Thank You, Food Service Consultants!

You know, not many people have good things to say about the cafe food. Some just don't like it. Others actually like the food but like to make fun of it even more. No matter how you slice it, it's the rear of many jokes on campus.

Not from me though! I like cafe food. Mmm! Call me crazy, but more times than not I am satisfied and have a full tummy. Sometimes I wonder if people are just too picky, whether it's the new glass dishware and silverware, the food selection, or the taste of the food (not that I expect a person to like everything our Food Service Consultants whip up). I do see a place where complaints over the food may be necessary--don't misunderstand me--but seriously, can we be thankful for the food we're eating in the cafe? Especially dorm students, can we be thankful for the "free" food we're eating? I like just getting my student I.D. scanned and not forking out money. I also like not having to prepare the food or clean after myself.

I say a hearty THANK YOU! to the Food Service Consultants and to those on the food committee. Thank you for putting thought into our meals, preparing our meals, cleaning our dishes, providing our drinks--and let's not exclude the ice cream machine!--and having a smile, at least part of the time. If I didn't have the cafe, I'd be living off of microwable food, snacks, and smoothies from the Perk all year long. Not only would that mean more money output, but it also would mean less substance input. I'd have to say, a girl needs substance on a regular basis. The closest I have to that at my dorm is vegetable beef soup. Do I hear an "amen"?
