In accordance with Principle No. 6, TheSmogBlog is dedicated to The Student and making The Student’s life better in any way possible.  To this end, TheSmogBlog is initiating a challenge: a forum to enable students living in dormitories to enjoy fine cuisine despite having limited or no money — and probably no kitchen — by publishing recipes that can be made at a limited cost with the limited number of appliances that can fit in a dorm room.  Only three appliances will be allowed: a dual electric burner, a cheap toaster oven available at various chain pharmacies (students need to watch their budget), a mini-fridge (where the hell else are you going to put the beer?).

Microwave Controversy The The purpose of this forum is an exchange of recipes.  It is not about telling a kid to buy a microwavable meal and nuke it.  However, TheSmogBlog realizes that many students will have a microwave oven and not a toaster oven, so for purposes of this forum, the recipe must be able to be made in a toaster oven and alternate directions on how to make the same recipe in a microwave are encouraged. If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.
