Thoughts and Apologies

I’ve never done so much writing in my life, and somehow none of it has gotten here, where I want to see it the most. A whole semester of food writing class, and I haven’t been able to make a single post. I really shouldn’t even be posting now. God knows I have more than [...]

A Potato Kind of Day

Weekends around this time of the semester are extremely contradictory. I’d like to say that they’re calm and relaxing, and in a way, they are. We stay in our pajamas all day and quietly do our homework (when we’re not being distracted from said homework by our computers or each other). The only sound is [...]

Not for the Bashful: My Mystery Ailment

I feel as though I’ve completely disappeared from the blogosphere in the past two weeks. Originally, I was planning to wait and post because I had forgotten my camera cords at home and hadn’t the time to drive home to get them. Cineaste Magazine has also started back up for me, meaning another round of [...]

The Pitfalls of Food Shopping: Chobani Champions

Now that I have an actual kitchen, I actually have to do my own food shopping, something that rarely happened before now. Let’s just say, I’m a rookie, but I’ve learned a couple of things through my shopping experience. It’s important to think rationally when you’re shopping. What will I eat this week? How much [...]

Summer Blog Project: Celiac Teen’s Croissants

It’s official. Summer vacation is over. I’ve packed all of my belongings and left for Rider University and now I type to you from the desk in my new on-campus apartment. All the anxiety I had about moving in has evaporated (though it’s been replaced on worries about how to juggle classes, work, the internship [...]

Deliteful Foods for a Deliteful Weekend

About a year ago, my friend Lindsay mentioned to me that she knew a gluten-free place around here known as Deliteful Foods. Deliteful Foods caters to many different allergies and those without allergies who want to eat healthy. So we went and I loved it. I remember buying brownie mix. Mmmmm. But I hadn’t been there since! [...]

I’m Not Alone: A Gluten-Free Discovery

It has recently come to my attention that I’m not the only gluten-free casualty on Rider University’s campus. Actually, it was today at lunch that my good friend, Kevin, mentioned the name of someone else that has Celiac Disease. Though I could never say I was happy that this person should share in my suffering, [...]

Bronc Buffet: Not Gluten-Free, but Still Fun

Each month, Rider holds a “Bronc Buffet” (please, don’t ask me what a bronc is). Everyone gathers in the dining hall (Daly’s) and has free food, as well as some mildly good entertainment. Since Halloween is nearing, this buffet was themed thusly. Everything had webs and pumpkins and fake spiders all over the place. Oh [...]
