I ate a fair number in grad school for a while, they got old, even for me. I learned I could grill chicken/burgers pretty easily and it was tasty stuff. I had a little Hibachi grill in the apartment, I'm half surprised it was never stolen.
Heat up some frozen peas and make boil some taters and it was good. I did not have a microwave.
Girls were impressed that I could and would cook, I'd invite them over for, um, dinner. I also had a piano that I could play reasonably well at the time. Chicks dig the long ball.
