Hi everyone im a student in college at the university of
wisconsin-madison and i was wondering if anyone had any fun recipes for me to cook. I wanted to make a good pasta and chicken dish that wouldn't take too much time or cost too much money to make. Any ideas? |

Try Googling for recipes for: Chicken Tetrazinni (I probably spelled it wrong) Chicken Cacciatore Chicken Fettuccini To save money, simmer either a whole chicken or chicken thighs (whichever is cheaper per pound) until the meat is tender, then remove it from the bones. Also get rid of the skin, fat, cartilage, and other ickies. The broth can be used in some of the recipes, or you can just drink it. |

It's so much more simple to skip the caps, skip the punctuation and even skip the word itself, i.e. why bother to type "you" when you can just type "u"? Can't wait to see what they do when they go to work in a business setting and have to send email to the boss... ![]() |

College students should at least > know how to use proper punctuation and capital letters (before > they get to college, even). Don't hold your breath. This situation is not improving. A friend of mine taught a college course called "Research Methods" for juniors. The friend had just arrived in this country a year earlier from Puerto Rico, at the age of 23. Except for the occasional slip-up, like saying "floor" instead of "ground", her English was magnificent. 1/3 of her students rote so baddlee she tole them cleen it up or flunk the course. All the students were from NY State, born and raised here. She flunked 9 of them. I saw the papers they submitted. It was completely impossible to figure out what they were trying to say. My friend started taking English in her junior year of high school and continued in college (in PR). She decided the classes were boring, so she began watching English children's TV, like Sesame Street, and others where the it seemed the language was closest to "proper English". She videotaped some of them so she could pause the programs and compare what she was hearing to what was in her textbooks. It worked. |

We need to know what your cooking facilities and equipment are before offering any real advice. Do you live in an apartment or a dorm? Do you have a stove or would you be cooking on a hot plate? What sort of pots & pans and other kitchen equipment (such as a strainer for the pasta) do you have available? It really doesn't take much, just a few basic kitchen items. Jill |

I audited a literature class at the local state university some years
ago. The professor was over 60 years old. She was a stickler for detail, as she should be, on the papers turned in on for a grade. In the email that she sent to the class, she didn't bother to correct her own typos, capitalize or, in most cases, to punctuate. Apparently she thought that writing in a way that makes it easy for the reader to read was a matter of respect that only went in one direction. I quit a religious group after I begged the person in charge of communications to use ordinary capitalization and punctuation in her email. Addresses were particularly the worst. I'd spend ages trying to figure out what was meant. It wasn't worth it. The disease is spreading. I can't see that it has anything to do with the young or those attending college. --Lia |

I wanted to make a good pasta and chicken dish that > wouldn't take too much time or cost too much money to make. Any ideas? I don't usuallly respond to such vague inquiries but I don't see anything cooking-related in all this kvetching about how the world is going to an ungrammatical, uncapitalized, misspelled hell. So here's a chicken dish, and three reasons to try it. First, it tastes quite good. Second, you can make it the day before and it will be even better the next day. Third, later learning the original version of the recipe instead of this simplified one could get you more interested in cooking. Oh, as to pasta -- serve this with boiled wide noodles like fettucine. It's a chicken stew in red wine, a simplified version of Coq au Vin. Fry 4 strips of bacon and remove them to a paper towel. Brown 2.5 - 3 lbs. of chicken thighs, or a large cut up chicken in the bacon fat. Remove. Saute a large sliced onion in the same pan until just barely beginning to color. Add some sliced mushrooms and cook for a minute or two. Or add canned mushrooms if that's all you have. Turn the heat down to a medium low setting. Add back the chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and thyme. Crumble the bacon and add it. Now pour in about a cup of beef stock/broth and about a cup of hearty red wine. Cover and simmer very gently for about 40 minutes. Stir in a generous amount of chopped parsley in the last five minutes. If you make it well ahead, which is recommended, you can chill it in the fridge. This seems not only to blend the flavors but lets the fat come to the surface and congeal, making it easy to remove. Then just reheat it on the top of the stove. Be sure to check whether it needs more salt and pepper. |

I wanted to make a good pasta and chicken dish that > wouldn't take too much time or cost too much money to make. Any ideas? Chicken thighs are very inexpensive and flavorful. I like to take a package of chicken thighs and make a simplified version of chicken cachatory out of them. Just rinse four good size chicken thighs under running water to clean them. Then dry them on some paper towels. Take a hot non-stick pan and add a capful or two of olive oil and spread the oil over the surface of the pan. Then add the chicken thighs and cook them over medium heat for about ten minutes per side until the skin is golden brown. Sprinkle some garlic powder and fresh ground pepper over the chicken thighs on both sides, pour enough tomato sauce over the thighs to cover them, then cover the pan with a tight lid and cook for about ten minutes over low heat. Flip the thighs over, spoon some of the sauce over the chicken, and cover the pan again and cook gently for another ten minutes. While you're doing this, boil up some of your favorite pasta or just make some plain white steamed rice. Serve the chicken over the rice or pasta with some of the sauce. To make this a bit more satisfying, slice up some mushrooms, green peppers, and onions, then saute them in the pan before you add the chicken. Just saute the vegies for a minute or two in some olive oil, then set them aside until the last ten minutes of time and cook them in with the chicken and tomato sauce. This works great and it goes well with a green salad, plus you get enough food for at least two meals. |

I took the lead from him. Yes, he is older than me (not much older.) To the original poster, I recommend learning how to cut up a chicken. It's not fun, but it is satisfying to be able to do it, and it'll save you a bunch of money. If you can't do that, buy turkey legs and braise them (cook slowly in a covered skillet with just a little bit of water and chopped onion and maybe a carrot.) When they fall apart, pick the meat off and use it any number of ways. Best regards, Bob |

I certainly don't want to encourage mass action against that guy or his university ISP. Unless he breathes the wrong way or something. :-) |
