Hello again, fellow Morrow diners past and present!  Morrow is closed for dinner tonight, so we are doing a special lunch presentation of the food blog today.  The rest of the first years arrived bright and early this morning (read: 8 am), although I slept through my alarm and therefore missed the first hour and a half of their arrivals.  This also meant that I missed breakfast, and was forced to carry many refrigerators on an empty stomach.  My fellow student leaders and I were famished once 12 finally rolled around, and we trooped into the dining hall to steal some of the food that is technically meant for first years and their families.

The advertised meal for lunch was sandwiches, mexican wedding cookies, and hand fruit.  This does not do the spread they had laid out justice.  I want to have parent's weekend every weekend, because the food they make to impress them is out of control.  There were red and green peppers, tomatoes that were actually red as opposed to sort of off-white, grapes, and lettuce that was described as looking like "a fresh meadow garden".  They even sprinkled parsley on the turkey deli meat.  Overkill?  Maybe, but I was too busy chowing down to care too much.  I did not encounter anyone that ate the tuna, but the turkey was delicious and apparently the vegetables were fresh enough to make a delicious sandwich even without a panini maker (which can make a pretty terrible sandwich awesome).  I also ate grapes and drank the homemade lemonade that Smith made, which was delicious even though you could sort of feel the sugar on your tongue.  Setting the bar too high would be a mistake, even when parents are around.

This platter ain't got shit on what we had

I heard that the Mexican wedding cookies were as good as ever, although I have never enjoyed them that much.  If you like the feeling of chewing on wet Gold Bond powder with nuts mixed in, I'm sure they did not disappoint.  I, however, was disappointed by the jukebox being turned off in the middle of Take On Me by Aha.  Sometimes it just feels like the world is against me, you know?  Morrow will be closed for the next few days, but undoubtedly the jukebox will keep on rocking and so will we through orientation.  See you at Sunday brunch!
