Cooking
Our cafeteria, Baldwin, offers a good variety of food. Most students would like to see some improvements to it, but I think that the staff down there is doing just fine. The food in my opinion is pretty darn good. The only think I would like to see change is that a hot meal is offered all day instead of just the times during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I sometimes go in there around three in the afternoon, but there is nothing that I want to make myself.
Besides that I love going to the cafeteria and eating with my friends. It is a great way to relax from the stress of class and homework. Then after were done eating, we will watch sports on the TV’s down in the Old Keller. I spend at somewhere between two and three hours a day in Baldwin.
Now recently Baldwin tried removing trays to see if they would cut back on waste. I wasn’t so happy about this. I run cross country and track which means that I need a lot of food to recover after practice. I’ll end up using two plates, a bowl, four glasses, a soup bowl, and a smaller plate for dessert. After running 10+ miles at practice, the last thing I wanted to do was go up in the long Baldwin line four or five times to get all my food. I understand were the staff is coming from, but it really inconveniences a lot of us.
When I don’t go to Baldwin, I like to cook my own meals as opposed to ordering form Hungry Howies. In fact one Friday morning, I decided to cook breakfast for my girlfriend. Only thing is the stove in the basement didn’t have a vent over it. So the smoke from cooking collected and the fire alarm went off at 7:40 in the morning. I made a lot of people in the dorm mad. I swear I’m not a bad cook though; the real culprit was an ineffective ventilation system. Ok, ok well I also forgot to open the window. Moral of the story cooking is better than ordering, but sometimes less effective than just going to Baldwin.
