The Bitchen

Posted on June 19, 2008February 6, 2017 by emiglia

I found these pictures from forever ago and decided to share.

Right after senior year of high school, my two best friends and I went backpacking in Europe for five weeks. We mostly stayed in hostels, but at the very end, my friend Debby’s cousin let us stay in his apartment for ten days. We broke out our (very lacking) cooking skills and made some packaged tortellini and a salad in the “bitchen,” so dubbed because it was both bathroom and kitchen. We still talk about it now. Whenever I think about how little counter space I have, I try to think of the bitchen and the cutting board that folded down over the toilet, so that the most convenient place to stand and slice was in the shower.

    That is too funny, and this is the kind of memories we all need. Love it!

    haha… This is hilarious! I never sliced vegetables in the shower before. Very creative. hehe. Those are the best memories. Yesterday I saw a video of a guy who makes his grilled cheese sandwich on with an iron on an ironing board. I get you can call that ‘closet cooking’. 🙂

    Zen- I knew a girl who made grilled cheese on a hair straightener. Don’t try it… it ruins it… but it was hilarious to watch.
