So you've graduated from college eh? Congratulations. Now what? They're telling you that now you're a real adult, with real responsibilities, real bills, a real job. Or not. One thing you probably have, however, is a real appetite.

If you haven't already, one day soon you'll be moving out of the roommates/futon classes and into an apartment of your very own (or in cahoots with a significant other). That means you'll be outfitting your first real "home." Nothing says "adult" more than being able to cook something other than spaghetti and meatballs and Top Ramen for dinner.
