Yet Another Little Known Fact
To save money on the Columbia University dining plan this semester, Bossy’s son has been cooking many meals in the dorm kitchen, which is located down the hall from his room. This, a stir fry with chicken, garlic, onions, ginger, shallots, orange zest, broccoli, snow peas, water chestnuts, and carrots.

A dorm with a kitchen?!? That’s awesome. My dorm had no such thing…
My dorm didn’t have a kitchen either…but that was eons ago! However, my son is currently living in dorms at Penn State…no kitchen to speak of (of course these are really nasty, old Freshman dorms). Like the dorm kitchen idea though…..
Is it wrong that Bossy’s son’s dorm food cooking is making my kids jealous? “Mom, why can’t you make that for dinner tonight?” “Pipe down — I’ve got important non-cooking things to do. Go to school.”
Wednesday’s were our pot lucks in the dorm kitchen.
Once the ladies find out that Bossy’s son is a gourmand, he will be all the rage…… oh…..the fun!!
A son raised right … now able to actually care for himself and cook good food!!!!
Bossy & Bossy’s DH done good!
Where is the Ramen??? That was dorm cooking when I was in college, 4325 years ago.
That looks slightly more nutritious and appetizing than the Kraft Mac and Cheese I always (and I mean always, unless it was a bologna sandwich) ate.
I’m very impressed by bossy’s son.
I didn’t even know what a shallot was when I was in college.
And, I can only assume, a tequilla marinade. It is college.
There’s a certain sausage dish that Bossy’s son should probably make if he wants to become famous around the Columbia campus!
He could take that bunch of veggies and throw it over a package of Ramen noodles.
Yum! I tried to cook in my dorm (even though there was a kitchen) many, many years ago, and was told I had to be on the “dining plan.” Plan = gross, I’m going to eat cereal.
I was sighing at the fall wholesomeness of that pan-full even before I knew who had cooked it!
Colette/4 is right about a guy being a cook being attractive to women. At least it worked for me. I proposed marriage to every man I met who could cook. Finally one man proposed back. To this day he cooks (salmon, anyone?) whenever we have company over.
Interesting way for Bossy Son to demonstrate to his mom he’s eating well. I”m betting she didn’t download this from his facebook.
IMPRESSIVE! You’ve raised him up good! We thought we were something else using a popcorn popper with oil when I was in school!
In my four years at school, except for the year in England, no dorms ever had kitchens. He is very lucky.
Hold the water chestnuts, I beg you.
I better Bossy’s son had a lot of takers.
I made Hamburger Helper and Rice Krispie Treats. Not at the same time though. Bossy and Bossy’s husband should be really proud!
Awesome. My college student daughter has moved into an apartment with a kitchen but still doesn’t get much more adventurous than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or cheese quesadillas.
My stir fry never looked as good as Bossy’s sons. Send me the recipe.
Wow, most impressive, Bossy and Bossy’s son. Agree, though, where’s the ramen?
I’m bringing the wine and will be there in five hours.
Smart, good looking, has an adorable Great Dane, and he cooks fabulously healthy and delicious meals, too?! Bossy’s son is the real deal. *swoon*
