Food

Food

Some of you have asked questions about food so here goes:

Dorm food...

Already told you about the first night when Marjie had chicken feet and the food has not improved much since.  Breakfast is interesting:  gingerbread-like pastry, no fruit options, fried dough, egg/ham on an oily, squishy bread (Marjie's description).  We don't each there now.  Instead, I make us steel-cut oats each morning.  We found some walnuts and dried plums.  We add a scoop of chocolate protein powder and we are good to go!  

Lunch/dinner in the dining hall:  there are vegetarian options but the veggies are so spicy and oily.  Once I quit eating the dining hall food, my stomach has settled down.  Marjie has found some   semi-okay options.  One of her go-to meals has noodles, cabbage, and a mystery meat, possibly pork.  Not too spicy.  She has her granola bars from home to add.

Snacks:  there are some chips here in the staff living room that are intriguing.   Lays makes various flavors that are not available in the states:  Lemon-Tea flavor, Lobster & cheese, cucumber, etc.  Wild tasting...really weird.

Marjie has found a grocery store nearby that sells Coke Zero so she is a happy camper.  No Diet Dr. Pepper for me so am drinking lots of FRS and Matcha green tea.
