You can make change!

Greetings friends!

This is my first time writing since before winter break. I got ill with winter stress travels (going around the East Coast in an intense snow season is not the lightest on the bones). Anyways, Angela kindly covered the gift of being a blogger for HDH while I was recovering last night. Now I am refreshed and ready to write!

While being ill, I was diverted from eating predominantly raw vegan, and sought some warm comfort foods. Earl's Place provided me with delicious organic and vegan burritos made by Amy's. My favorite kind is the bean and rice, non-diary type... mmm delicious!

I was also flattered but a little embarrassed with the other "services" Earl's Place provided. Things like "passion meters", "grow a lover", and "love dust." All for the sake of your contentment on that day of February 14th. We are really taken care of living on campus!

And onto the subject of my more raw diet, it is amazingly catered to on campus. The reason is pretty obvious: everything raw is not cooked. So I load up on the fruits, vegetables, nuts, and kombucha which I can find all on my college campus. Soon, there will be farmers bringing me locally grown food called "Farm 2 U." I even went so far to ask HDH on their facebook, which is regularly maintained, that they supply sprouts at Earl's. (Sprouts are a very nutrious and important part of the raw diet.) Before, I was walking to the Village all the way from Warren to get my hands on dem sprouts, but now, not fortuitously, Earl's Place carries sprouts! What kindness. I encourage you all to make change by the power of suggestion. Feel free to post your comments on the HDH facbook. The link is below.

Well friends, I have said so much. Until next time!

In love,

Jessica

Foodworx, Fame, and more!

Howdy-ou-do guys!?

I hope all is going swell with midterms. if you need a break, check out the following:

The other day, I had the fine privilege of going into Foodworx. I was SO stoked on that place. First of all, it's rather large for a marketplace on campus. Second of all, it had AMAZING choices. I highly recommend Amy's burritos (you can locate them in the freezer section of any marketplace on campus). My favorite kinds are the Beans and Rice and the Indian Samosa wrap... mmmmm delicious! They are an absolutely easy dinner treat to make for friends having a late night study session at your place. The Marketplaces also have a fine variety of snacked goods. I happened to grab some vegan vanilla crackers which were amazing. They also have a great selection of Uncle Eddie's Vegan cookies which every vegan and non-vegan alike should try at least once in their life. (Incredible! I particularly enjoy the Molasses cookies.) Now that I am all excited about food... I have to mention that Foodworx offers a BBQ on the deck from 1-5pm every Saturday. Make sure to check that out tomorrow if you are around!

On another note, HDH has had another moment of fame! HDH Sustainability Manager Krista Mays talks "trash" with the city and SDSU on KPBS's These Days. Listen to the interview for yourself: http://www.kpbs.org/news/2009/nov/10/san-diego-landfill-makes-room-food-waste-recycling/

The San Diego Landfill is making room for UCSD's food waste to be recycled (i.e. composted)! This is truly something to celebrate. So keep on composting, friends.

This is such a great campus. Keep checking out all of the great Dining events here: http://hdh.ucsd.edu/diningservices/events.pdf as well as all of the student-org led events. Be aware and read signs around campus; you will really reap great rewards.

Peace and love,

Jessica
