Plus, as I mentioned, I ate microwaved noodles.
My mom keeps promising to teach me to cook, probably to spite my stepmom when she taught me a bit of cooking last year. My mom still hasn't taught me anything aside from a half-assed how-to for scrambled eggs.
Microwaved noodles are an excellent place to start, actually, imo. The first step on the road to culinary enlightenment is realizing you can put those noodles in other things, and other things in those noodles.
Like, what I'm eating right now is freaking delicious, and all it is is two different sorts of microwaved noodles mixed together with instant mashed potatoes, some cheese, and re-warmed leftover chicken, with (portions, since using the full seasoning packs on these things is a little excessive) of the various seasonings thrown in plus some pepper. Cooked the lot of it in the microwave. Noodles go together with a lot of stuff, and a lot of stuff goes together with noodles. They're a pretty good base to start experimenting with.
If you've got bread and a toaster, chopped up toast is also an excellent additive to whatever you're cooking. Discount croûtons! Or just straight up croûtons if you feel like seasoning them. Honestly doesn't go all that well with plain noodles, but noodles thickened with something like mashed potatoes, or drained of the broth (which is perfectly tasty drained into a cup and drank, most of the time), and it's pretty solid for thirty cents and less than ten minutes.
The simple rules of ultra-beginning cooking:
Rule 1: Take what's on hand you find edible.
Rule 2: Heat until safely edible.
Rule 3: Stick it all in a bowl.
Rule 4: Stir until well mixed.
That's it.
