I just lived through my very own uni student cooking horror. I was very hungry, and out of stuff that rational people eat, I had half a packet of raveoli left over, but i was too lazey to trudge over to the communal kitchen building, so i tried microwaving it in my newly obtained microwave (thanks Matt). It worked sort of, it was cooked, cooked like it had been cooked by someone who was incredibly impatient and wanted to eat now rather than wait for it to be cooked properly, but still cooked (it was warm and there where no crunchy bits).

Now all it needed was a bit of sauce, can't have pasta without sauce (or cheese for that matter, but I was out of cheese). So I looked in the fridge for sauce, nothing. desperate for a little flavour, I then began rumaging through the cardboard box that serves as a pantry in my room, i eventually found a silver packet of peaking sauce that was left over form a chicken burritos kit, now I know that as a general rule you should not mix sweet with savoury, but I reasoned to myself "how bad could it be? It's just flavouring" well to answer my own question, it was BAD. really bad, It was so epicly vile that i actually bothered to rinse of the sauce off the pasta in hot water (most people would have just thrown it out, but I'm not a starving artist/uni student for nothing you know). Even after rinsing it off, the after taste still lingered, so after eating about half of it, I threw it out.

I now had a new problem, the taste was still lingering in my mouth, it was similar to the taste you get from eating too much cheap gelatinous candy. So I quested for something to wash out the taste, at first I had dim hope as i remembered that I had recently purchased a 6 pack of whiskey and coke, but no respite, i had allready drunk them all. But the taste was still there. It was time for desperate measures, I eyed the bottle of pizza sauce sitting on top of my fridge suspiciously, then closed my eyes and took a swig. It was warm, and tasted like stale pizza sauce, compared to the peaking sauce it was an improvement, but only a marginal one. I'm definatley gonna go grocery shopping tommorow.
