cooking for men

For the amount of time my boyfriend stays with me now, it would be reasonable to say we live together. We kind of agreed this would happen anyway and neither of us have a problem with it, but it wasn't really planned as much as it just happened.

My roommate Sarah's younger brother and his friend are also staying with us for the time being so the house is quite full now. I had forgotten how much guys eat :-) Sarah and I eat like little birds but the guys seem to have bottomless pits. I notice for example that the time between eating is quite short. We can have supper and within an hour of eating it, they are snacking on something or another. Tonight I am making a huge pot of Chile in the slow cooker. I have never tried using the slow cooker for this, so it's a fun experiment. I am not sure if tomatoes go in chili either, there seems to be some conflicting recipes on the internet, I decided to put them in anyway.

The guys decided to go ahead and order cable for us. Despite the fact that neither Sarah or I actually watch much TV. I don't really mind though as now I don't have to download the few shows that I try to watch regularly.

The disadvantage of all this household activity is that I now get very little quality computer time. I have been very slack in studying and hardly get on irc at all. It is a disturbing trend that makes me uneasy a bit. In a way, I feel like I am being pulled away from something I like.
