Hello, my friends and readers. How are you guys?

I am sick for the weather changing purpose. I got cold for a few days and it is taking no name to leave me. I am taking medicines but still it is not leaving me away.

Today in my hostel the cook did not cook for two times once only in the morning she cooked our breakfast. And in the lunch and dinner she did not cooked our food because of some problems. So we had to manage our cook without the cook. I am going to share how everything finished well for the day.

If you are searching the photography of mine then I can say you would get them tomorrow. So you have to wait a day more.

Boys cook their own food?

Well, most of the time we boys don't cook their own food. Because if we live in the house then mother makes the cook for us. And if we live in the hostel then there remains an women who does the cook for everyone 3 times a day. So we boys don't have to cook our food to eat. But if we have to eat some lite foods then we can eat by cooking ourselves like noodles, pasta etc.

But if the food comes about the main food then there is always someone who does the cook for us. And sometimes there are some boys who knows how to cook in the need times because they have experiences. And if you are staying in the hostel then there is a common thing like that in a month about a day or two the aunt or women who cooks for the students, does not come to cook. Then some of the students manages to eat in other friends hostel or sometime in the hotel. And also some boys goes to the home for a vacation if the delay of cooking days goes more than a day. Even I do the same. haha!

But the problem begins, if you don't want to pay more for the two times food as you are living in the hostel and no chance of going home. And you know the hotel food quality is not healthy enough and the price is too high. So sometimes some students have to cook together in the hostel if they have much problem with the money. I mean just take a look if 5 students have to eat for two times then they would need about $10 but if they does the bazar of needed elements and cooks together some normal healthy staff then the cost goes down and a healthy food could be served. Even the cost could be less than $4!

What we did on that situation?

Well, we also faced that problem and as we all are students so we did not wanted to pay much for two time foods. As we have got 5 students in two rooms so we thought to make our food at the hostel!

One of my roommate has got rice cooker and electric stove in the hostel. And one of my roommate is good in cooking with experience. We decided to cook food for two times and in the hostel and we went to the bajar for buying the necessary things for cooking like rice, eggs, potatoes, pepper , onion, garlic, tomatoes and carrots with almost 3.5$ and these were enough for two times food. We took everything at the needy amount like not more or not less.

What was made for the lunch?

We cooked the rice in a rice cooker and that was easy. And we also put some potatoes into the rice cooker with the rice so that the potatoes gets boiled and we can make some mashed potatoes to eat with the rice.

And beside that we fried some eggs in the electric cooker and made our lunch. Well we also made tomatoes and carrots mixed salad with the mashed potatoes. And we made this way our lunch for today. And the lunch was really tasty enough! Well I forgot to take any photos!

What we made for the dinner?

Yeah, that is what we have cooked together for the dinner. Can you recognize that food we made? That is the Hotchpotch that we made tonight for the dinner. And we made it in the rice cooker you can see.

We also thought to fry a few eggs for serving with the Khichdi. Hotchpotch is called khichdi in our country.

We normally fried the eggs with salt and oil as we made Khichdi in other side. And after that we also made the mixture of carrots and tomatoes salad. And after cooking everything we finished our dinner.

And after all we had a tasty dinner together and we hostel mates had a lot of fun while cooking the food. There is another taste and fun when you make your own food and it is still better than the food from hotel or restaurent. The cost is low and the food quality is good.

That was our day without the cooks food. The first time I had this kind of moment in my hostel life. So I thought to share this mo.ent with you guys. Thanks for reading my experience about cook your own food. I know most of you guys also cook your own food as a boy or girl. Have a good time every friends.
