Dining Services is Robbing us Blind

Update: you pay $13.75 for dinner. Yes, you and I are being robbed blind. It would cost you less to NOT have a meal plan and eat at the UC for dinner. Kreidler is suddenly starting to look WAY cheaper - go without a meal plan and just eat at the UC, saving three dollars a meal. Ridiculous...also shows that they care more about "visitors" then actual students.

I guess I should just spray the dirt on while I am annoyed. I got a text this morning saying that someone couldn't cut through one of their two pancakes. I don't know if this is more a comment on the fact that the butter knives aren't very effective or the fact that the pancakes were rockcakes - ok may be just really tough. I also watched another bag of soup be brought out of the kitchen today...I am not sure how it is suppose to be hot if it comes out in a plastic bag...

On a positive note, dinner was actually good tonight. I enjoyed a really tender chicken leg from crave with Mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans. I also had the Cheese Tortellini with pesto sauce. The actually mixed the sauce with the tortellini before they served it. It was WAY better than it has ever been before! The basil garnish  provided a fresh complimentary flavor to the pesto - which is basil. I actually dived into the tortellini - leaving everything else to get a little cold...not a good plan. I felt like the green beans were perfect but the coldness distracted from the quality. I didn't feel like I left them that long either...I did do a rotation between everything after eating half the tortellini. So I am not really sure if they lost heat really quickly or they were served warm. The mashed potatoes were good! Needed more flavor even with the gravy but it wasn't anything a little salt and pepper couldn't improve. I also asked the server for a very small piece of fish, just to compare to the Salmon. I had to confirms my past experiences since things

Dessert was good too. Think blueberry muffin made into a bread form. It also appeared to have small chunks of what I believe was butterscotch chips. SO GOOD. Moist and absolutely delicious. Oh, how sugar makes the world go round...

Apparently the beef Fajitas were amazing. I may have missed out, but I am more than content with what I had!
