This goes back a bit, but it still makes me smile! While in college, we lived on a mixture of cafeteria food, fatty fast food burgers, and greasy fries. All left much to be desired. One night late, after my room mate and I had both fallen asleep for the night, we both suddenly woke up.. . .at 3 am, the incredibly enticing smell of grilled meat was wafting through the windows of our dorm room. As far as we knew, nothing smelling that good had been cooked on campus ever before, and it was intoxicating. By 3:30 am, knowing that sleep was not going to happen unless we satisfied our sudden craving, we woke up a dorm mate (who smelled nothing), borrowed her car, and drove around until we found an all night grocery. We bought a couple of steaks & a few basic seasonings like salt and pepper, and headed back to the dorm where we cooked an outstanding steak dinner in a toaster oven. By the time we finished, there was just enough time for a couple of hours sleep & a quick shower before making it to our morning classes, but it was well worth it. This was by far the best meal I had during my four years on campus, and one of my favorites ever!

I love something called "Rocks" that we always make at Christmas. . .these are hearty molasses/cinnamon/raisin/pecan cookies and they are scrumptious!
