Most Exciting Meal of the Year

So one of my favorite meals to eat is the French Toast Slam from Denny's Restaurant. Now you may be wondering, "wow that's kind of weird and random, why that?" Well it's not really the meal that makes me like it so much, it's when and where I eat it that makes it special. I only eat it once a year when I go to our family's favorite vacation spot, Williamsburg, VA. We don't even eat at the Denny's in VA, it's actually in a place called Breezewood, PA. The Denny's there is themed as a 50's roadside diner. Inside it has sparkly seats and an authentic feel.It is always bustling with customers and the smell of breakfast food hits you right as you walk in the door. I guess it means alot to me because going to Williamsburg, VA is a family tradition since we've vacationed there every year in July since I can remember. My family is so traditional, so we end up doing the same things there every year including eating at alot of the same restuarants and eating the same meals. But this particular meal means alot to me because when we get to Breezewood, we are about halfway to our destination and we always eat at this Denny's. And I always end up getting the French Toast Slam each time. This meal is with out a doubt delicious, the warm fluffy french toast, melted butter, powdered sugar, and gooey syrup make a delectable combination. However, I think it symbolizes the start of one of my favorite weeks of the year. It symbolizes the start of my family's vacation and one of our own traditions. When I sit eating the French Toast Slam I know I'm in for a good week and I'll make new memories and reminisce old memories at a place I call my second home. While eating at the Denny's in Breezewood, I sit with my family and can't help but become so excited about the week ahead and know by afternoon I'll be in beautiful Williamsburg, VA, a place I think about all the time. I honestly think if I ate the French Toast Slam any other time of the year, it wouldn't taste as good. It just wouldn't be as special. I think this is a good example of how food symbolizes togetherness and how it brings friends and family together. For me, it symbolizes a time for my family and I to start a week together only with each other and nothing else in the way. Eating my French Toast Slam every year is truly the start of a wonderful week.

Campus Food

Hey Guys!!!

So have you guys ever wondered if our campus food is healthy? Like do you think the food they serve at say Marketplace or Mirror Lake or the rpac is good for you? Well I think that all the places on campus to eat are generally healthy with each place having healthy choices to choose from. I really think you could eat healthfully if you tried at each place on campus. For example, if you went to Mirror Lake you could get a chicken sandwich, fruit cup, and a milk and I'd say that would be pretty healthy. Yet you could also go to Mirror Lake and get a cheeseburger, fries, and a sugary soft drink and that would be a different story. I guess on campus they give you the choice as a student to make your decisions on what to eat and whether it's healthy or not. So I was wondering, do you think OSU should try to make the food they serve on campus healthier or keep it the same. I know when some family friends came to visit they noticed at marketplace that it was pretty healthy and were impressed with the foods they served. Whenever my dad asks what I ate that day, he notes that it is pretty healthy and I tend to eat different things on campus. I'd have to say that for the most part OSU dining is pretty healthy, it just depends on what you get and what choices you make. Let me know what you think!!
