I’m really happy with this new little toy. It would make a great Christmas gift for someone in a dorm or limited cooking space. Sometimes I travel ALOT and some motels don’t have coffee makers or microwaves. I have a...

Looked inside an open door on the ground floor of the Palladium dorm on 14th street and there were about 15 workers inside with a lot of electrical equipment being carted in. Playing dumb I asked one of the workers what was going...

I’m 18 years old and I live in a college dorm with a communal kitchen and fridge, so buying wine for cooking is pretty much impossible. So, it seems my options are to just stay away from recipes with wine in them (or any...

Hello Chowhounders! I am doing a report on Mole for a college course and as much as I wish I could cook it in my dorm I cannot. SO I need help finding the best Mole between Pasadena and anywhere in the Inland Empire. Any...

) Does anyone have a microwave cookbook suggestion they recommend for a sweet young lady that loves to cook, granted at the early stages of learning, but is confined to the wonders of her dorm microwave? Many thanks!

Well, I don’t know if he quite qualifies as a “master” yet, but my cousin Chris Rudziensky is an underrated chef, in my opinion. He’s toiling away in the back of a dorm dining hall at the University of...

-laid-every-night way. But in a dorm-food-is-crap kind of way. Really. The curry looked like an oil spill sample from the Pacific destined for some environmental lab and awaiting a toxic content report. There was water. There was...

Shh! I can hardly believe that Philadelphia’s Best Value Glatt Kosher Market (8564 Bustleton AVe) is the only place a person can buy a fresh Empire pre-cooked barbecued turkey, or a (now, only frozen) Empire pre-cooked...

That’s a tough one especially if she doesn’t have cooking facilities in her dorm. Maybe you could focus on finding some microwave-friendly recipes using each of the ingredients she is permitted. If there are cooking...

On Congress street near the USM dorm

hmm. sounds like the time we tried roasting marshmallows near the radiator in a friend’s dorm room. won’t say what condition we were in. but seriously, the hotdogs would cook ok, but i’d be worried about the...

the dry goods, potatoes too and get a gift card for the local supermarket so he could buy the fresh things and cook for the others staying in the dorms. (No dining hall at Louisville)
