Joe was in charge of food for our household last semester. One meal in the rotation that I was assigned to cook was called Ziti. I had never heard of it before, but it was a very good Italian dish. Towards the end of the semester we asked Joe where he got it from. Turns out they had it all the time on the TV show Joe watched a lot over the summer called “The Sopranos”, and Joe wanted to see what it was like. I thought that was awesome.
We had a retreat last weekend, and Wacker was looking through the food to see if we needed anything. He thought we might need some more eggs, but it turned out we had enough. In the end it looked like he just needed to pick up a couple loaves of bread for dinner. We were doing some meditations on the life of Jesus and he thought about skipping the next one to go pick up the bread. He was about to walk out the door when he realized that the meditation was on Jesus feeding the five thousand. He thought to himself, “I better not…” We had plenty of bread for dinner.
We have been getting all of our food in bulk from a place called “Restaurant Depot” near the St Paul campus. We keep a ton of food in storage in the basement of 312.
I feel almost like I’m in LOST, because it seems like all of our food and supplies just magically appear in our fridge. The food does not all come with a wierd brand symbol on it, but a lot of the food comes in white containers.
