cycles of hunger

Life has interesting cycles.  For example, my cooking habits have cycled.  In junior high I was all about cooking and I actually cooked quite a bit.  Some in High School.  Then I got to college.  For the first year I held my own.  Mostly easy to make boxed meals.  But I ate.  Then I moved home for the summer.  I found myself totally reverting to being completely useless and dependent.  It was pretty crazy.  I made my way through the rest of college and actually ate pretty well with homemade food and lots of leftovers.  Then I moved home again and reverted again.  There is just something about mom making you dinner.  Now I have moved out and have yet to fix a real meal.  I have lived here almost a month.  I eat lots of cereal and granola bars.  Occasionally I make an omelet or have chips and salsa.  On really crazy days I have a quesadilla.  And until my yogurt supply dried up, I was eating lots of yogurt.  Now all that is in my fridge is cheese and milk.  It is going really well.  Any ideas of how long this cycle is going to last?
Oh and I go over to my parents several times a week for dinner.  That will keep up until they change the locks.

Mine lasted until I stopped working and had nothing to do but try to reason with a baby/toddler. Cooking made me feel more like an adult than a muppet.

Ha ha! You crack me up! I love the way you tell your stories! Two things, 1-my favorite recipes that I have I got from you (banana bread & chicken pot pie...yum). you should make them. They're really good! 2-your question about the snooze button on your profile is too hilarious! You are the roommate that taught me how to snooze. A habit that I still can't seem to shake...
