Re: College

Eggs: I buy egg beaters because we do not have a stove anywhere in my dorm which is available for students. Otherwise I would love to make my own eggs every morning since I much prefer those to egg beaters.

Weekend: I go home a lot on weekends and that's when I would always just eat whatever I felt like. I'm getting away from that bad habit so I can eat well all the time (not just when I'm on my own) and just saying no, but the urge is still there. Still in the process of conquering that sucker...

When I was in college, I had a hot pot (an electric kettle in which I boiled water for tea or coffee) I also used to boil eggs in it---and it didn't do a bad job of boiling frozen green beans either.

We also had a microwave in the dorm lounge. You can use a microwave to scramble eggs (something I do when I'm in a hurry) or even to "bake" eggs. Jcapulet suggested the plastic containers for microwave eggs, but I just use a microwave safe bowl/coffee cup to cook in.

I think I am missing something here. You are cooking the egg beaters somehow, aren't you?

Re: College

A clarification- is whipping cream like making merangue for pies? You just keep blending until it gets airy and frothy? I've never tried it before

It's the same process you use for making meringue. PS---if you use a whisk and a bowl, 1. it's cheaper to buy a whisk, 2. you'll get a good upper body work-out, 3. it's easier to clean, and 4. it requires less storage space than a mixer.
