... is the cafeteria food. Cafeteria food is never good, never depicted as remotely edible in shows and movies, and often times lacking in color and shape. I'm drawing a memory of this one scene in Ned's Declassified where a brown blob of mush starts crawling off Ned's plate, and I literally expected something of that nature to happen when I first set foot in my middle school cafeteria. Luckily it wasn't that bad, but it was still just one step above edible. Not only that, but it was $4 a day for a plate of thawed out food sold in bulk at Costco, which quickly adds up if you're eating it everyday. Needless to say, I stayed away from cafeteria food in high school.
Then there's college... where dining hall food is an inevitable part of every. single. day. While I don't find it completely disgusting, I also don't find it delicious nor worth my $15 (yes, each meal is worth about $15). Despite the fact that we all have meal plans, people still surreptitiously stash away food into tupperware containers to get their money's worth... which is a good idea, no lie. I usually take a piece of fruit to go after every meal.
Anyways, all summer, I was thinking of ways I could take some extra food and turn it into something delicious. Today, Ann said basically the same words, and I got super excited because now I have someone to share that with, and so this blog was born.
Ann's asleep right now, and thus, did not join me in this post because I don't have a class until 2:40 pm. [But she does have one in the workings I see].
Tomorrow will be all about taking pictures of the Marketplace, our designated eatery at Duke, and its contents. And this weekend, I believe you can expect a method recipe for a yummy cobbler.
By the way, our individual blogs are at the top.
