spicy spice-y rice

30 Jun

Two Bad Mice by Beatrix Potter

can be made most lunches and dinners at the Malott Dining Commons
Scripps College
Claremont, CA

1. take a bowl and add any rice that is available (Scripps usually always has brown rice by the baked meat, or on special days you can get Mexican rice that’s already pretty flavorful)

2. add the spice of your choice to your rice:

* there is always salsa available in Scripps’ sandwich bar
* by the condiments at Malott, there is a rarely-used shaker of chili powder. pair this with your rice and some fish or chicken
* if it’s your lucky day, and there are toppings for tacos or tortilla soup, add some onions, cilantro, or pico de gallo

3. add a little lemon to freshen things up! (always available in Scripps’ sandwich bar)

caldo de pollo with ri-i-ice

28 Jun

Chicken Soup with Rice, Maurice Sendak 1962

can be made most evenings at the
Hoch-Shanahan Dining Commons
Harvey Mudd College
Claremont, CA

1. take a soup bowl and put in some rice (Mudd usually has a rice cooker by the vegetarian food)

2. add any fresh toppings that your salad or sandwich bar might have: from Mudd, i add corn, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro

3. if you’d like, add some spice: sriracha, cholula, red pepper flakes, or other salsas (i like to add Mudd’s salsa verde and mounds of pico de gallo)

4. over this, pour any chicken, turkey, or vegetable broth soup available

5. add some lemon to taste (by the soda fountains at Mudd)

6. crumble some mozarella cheese, some more cilantro, and tortilla chips to garnish

*adding fresh ingredients like tomatoes, or a little spice with sriracha, can really make your dining hall meal feel less stale (pico de gallo is my favorite fix to everything from steak to rice)
