Faire la cuisine

At the Residence Phillipe Lebon and Residence Amboise, tiny kitchenettes are places on each floor for the residents to use. The kitchen consists of a stove top with 2 burners and a sink. Whitney has a microwave on her floor and we think someone bought it and left it there (you can get them at Simply Market for about 25 euros). It's small but we've decided to start utilizing them. Whitney happened to have a tiny skillet and a little pot that someone left for her. But we invested in a larger pot and more utensils. Between the 4 us, cooking our dinners has saved us quite a bit of money. Everything so far has turned out pretty well and we end up spending about 1-3 euros per meal instead of 7-10 which is nice and we get a more rounded meal with veggies and protein, not just bread and Nutella. We don't have a freezer, but we each have mini-fridges in our rooms so we can save meat for a couple of days. We just make more trips to the store during the week to buy fresh meat, but that isn't too bad. We've been buying canned vegetables with pop tops and instant mashed potatoes. We've made pasta, shepherds pie, eggs and sausage and fried chicken so far. I recommend using the kitchens, you'll save money and it gives you something to do.
