What do I want to eat today? I ask myself as I pass through the Cub.
The central building on my college campus; filled with a food court, meeting areas, and cultural centers.
In front of me Carlita's, Subway, and Panda express span out across the heavily windowed room.
I look inside my wallet and see only my RDA card. Sighing, I realize I am low on money, and the only food available to me is the Carlita's restaurant or the student cafe on the way back to my dorm.
Looking down at my phone I notice that I only have a few minutes for lunch and hustle to my now only option....Carlita's
What can I eat today? I ask myself driving home from work.
Hmmmm....I could make a quick dinner or order a pizza.
I try and remember the groceries in the house that I had bought the week before.
I was pretty certain that I could make are-pas, or enchiladas...but I have a lot of grading to do tonight...do I have time to cook I wonder?
After some debate I decided that I have the time-grades aren't due till tomorrow night, and I really want the enchiladas.
The melted cheese, creamy meat, and heavenly warm sauce, it makes my stomach grumble just thinking about it!
I exit my car and walk into my home, ready to put my dinner plan into action.
I find it interesting that you mention having groceries in the dorm, after talking about RDA. I know a lot of people that completely rely on RDA and Cougar Cash for their meals, if they live in the dorms other than snacks, and rarely spend money on groceries. Or, they complain about the dorm kitchens and not wanting to cook. Do you think that there should be better kitchens in newer dorms to encourage students to cook healthy food?
