Food at the Binz: Part 4 In a Series
Yes, Food at the Binz has taken a very very long hiatus from regularly scheduled viewing, I hope to bring it back with this special edition. In fact, this edition is so special that we feature food not from the Binz Refectory, but from the North Campus Cafeteria. Anyhow, I learned it was theme night for eating there, and that the theme was “Cabin Fever Reliever.” Markoe speculated that we would eat bamboo shoots, which we all concluded would be high in fiber and good overall.
Obviously, “Cabin Fever Beater” as I mistakenly called it, did not involve bamboo shoots. Indeed, it was quite tasty, and smoothies were offered, too. I thought they would just offer a lot of alcohol to relieve the fever, which was wrong and was not even funny when I suggested it. In fact, the number of people who were even mildly amused by that comment was probably -1 (a negative score meaning the opposite of amused), so I am unsure why I rehash the event here. Regardless, this was my first time consuming deep-fried macaroni and cheese, and it was good, even with ketchup. The rest of the food was good, no strange spices to give weird aftertastes, too. The best part of the meal was our carpeted floor, the first time I have eaten in that wild carpeted region of the North cafeteria.
Unfortunately, I do not think I will be I will be consuming deep fried mac and cheese anytime soon, due to my raging stomach illness that ensued almost immediately after the dinner. Nobody is sure where it came from, though Mykala and I have a rather good hypothesis (from which I will spare you). Would I recommend this dinner? Yes. However, I would stick with the french toast sticks (not pictured) in place of the deep-friend cheesiness. Additionally, I would have some ice cold water on hand to offset the grease (and possible grease fires if your friend has a lighter and brushes it too close to your fried’ness … an even which, alas, did not happen to me). Food at the Binz may upgrade to Food at St. Thomas. Be well, and eat better than well.

The other day I was wondering what could be worse for you than mac & cheese. I hadn’t thought about battering and deep frying it. Each of those bricks of deep fried pasta is what, a million grams of fat?
That captchka is super hard to read on a dim laptop screen….

Yeah, it has to be at least a million per brick … I wonder if it is what they feed people recovering from starvation. Would probably explode their digestive system.
Anyhow, the text on the security image (what I believe you were speaking of) is now a bit darker, hopefully facilitating easier reading.
