<p>I plan to get the flex 5 meal plan for my college.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I'll only eat 1 or 2 real meals a day. I'm not going to wake up for breakfast, and I know that for sure. xD</p>
<p>Since my college is pretty close to home, I am actually thinking of making spam musubi when I go home on the weekends and keeping some in my dorm. It could be a snack or a quick meal! </p>
<p>Anyone else here bring food or have ideas for a quick meal that can be stored?</p>
<p>My sister loves taking back food with her from break, and she doesn’t even have a kitchenette! She just has a fridge, a freezer, a microwave, and a hot pot. I seem to remember her having a toaster oven at one point, but I’ve never read about a school that allowed that. She liked to take back stuff she could freeze, thaw, and then heat up. She liked to take back chili, vegetable soup, homemade spaghetti sauce (could cook noodles in the hot pot), homemade jelly, fufu (it’s a Ghanian ethnic food), chicken pot pie (to be eaten over biscuits stolen from the dining room), and some other things. My sister missed home-cooked meals and my mom got very, very creative.</p>
<p>Spam musubi?</p>
<p>it’s like sushi. but a piece of spam in the middle. It’s actually very filling, and it could be kept for a while. : )</p>
<p>Ohh! I heard some dorms don’t allow toaster ovens… or hot pots. :\ Otherwise, I’d probably cook.</p>
<p>jenuwin01: I don’t think ANY colleges allow hot pots or toaster ovens in their dorms.</p>
<p>What the hell is wrong with a toaster oven?</p>
<p>Oh I was referring to applicannot’s post. lolol.</p>
<p>toaster ovens could lights things on fire, if the user is ■■■■■■■■.</p>
<p>None of the colleges I have looked at personally allow toaster ovens OR hot pots. I’m not sure if my sister’s school was a rare exception or if she was breaking the rules (she never got caught, anyway).</p>
<p>Unless you’re really dumb about it (like starting a fire in your room) you won’t get caught with a toaster oven or hot pot (especially the hot pot because it’s smaller). At my school, RA’s can only check your room if they have a good reason to, like suspected drinking or drug use. They aren’t going to bother with a suspected toaster oven, and that’s if they figure out you have one in the first place.</p>
<p>yeah, just don’t be stupid with the small appliances and you’re golden. </p>
<p>as for making stuff and bringing it back, a lot of soups freeze really well. so do lasagnas.</p>
<p>I know a couple of people with their own personal mini-oven and mini refrigerators who do that all the time</p>
<p>spam</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Dumbest. Reason. Ever. So could exploding laptop batteries, gasoline, short-circuiting refrigerators, overheated TV’s, aluminum foil in the microwave, cigarette lighters,…heck my dorm room has a full gas stove!</p>
<p>How did you manage to fit a full gas stove into a dorm room?</p>
<p>I had a two toasters in my dorm, and a water boiler.</p>
<p>I only had a problem once when I set off the fire alarm, but I lied and said my curtain got caught on a light bulb and started smoking.</p>
<p>We’ve got a full sized (well…Manhattan sized anyway) kitchen.</p>
