Cooking (poor Ted)

I'm a little worried about cooking for myself once I get to site. Don't worry Mom, I'll manage, but I'm a bad enough cook in America where I had electricity, running water, and an unlimited supply of ingredients. The other day we had a cooking class about how to cook simple and nutritious meals with the limited supplies available. We were given about 10 staple ingredients (rice, tomatoes, eggs, bread, etc) and had to create as many dishes with them as possible. My group attempted fried rice, tomato soup, and French toast. The French toast turned out pretty well. We also learned how to kill and cook a chicken. Each group got their own live chicken to kill and include in their meal. We named our chicken Ted, then cooked him into our fried rice. I've heard the expression "running around like a chicken with its head cut off" and now I can also say I've seen it in action. Once I get to site I think I'll try to avoid any more chicken murders. Thankfully we were given a cookbook compiled by past volunteers, so hopefully I won't starve.
