Dining Hall Thanksgiving

I would like to give a shout out to all the dining hall staff for putting together a great pre-Thanksgiving meal last night. I ate at Hillenbrand and was really glad I did. Sometimes I take for granted all the work the staff put into preparing food for us everyday. Plus they always seem to do it with a smile on their faces.

Last night the staff had decorated the whole place with fall decorations and dimmed the lights which set the mood. The food was really good -moist turkey, homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans and corn, and dinner rolls with cinnamon butter. Plus the must have desserts -apple pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and candy corn! The down side to this wonderful meal was the very long wait in line. But the staff anticipated this and had an apple cider fountain outside the doors so you could stand in line drinking apple cider in a fancy cup while you waited. I really appreciated all the effort they put forth in preparing the meal. I know that some students won't get to come home for Thanksgiving so it's nice Purdue food services can bring a little home to them.

If you missed last night's meal you have the Christmas dinner to look forward to, and I know from last year it is even better (if that's possible). And remember to thank the staff for all the time and effort they put forth in preparing our meals (everyday not just on holidays).
