Day 10 (9/4 - Friday)

Let's get this straight -- SAGA is the bomb. Whatever you tend to think of when you think of campus dining food, here at Wheaton College the food is incredible. Let me say it in Latin: incredibilis! There are tons of options, lots of healthy foods (and a few not healthy, but they're cutting back on fried foods this year a lot), lots of ethnic foods including standing daily stations for Italian, Mexican, and oriental dishes, along with what I call affectionately "Sandwich-Land" and made-from-scratch soups and a "home cooking" section and cereals and even flavored butters.
Flavored butters.
And don't even get me started on their desserts and ice cream. Just check out their weekly menu online if you don't believe me. These are not standard, gimmicky ethnic dishes either, they're pretty authentic complete with native spices and such. In sum, it's really good.

So much so that some of my friends like to find reasons to have lunch with me whenever possible. Today I got to share lunch with two good friends (one my neighbor [see Day 4]--and one a fun Iowa friend who was in town visiting), and we had a great time.



Kate was agog at the new food stations, and even commented once that coming to SAGA felt like eating on board a cruise ship. I'd have to agree -- I feel rather spoiled here! Great food, great friends, great conversations, great laughter over this and that. Hmmm... maybe I'll do it again next tomorrow! (it's on -- PF reunion tomorrow!)
