What the!? You call this dinner? Should've dashed...

September 27th

Ok so maybe I am being dramatic, but the bakery would've been the better choice, I mean, I am starving now and I WENT to dinner at 5:30! I got general Tso's Chicken - I might add this seemed to be the ONLY line. The line reached all the way to the entrance of the commons when I got food. Tso's Chicken has been one of my favorite dishes the last two years. The brown rice tonight was nice, not sticky or dried out. The chicken was cooked fine, there was only a little bit of pink on the inside...and I am not puking...yet. In the past there was the problem that the chicken became soggy from being mixed with the sauce and waiting around for people to eat it. This year they have switched to pouring the sauce on top. Maybe its just me, but it seemed like a thinner sauce this year, water thin. Also, when having it poured on I thought the idea was to get it on the chicken. My sauce got poured all over my rice, leaving my chicken dry. Not really an ooo ah moment for me. Apparently the tofu version was great - of course my friend Sam also asked for extra sauce...fail on my part.

I also had the raspberry and rice pudding. LOVED it. Most of the time it is too sugary or not sweet enough or the rice is overcooked, ect. Instead everything was almost perfect. There were a few grains of rice that weren't fully cooked but it wasn't like I had to crunch my way through the bowl. During this wonderful bowl I got to listen about how the Stuff Portobello Mushrooms were way too salty -immediately qualifying it a mention in my blog. Another girl heard and immediately passed me some of her Grits...ok all of it...stabbed by a fork...and it a solid play-dough mass. For a dish that is suppose to be ground corn and have the consistency of oat meal, this was not appealing. As for taste, there really wasn't much of anything. It was just had a thick and rubbery texture.

Oh how I wish I had dashed!
