A Menu

By Tamika Whitenack

Welcome to Tamika's College Dining Experience! On the menu this week:

Tuesday: Black Bean Tacos
-Our slow-cook in mini rice cooker technique creates black beans that are soft and full of flavor. The aromatics of cilantro, garlic, and onion will delight both your taste buds and linger in your dorm room, creating a garlicky ambience in which to enjoy your meal
-Tortillas are served warm and softened from the steam of black-beans cooking, producing a unique black-bean infused texture
-served with a side of roasted cauliflower on a bed of baby spinach




Wednesday: International Vegan Desserts
Biscotti
-The hazelnut cinnamon vanilla biscotti will surprise you with their subtle almond extract flavor. The crunch and sweetness of these cookies pairs wonderfully with coffee for a late afternoon treat
-Drizzled with dark chocolate
Sesame Cookies
-These simple sesame cookies have a strong tahini flavor and a crumbly melt-in-your-mouth texture thanks to our careful combination of almond flour and maple syrup.
-The sesame seed coating provides a lovely crunch and toasty flavor to these bite-size snack cookies




Thursday: Carrot Cake
-For vegans, the carrot cake base is deliciously moist and flavorful, a result of vanilla-soy-flax-eggs and a healthy dose of carrots. Our special three oil blend of coconut, olive, and canola oils and the addition of purple and golden raisins makes this cake truly special
-For those willing to indulge in dairy, the honey-orange cream cheese frosting adds a light and bright addition to the carrot cake. The frosting is airy, due to our special "beat excessively with an electric hand mixer on the flour of the dorm room" technique





Friday: Cheese Crackers
-These small cheddar-chipotle crackers are little bites of fun! Buttery and rich, these crackers are decadent but not overly indulgent, thanks to the addition of whole-wheat flour. Baked for precisely 10 minutes + the time it takes the chef to go to the bathroom, these crackers are the perfect amount of crispy and tender




If you would like to join our dining experience, please make reservations with the hostess at least 24 hours in advance. Please specify if you would like vegan options and if you would prefer an in-dorm-room dining experience or a take-out meal. We also cater events if provided with sufficient notice, please contact the hostess to inquire about pricing options.
*Due to lighting struggles, our photography does not do this food justice. It tastes beautiful.

    No shame, I accept that all I post about is food.

    Also I'm very jealous that you saw a fox
    The only wildlife we seem to have here are the drunk people on weekend nights

Pre-School School Fun

Image
Hello friends! I’m officially back at school, but before we get into that I did so many fun school things before classes even started that I need to share! So Wind Ensemble takes a trip every year, and this year we got extra funding from the music department so we got to go Barcelona!!! So I flew back to Tufts a week early and went to the airport with my whole WE gang Tuesday night. Everyone was so excited! We could not believe we were about to be in Spain! Then after a few hours of waiting at the airport we learned that the airline could only send six of us to Spain. We were not about to be in Spain...Because one guy was flying on a different flight and was already in the air, we decided that we couldn’t just leave him to fend for himself in Spain for a week so we sent the six people with tickets to Barcelona while the rest of us rode the subway back to Tufts. After a long night of deliberating what to do and arguing with the airline, we were given free tickets on the airline’s ne...

tidbits of a peaceful life

 After a long hiatus from this blog site, I am back with some updates on my final semester of college! In typical-Tamika fashion, I'm going to structure this as lists for the sake of ease. The short summary of my life at the moment is that I have a wonderfully interesting courseload but quite relaxed workload, which means I spend a lot of time doing leisurely activities and sleeping (and also applying for jobs/trying to figure out post-grad plans, but I'm intentionally leaving most of that drama out for now...you'll get an update when I have concrete news!). Books I’ve Read Bestiary Rules for Radicals -for class Playbook for Progressives -for class Imagining the Future of Climate Change  Minor Feelings The Color of Air The Gangster We’ve All Been Waiting For Veganism of Color Meet the Food Radicals (in progress) Things I do for class Made beer with Kveik ale yeast Guest speakers from Poughkeepsie Community: Community Matters 2, Real Skills Starting to build a theoretical fr...

 I suppose it has been a while! While my lifestyle of running, cooking, and bits and pieces of school and projects hasn't changed much, a lot has happened and spring has truly sprung! It's truly that season, as the goslings are out and I have been hissed at by protective parent geese. Hurrah! Some notes of late: Last class for one of my education classes yesterday! We had a little off-campus party with Exodus, our community partner and the host organization for our formerly incarcerated classmates. It was so cute, and the first party I've had in a long time (because of COVID...) We all got little certificates and there were balloons and cake . And it was so fun to finally meet the non-Vassar students and chat a little bit :) This class has definitely been a learning experience and motivates me to more actively seek out relationship building with those whose life experiences are vastly different from my own. Monday was also my last real class for BIO, where we finished up ou...
