It took me
1 month
It made me
have a full tummy

How I did it: Well, I moved into a new place that had a kitchen.  This was a major step, because I just couldn't eat microwave dinners often.Once I had the kitchen, I went and bought a bunch of supplies for my own personal 'starter kitchen'.  I bought a bunch of herbs and spices, oil, lemon juice, flour, sugars, etc.  This is the most pricey part, but once you have it, no need to refill for quite some time.The first week was the hardest,… Read how I did it…

learn morse code
got a start 2 months ago

I downloaded a program onto my computer to help me learn morse code. It’s based of the Koch method of learning, which starts out with just two letters at full speed.

a kitchen 9 months ago

Currently, I’m held up in a small place with just a microwave. Not very condusive to my desire to cook. In a few months, I’ll be moving and I made my top priority a place with a full kitchen. I’ll still have a microwave, but now I’ll have a stove and oven. I’m so excited.
