A few months ago our oldest (now a college Freshman) opened the kitchen cabinets and said, "there's nothing to eat."

 I replied, "make some pasta."

He said,  "I don't know how to boil water."

"You take AP Physics and you don't know how to boil water?"

He told me, "that's a mean thing to say."  And, he was right.  So, I taught him how to boil water, add the pasta for the right amount of time (Al dente), drain, add some olive oil and a few fresh basil leaves from the garden.  Simple and fast.   And, I never touched a pan, box or sink.

Wonder what's in the cabinet/mini fridge in the college dorm room?
