco Chipolte Sauce, A-1 Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, Taco Time taco sauce. . . okay, you get the picture. ANYTHING can be made edible if the sauce/spice selection is adequate!

In order for Chandler to survive, he will need a can opener, a bunch of canned fruit and a subscription to a Fruit of the Month Club.

Tessa hasn't shown her colors yet, but so far, she is leaning to needing a rice cooker also.
