Learning How to Cook

Going to college has made me grateful for having a kitchen. Yes, this will show how much I like the kitchen thus perpetuating the woman stereotypes. 
Over break i've perfected my red velvet cupcakes and cookies.... kind of. Earlier today my brother asked me, "What do i set the oven to?" I asked him, "for what? what are you baking?" To which he said, "cookies! what else do we bake in this house?" And he's right our oven is pretty much the birthplace of all things sweet and delightful while the stove holds the key to making delicious Mexican food and other dishes. 
As the date to move back into my dorm looms closer and closer a few things remain clear and inevitable:
1. i will not have an oven
2. i will be reduced to eating crappy cafe food. :(
Cooking is something that I have taken for granted, when i was younger i used to think it was one of the most difficult time consuming, unrewarding activities one could do. I didn't really understand how "cooking" could be a hobby, it all makes sense. As a woman, i have no problem saying "i like the kitchen" i won't go so far to say that that's the only place i belong, although i know many who would disagree.
