There are several niches of dining. There’s restaurant dining. There’s “cooking yourself a nice meal” dining. There’s “I don’t care any more; I’m eating a whole box of still-frozen pizza snacks” dining. For me, however, there’s a whole other category of “supermarket” dining. This comes into play when I’m short on time and/or motivation, but […]
Every so often, Weshop adds some eye-catching items to its inventory that merit their own article. This year, there have been many new additions that have become popular among the student body, and we decided to focus on three: one study snack, one meal item, and one dessert. With finals coming up in just a […]
As the final weeks of the semester roll around, people watch their amounts of work increase and their remaining dining plan meals and points drop. The Wesleyan meal plan is a stressor for many who feel that their money does not buy them enough food to dine comfortably and healthfully for the whole semester. Others, […]
As a school with an estimated 700 undergraduates who identify as Jewish, Wesleyan’s willingness to accommodate the kosher-for-Passover demographic is hardly a surprise. The wide range of kosher-for-Passover options is a particular delight to the Wesleyan Jewish community. The holiday, which takes place this year from April 14 through April 22, mandates that Jews not […]

However, the muffins at Pi Café are impossibly huge and probably the antithesis of health, so I do my best to stay away. In an attempt to be healthy, my friend […]
Peanut sauce. Everyone has strong feelings about it. If you’re allergic to peanuts, you hate it. If you’re not allergic to peanuts, you love it. Of course, peanut sauce isn’t necessarily the best recipe to publish on the second night of Passover. Noodles, traditionally served with peanut sauce, are banned for a portion of the […]
I recognize that spring is upon us and that this soup recipe is therefore about a month late, but it’s still too good not to share. Though it’s definitely the wrong season, there’s still a chance you can take advantage of this recipe on rainy days. However, if it’s anything like the past two springs, […]
For many prospective students, making the transition from high school to college can be daunting. During my time as a prefrosh, my concerns were fairly standard: will I make friends? Will my roommate think I’m weird? Will I think that my roommate is weird? What if I have to eat all my meals in a […]
Cooking can be a great way to bring a program house together and to foster independence while residents learn to live away from home. Full House, the red-trimmed Victorian on the corner of Washington Street and High Street, has capitalized on this approach with its program theme: food. Outhouse, located on High Street, has also […]
There are a whole host of options for eating on campus when you visit—namely, all the places you might eat as a student. However, whether you are planning to stay here for the next four years or are only checking Wesleyan out for a couple of nights, discovering the off-campus dining scene is most likely […]
