The HUDS blog announced today some new items for the winter menu, based on answers they received in a student survey distributed in the fall. And trust us, everything sounds delicious. We’re especially excited about the make-it-yourself Korean BBQ and “Mediterranean Mezze Mondays”! Read the full listing after the jump.

While you were masquerading about in your Halloween costumes, Harvard Police were taking care of business, dealing with everything from shutting down that party you wanted to attend to kicking cultish chanters out of the Quad.
“But, Officers, I was just trying to tell them not to touch the foot. It is for their own good.” Seriously, this first story is just three students trying to do the right thing.
10/21/09 2:45 PM – John Harvard Statue – Suspicious Activity
“Officer dispatched to a report of three individuals not allowing individuals to take pictures. Officers report that the individuals were gone on arrival.”
“They’re kids playing guns in the street. And one’s pointing his tree branch at me. And so I put my hands up, I say enough is enough. If you walk away, I’ll walk away. He shot me dead.” – Bright Eyes
10/23/09 1:27 PM – 1 Western Ave, Allston, MA – Disturbance
“Officers dispatched to a report of individuals fighting and that one individual had a stick. Officers report the individuals were waiting for a tow truck and were goofing around and all was in order.”
Dining Services? HUDS? I thought that was pesto tasted funny yesterday.
10/23/09 4:41 PM – Dining Services, 65 Winthrop St – Field Interview
“Officers observed four individuals engaging in a drug transaction. Officers observed two individuals leave the area. A field interview was conducted with the remaining two individuals who were found to be in possession of marijuana. Each individual was run for wants/warrants with negative results and sent on their way. Officers confiscated the marijuana.” Read the rest of this entry »

What a sour puss. Get it? Aww.
Occasionally our inner nerds (aka “innerds“) get so excited over a class that we feel everyone must know about it. Presenting “A Slice of Class” in which we highlight a particularly revelatory/exciting/OMG/WTF class or section:
It’s not every science section at Harvard that has one class entirely dedicated to eating lemon wedges, Oreos, strawberries, goat’s cheese, and to drinking vinegar. However, this was exactly what this went on in section this afternoon for Science of Living Systems 11 “The Molecules of Life”. Read more about how after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m always ecstatic (really, I get that excited) when I see the board menu bar in our dining halls. That one special little section of the dining hall where I am finally given the opportunity to cook, actually more like assemble, my dinner. Luckily for me, my favorite of the board menus is the most recurrent – the panzanella bar.
Panzanella is a Tuscan bread salad that traditionally contains tomatoes, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and, yes, stale bread. The dining halls put their own spin on it by also providing us with arugula, olives, and pickled onions. When the panzanella has been prepared appropriately, the slightly dense, crusty bread is mollified by the absorption of some of the oil, vinegar, and juices from the vegetables; however, it still gives the salad some texture by retaining a bit of its chewiness.
I find it to be a lovely, well-balanced salad, but am always slightly put off by the bags of pre-cubed, mass-market bread, and also miss an integral part of my meat-loving, quotidian diet: protein. Read how I improve upon the panzanella after the jump.

Hot breakfast delicacy: Pizza with egg on top.
Recently (and by “recently” we mean this morning), Noice emerged from its cozy riverside home to traverse the Yard and into those forgotten depths of Annenberg, that hallowed hall of yesteryear, in search of hot breakfast, the forgotten delicacy which upperclassmen can now only dream of.
Indeed, the hot breakfast was found, but to our great dismay, it was not as delightful as our anticipatory minds made it out to be. In fact, it was actually kind of bad. The difference between those inferior, cold plates of upperclassman breakfasts and these silver platters of toasty meals can be broken down into a simple list:
That Which Annenberg Hath Which Upperclassmen Hath Not
That’s all.
Perhaps this is simply an anomaly — perhaps Noice arrived on a bad morning? Nevertheless, Noice gives Ye Olde Annenberg Breakfast 2 out of 5 stars.

Delicious, and you made it yourself!
Today the dining halls were serving chicken wings (more like chicken skin) and our ever-recurring golden nuggets. Not being in the mood for these dining hall delicacies (out of fear for immediate heart attack), I opted for one of my favorite salad bar creations.
Barbeque chicken salad is just a good thing. It breaks up the monotony of simple green salad, is heartier and less frilly than other varieties, and most importantly, is incredibly easy to prepare when you’re in a dining hall rush. Read the quick and easy recipe, after the jump!
