This was me at Sagra for lunch today. There’s been some buzz around the place recently for its Recession lunches, a menu of Under-$10 specials, so I decided to check it out (with my dad–hey, why spend even $10 when you don’t have to?!). In a cute little house on the corner of 17th &…

Awww, sweet Dishola deal – donate food with minimal effort
Aside from clicking that bowl of rice that donates to starving children in Asia (it took me awhile to find this link again, where you donate rice for every vocab word you know … pretty awesome), I don’t know of many easier ways to donate food to those in need than this: Dishola (plus Whole…

I went last year and had a great time–the gingerbread village really is…

I <3 Mangia Pizza
I freakin’ love Mangia Pizza. Large whole wheat Chicago-style crust with spinach and mushrooms, please! The other night after volleyball, we went to the Draught House to check out the (512) beers.
