Shiina Sylande, Ghetto Chef

Being an undergraduate student in the UK, I am naturally tight for money to the point where I have to live off very little money over the summer, let alone all year round.
Now, being a gamer and having an impulsive buying habit, I make an effort to save as much money as possible. To that end, I live in a shared dorm.

So when summer came this year, I made an effort to save as much money as possible for my other compulsive habits. And, well.... the results of which I've only just this moment realized.

Its 4am as I write this. I'm currently cooking extremely cheap bacon for a snack. Bacon is love, bacon is life. However, the way in which I'm doing it...

Living in a dorm means I have neighbors, and said dorm being cheap my neighbors are fucking terrifying.

I'm not insane enough to go make noise in the kitchen at 4am, being stabbed isn't exactly on my to-do list.

To that end, I am cooking the bacon in my own room, without having to use the stove.

The normal idea would be to use a microwave. It comes out horrid, but y'know.. it works. Me being me, however...
I am cooking it over a toaster.

I should clarify; I'm not holding it over it on a stick, that would be mad. I am, however, cooking it in a frying pan... over my toaster.

No, literally.

Its been surprisingly successful so far, although it smells like pop tarts for some reason.

So yes, I declare myself ghetto chef of the year.
