Its Pizza night tonight!
Feel free to come over to our house, bring some beers and whiskey.
We will be listening to reggae slowly fading into classic rock then some psytrance.
Obviously like last time there will be mario kart and smash for the fellow nintendorks and drunk drivers!
Maybe a preset game of D&D. Doubt it, no one likes to dm with around
Have some 2 year old fire works that may end in a hospital visit and a nice fire outside to burn the heathens paper waste after.
Pizza is magarita, chilli and lime, pepperroni and motz, finaly but not least spinach blue cheese tomatoes, peppers and chilli all thin crust (havnt learnt deep dish yet)
Let the ley lines weaken!

Can anyone recommend good things to cook for a college student with a lot of funds but very little fridge space? Bonus points if its ingredients can be stored outside the fridge.

Off the top of my head, dried pasta and canned goods. Making your own spaghetti is pretty dope. Another, quicker, cheaper option is ramen with customized garnishes. Veggies, eggs, that sort of thing. Surprisingly delicious and turns normally unhealthy ramen packets into an actual meal with some nutritional value. Spam based meals are also an option, as grilled spam and eggs is damn good. My apologies if you're looking for something a little more fancy, but I lived like this, pocketing some extra cash when I was in the Air Force.

Beans and rice. Lentils*, too. And onions, lots of onions.

*Try replacing half their water with beer - it's delishus. Dark beer works best, but pretty much any type should do.

Grains, tubers and rice are probably your best option. You can make quite a pleasant, nutritious dish with egg, broccoli, rice and a few seasonings. It's fantastic when you're on a budget, though I don't know what German broccoli prices are like.

Yep. Get pasta, dried beans/lentils/rice. Save fridge space for weekly veggies and eggs, maybe a little meat if you eat it and have a freezer/cook within a day or so of purchase. Pretty standard. Most fruit that isn't berries or citrus can be kept out of the fridge if you're going to eat it in a week or so, same deal with potatoes and uncut onions (albeit for longer than that), that's an easy way to save space. Honestly you don't need much fridge space if you're not keeping a bunch of liquids or storing veggies + deli meat/cheese + yogurt cups for multiple people.

But yeah just get dried basics and weekly pick up whatever veg and protein you want to make. Try to buy smaller portions of everything perishable, especially if you don't have a freezer for meat or are using a fridge too small to have a crisper drawer or two. Despite the above, for simple no-cook food yogurt cups tend to be pretty space-efficient.

Yeah, a simple dessert could be something like Greek yogurt mixed with honey or jam. Honey itself can be left in a pantry, jam probably can. Here at least, you can buy big Greek yogurt containers for pretty cheap, though I doubt a single person could get through a litre of it before it went mouldy.

Lol.

I can go through a kilo of yoghurt in about a fortnight.

You have it with nuts and fruit for breakfast.
You use it to marinate lamb or chicken for kebabs.
You mix it with diced mint or sliced cucumber for a raita.
You add it to a can of crushed tomatoes and some spices for a curry.
You add it to pasta with some mushrooms and bacon for a quick dinner.
You can make a dessert out of it with honey.
You can blend it with fruit, water and spices to make lassi to drink.
...and many more.

It's a versatile ingredient.

I stand corrected.

Yogurt is pretty awesome. It's one of the few dairy products we lactose-intolerant people can eat without dire consequences. I go through a half-liter container every three days or so, just having some of it with breakfast every day.

[Mephisto]

Speaking of yogurt, I discovered skyr a few weeks ago. It's even thicker and creamier than Greek yogurt and probably worse for the environment as well.

The Aussie stuff is pretty good too, as long as you stay away from pineapple jalapeno.

[Arx]

I've been enjoying oatmeal with a dash of ginger and nutmeg for breakfast the last couple of days. It's really simple, but pretty decent as far nutritional quality goes.

[Yoink]

Just dropped an stirred an egg into a batch of packaged mie goreng noodles/ramen for the first time, after hearing so many people going about about how well egg goes with it. Seems alright so far, although I've only had one bite. I'll get back to you on this.

Some Yogurt.

A lot of Yogurt is "Fake" so to speak (It falls under the legal: "Well it is technically yogurt in that it is a sour tasting dairy product with bacteria" territory) and contains lots of dairy.

It doesn't matter how much dairy is in it as long as it has active bacteria. The bacteria digests the lactose so that our bodies don't have to. If by "fake" yogurt, you mean yogurt without live bacteria, then yeah, there is some of that out there. But anything with active bacteria in it is fine for lactose intolerant folks.
