We Are!!... So Hungry!!!

We Are!!! .... So Hungry!!

So this weekend Marie and I went for the last time to Penn State to stay with Uncle Addie and Frank before they officially moved out of their townhouse and back to Pittsburgh. It has dawned on us just how spoiled we've become in these years being able to come back here and hang out whenever we want , without the hassle of hotels or RV's etc.

So needless to say, almost everything about this trip has been bittersweet. Yes, I know, it's not like we can't come up here again, but it simply won't be the same. And honestly, I don't know how long it will be until we find ourselves up here again for some time.

We happened to be up during Arts Fest weekend and so we went down on Saturday to check it out since Marie has never seen it. Colin certainly loved it. Right before we left to go check it out we got this idea that we would really like to go eat at Waring Commons one last time and so we went online and looked it up for the hours. Sadly, Waring was closed for the summer so we were really bummed. But as it turns out when we got to West Halls, it was actually open this weekend for some camps that were going on at the University so we ran upstairs and sat down and I ate like a friggin KING.

I'm still a bit in disbelief how much I enjoyed this but if it's any sign of how much I really did, it's in the fact that I've bothered to blog about this. I'll say it now, if you have a chance to go back and eat at the commons, DO IT, because I can honestly say the experience far exceeded my memories of it.

Maybe i'm just getting old and I can't remember all the things we had but it was insane. Like 8 different juice selections (kiwi strawberry, mango something, lemonade, raspberry/something, etc.) Whole Milk, 2%, Skim, Chocolate Milk that was super thick. They ever had Honey Comb for people like Ben to steal. And as a bonus (although Phil says he remember this being there), they started having Cookie Crisp. They still have soft serve but they also had cookies and cream and peanutbutter swirl on hand for people like me that prefer non-soft serve. Pizza out the wazoo followed by 3 kinds of pasta. Obviously a salad bar (bleah, serioulsy, why even bother :) ). Onion Rings and Southwestern Rice. The only sad thing that was missing because it was retired about 2 years ago is the Chicken Cosmo . Man, how I miss that thing. So yes, if you're ever there again, I recommend you to go. It was just too damn good.
