I had a cookie from a mexican bakery with my coffee for breakfast, tater tot hotdish( I know, I know...actually it wasn't that bad, but hunger is the best seasoning) in the school cafeteria with my students for lunch, and I have no idea what we're doing for dinner. I kind of feel like making Vegetable Soup. I have conferences tonight, so it's going to be crazy. Not much of a CH today, but last night we went to eat at Manana, and the two of us shared a chicken burrito with salad, rice, beans, a mexican soda, tortillas and a pupuseria(I don't know if I spelled that right). Ten bucks with food left over! We also went to the Tea House for lunch, and had pork buns, scallion pancakes and kung pao chicken. They had really good lunch specials, but I wouldn't say it was my favorite. I'm not a huge Chinese fan though.

Otherwise, this thread will get moved over to the General Topics board. For what it's worth, I had oatmeal and coffee, then a cup of chili and salad bar at my office cafeteria (Aramark). I'm now finishing my "Starbucks" French Roast coffee (also from my company's convenience store/espresso bar). Also very non-Chowish, although our company cafeteria is excellent (believe it or not). I have no problems eating there. Wed Mar 19 10:27:48 -0700 2008 3507534 11110 MSPD 1 3507575 My Tivo downloaded a recipe from the NY Times for short ribs braised in coffee and red wine. I am going to try that tonight. Wed Mar 19 10:32:47 -0700 2008 3507534 176051 fieldtrip 1 3507581 Hi Folks - sorry for the interruption, but please keep the replies focused on local chow.
