I hope you enjoyed the Caribbean Themed dinner - too bad the only warning was on MyLuteLife...not even mentioned on Dining Services main website or their list of meal options for the day. I know I enjoyed the dinner line tonight. Often its a lot of waiting and it's not often that you over hear a great conversation. Ok, I admit it - when I am not talking or listening to a friend i eavesdrop...a lot. Its a great way to pick up information, most of it is useless but some of it isn't. Tonight I was listening to two girls discuss whether the chickpea dish was chicken. I felt I should step in when they started to talk about getting the "beef"dish. I was immediately compeled to tell her that what she was about to order was not beef...but lamb. Judging from her reaction, I am not sure if it was kinder to tell her or to let her accidentally eat Little Bo Peep's Sheep - but the reaction was definitely worth the comment - whether it helped her or not. She made the obvious choice and asked for the chickpea dish. I, on the other hand, had no problems in ordering the Lamb. I also asked for some of the chickpea dish as well. I realized that I haven't had much curry in my life. I do know that the lamb was amazingly tender and the carrots were undercooked. The chickpea dish was nice - reminded me of hummus - imagine that, as chickpeas are the key ingredient : )
The chocolate cake was fine - really I don't know. I kind of bolted it down so I could come back to my wonderful residence hall. All I remember was good frosting, a mass of possibly dry chocolate cake, and really crunchy blue sprinkles...yum...maybe I am lowering my expectations...
Did you know that whole milk is only 4% fat? Napoleon was right when he said "you could drink whole milk if you wanted" - I now have no guilt in getting 2% - besides skim is often too thin for my tastes, unless its for cereal.
