Student at university shared the 2br. house with 4 other dudes, in Poughkeepsie NY in the mid 90s, 2 who lived there originally had the bedrooms, me and one guy got the dining room we dividend with furniture, milk crates & curtains.... everyone had a good time in the living room hearing me and one of my dates fucking...like the entire crew and their friends lined up like judges at a field sporting event
The bathroom was always wet.... every surface
the boiler would often shut down, freezing us....most of the time on the weekends when we couldn't get it running again
prostitutes would walk up to our door
the oil pipe to the boiler leaked outside
2 dogs & a snake as well, nothing in the fridge except garlic and weed (how my friend paid for his college tuition)
Ah yes, being in College and meeting with my garlic dealer was always such a highlight.
So, the garlic was there because we bought a 3L tin of olive oil, we would get loads of bread from school and drank wine
We were culinary students, so the wine was 'necessary' and since we had to make a choice about spending money we spent it on olive oil, garlic and wine.
A solid career investment, if you will.
As a chef of ~20 years, I completely understand and approve.
