Tuesday, November 8th, 2011Tegan And Sarah Eat Better Than Thou
Sunday, October 23rd, 2011
I've seen better at Global.
In keeping with our plan to use other people’s hobbies and passions to distract you from all that work you should be doing, we bring you the Sam Siftons of Saratoga Springs: Tegan and Sarah. These girls eat at some pretty nice places in town, and while there are only six reviews posted so far, there’s a lot to look at. Pay close attention and you’ll have a good idea of where you want to spend your dollars during the much-anticipated Restaurant Week or on a cute ‘date’ date (be warned: a few crepes and limonades add up fast).
Happy Thanksgiving
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009
Pack up your bags and stash your stashes, it’s time for break. I’m pointing my car south and not stopping until my mouth is full of cranberry sauce. I extend my deepest condolences to those who have class today and hope you make it home to your respective suburban homes before morning.
Local News: Lazy Housemate Makes Hot Dogs
Monday, October 12th, 2009
SCRIBNER VILLAGE—This Sunday, for the first time all year, Macrury B resident Josh Friedberg made a meal to be shared with the three other residents of his house.
Friedberg, who is, according to anonymous sources, “a lazy piece of shit” who “never washes his dishes” and “leaves his dirty socks on all the fucking furniture” is rumored to be least helpful and least dependable member of the house.
Sources have also confirmed that Friedberg is a giant mooch who never has any money and takes three weeks to pay you back the ten dollars he borrowed for pizza. He has never so much as lifted a finger to help with any type of food preparation this year.
All that changed on Sunday.
Friedberg, in an unprecedented display of generosity, removed three hot dogs from their packaging and placed them in a frying pan on the stove for fifteen minutes while he watched SportsCenter in the next room.
“I can’t believe Josh made hot dogs,” said Pine C resident Sam Hines. “I’m not sure how we’re supposed to split three hot dogs between four people though. Does that mean everybody gets two thirds of a hot dog? Wait, that’s not right.”
The hot dogs were served, sans bun, in the lid of a Tupperware container.
Inauguration Day Feast
Monday, January 19th, 2009
Several weeks ago the napkin comment board at the entrance of the D-Hall caught my attention, someone had taken the time to write out a suggested inauguration day dinner menu using various puns involving the name of our President-elect and his Vice President. Obviously hilarious, the list included, among many others, “Sloppy Joe Bidens” and “Barack ObamOreo Pizza.”
Michel Levin ’11 tipped us off to Tuesday’s dinner menu where it seems these amusing suggestions have come to fruition. Tuesday, Dining Services will be treating students to ChimichangObamas, ObaMacaroni and Cheese, TomatObama Soup and the special “Baracktail” Pina ColadObama.
Lunch, served before Obama’s inauguration and therefore during the Bush administration will be served cold with a side of anti-intellectualism—if the college can afford it.
EAC Gardening Survey
Sunday, November 30th, 2008
Remember the earth between your toes? The sweet smell of vegetables? The lushness of freshly picked strawberries? No, I’m not talking about your Junior Year resume padding volunteer trip to South America, I’m talking about gardening, no nonsense organic gardening. The EAC seems to be gauging student interest in a student-run organic garden, something I stand behind fully. Not only is this a great opportunity to start another much needed student-run campus project, but vegetables are yummy. That is enough preaching from me, but make sure to take this survey (previously buried in the Student Announcements Digest) and let them know what you think.

EAC Meetings: 9pm Mondays @ Ladd 207
Voting Anxiety?
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
A tipster recently texted in letting us know that anyone looking for a cheap high this afternoon can get fresh paint fumes “like whoa” in the Starbuck stairwell. Have at it, troubled youth.
If you start to feel a little queezy, stumble into town and sober up with a small cup of free Starbucks Coffee (only if you voted). Also, our favorite hole-in-the-wall ice cream creamery, Ben & Jerry’s, will be thanking its customers for voting with one free scoop of ice cream from 5 ’til 8. Hooray for democracy (and free stuff)!
Shit in the Food
Monday, October 20th, 2008
Every year at Thanksgiving my dad tells this hilarious story about getting food poisoning at a Cracker Barrel in Texas: that story is probably the only positive thing to come out of food poisoning. While I’m sure my Father would have been happy to drive up for the event, tonight’s lecture focuses on some of the more serious aspects of food borne illness. The panel features SGA vice president Alyssa Chrobuck ’09, who will be talking about her experience as a survivor of E.coli, as well as representatives from Safe Tables Our Priority, Skidmore Nutrition Action Council, and Mark Miller of Dining Services. Bringing together students, faculty and professionals to talk about food poisoning both on campus and in the larger community the panel aims to offer—in the words of Chorobuck—“a general understanding of what food-borne illness is, how to eat safely, and also to understand the gravity of the situation.” The panel begins at 8pm in Davis with a Q&A following.
D-hall Dishes Local Delectables
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008
At lunch you probably saw some dining hall employees huffing and puffing over some corn stalks and festive squash colored tablecloths, and you may have asked yourself “hey myself, what’s with the festivities?” Well tonight’s dinner at good ol’ Murray-Aikins is “harvest themed.” Tonight’s each dining station will feature locally grown and obtained products thanks to Skidmore’s new food service provider, who’s name escapes me at the moment (but hey good job guys). That means Global Café will bring you “bratwurst braised in Saratoga Oktoberfest Ale with Cortland apples, onions and kraut.” The Diner also has local treats like “apple cider glazed pork,” “succotash with fava beans & local corn,” and most surprisingly “Caerphilly cheese & pear strata,” I don’t even know what that is. Before you young gourmets run each other into the ground over some local goat cheese and binge on some “roasted acorn squash risotto” remember there are special deserts too.
Dinner is served 5pm-8pm with Late Night most likely being deep fried versions of the days specialties with butter.
Cookies Shaped Like Naughty Things
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Today from 12-4 the Center for Sex and Gender Relations will be selling “cookies shaped like penises and boobie cupcakes” in Case. The proceeds from the sale go to the AIDS Benefit Club for their prtcicpation in the Albany AIDS walk. Make sure you head over there and purchase some high calorie genitals before the day ends.
