Introduction:
College students fall into two categories, they are Lazy or Busy.  Therefore every recipe here makes one portion and most have no cleanup at all afterwards.  If it takes more than 1 line to describe, it's too complicated for this cookbook.

Notes:
When I say "bowl" or "plate" I mean one that is very microwave safe. No plastic!
* If a starred instruction is left out, your meal may explode and leave a mess.
**Remember vegetables are never peeled, way way too much effort!  (you may want to wash them, standard)

Times:
All times are in minutes and based on my ancient microwave, you should probably half all the times or-
Buy me a new microwave!
I am a college student and would really appreciate it if you would help me buy a new microwave so I can update the times! I guarantee it will be used very well. $1 or $5 suggested donations. Thank you!

Total so far: $10.50
