Warning: Image heavy post.
Anyways, back at home, I never, literally never, did any cooking. So, the fastest/first thing I learned to cook was this vegetable-chicken soup concoction. In this new environment, I was totally fine with eating that, and only that, for the rest of the year because I felt I didn't have the time/energy to learn anything else. Cooking rice also took me a while to learn, but that was required (for me) anyways, so I was ok struggling through that.
But one day visiting a friend’s dorm, she showed me how to scramble eggs.

(Scrambled egg with shrimp) |
Then, I recalled how to hard boil eggs. Ta-da! My first real cooked meal.

(This is actually deviled eggs. But whatevs, still boiled.) |
Then one day, I decided that, instead of boiling chicken, I’ll try stir-frying it. Instant success on my first try- white, golden brown, with a crunch.

Sadly, I was never able to reproduce this though... :(
Nice memory tho :') |
And it smelled delicious.I was also stunned because i did not look up ANY recipes for either of these meals. So, imagine my ridiculous joy in discovering that I could improvise learning how to cook!!!
So basically what are the things I can cook now?

(Another beef steak.) |
I'm still working on my pasta though.
However, I will say I have one big. Fat. Weakness. Tomatos- between that wretched tomato soup noodle paste that I concocted when I was younger to that tomato soup the other day, cooking tomatos have always been a thorn in my side.
Extra: My first hard boiled egg set included this little guy xD
Anyways, look forward to more improvement!
