Three Things I’ve Learned Without a Real Kitchen

1. You can cook almost anything in a toaster oven. Hard-boiled eggs? Steak? Spaghetti squash? If you can make it fit, it will cook. 2. You can heat almost anything in a coffee pot. Cold-brew coffee?

Undie Run

When I lived in LA for a summer, I lived more or less on UCLA’s campus. Since west coast schools get out so much later than we do, I was already there for the summer by the time their finals hit. Well, there’s this crazy UCLA tradition called UNDIE RUN, where all the undergrads strip…
