Well, I asked a friend to describe me for this, and his reply was:

“deliciously evil, yet naive to the concept”

Will this help you pick a recipe for me to be named after? Thanks.

Zenster, could I have a pretty easy going recipe thats easy to make and provides enough nutrition to make up for being a college student?

I forgot to mention that I cook primarily Italian, Creole, and Chinese, although sometimes it’s hard to tell which I had in mind.

Thanks **Zen.**

Potatoes and other yummy goodies surrounded by _golden, fleecey_ scrambled eggs. This dish is _engineered_ to satisfy a _scholar’s_ appetite for knowledge without going _overboard_;

I am so sorry **racinchikki** , I beg your pardon. You get the first recipe gift certificate:

§------------§  
Please choose the style and course (as in Italian dessert, German main) of recipe that you would like and I will generate one specifically for you. I recall you needing it to be simple because of your small kitchen, so I will compensate for that. I have a killer potato salad that I’m thinking would be perfect for you. Let me know.

Thank you Zenster –

Yes, I have quite the small kitchen. A main course’d be great, I have a severe lack of them in my cookbook (all I have is desserts. Dozens of them). Style? Well, in my mother’s kitchen, “style” means “basted or fried?” It’s heartbreaking. 😉
