Now who ever said that Farmvillians don't know how to eat? At least we have var- iety. And how many places do you know of with a Per- ini's Dancing Restaurant? Mom and Dad said we could learn a lot in college-and boy have we learned the value of a home-cooked mwl. Thanks, Mom! The illegal, but useful, toaster oven For many of us, eating remains a more personal event. Under the nose of BSLG and Dean Schill, there are numbers of legal, and not-so-legal, appliances. Refrigerators are legal and are handy for keeping a few beers cold, maybe a pint of milk, and moldy, but shavp, ched- dar cheese. Popcorn poppers are legal as well, and more than one enterprising Hampden-Sydney student has been spotted using a corn popper to fry eggs. Among the more popular illegal appliances are the one or two burner hot-plate and 1985 KALEIDOSCOPE The Farrrwille McDonald's: worlds slowest the always useful toaster oven. lf you've got either of these, then the possibilities for creative food are endless. Some of us have been enter- prising enough to cook whole chickens in a toaster-oven fperfect for that before- formal romantic dinnerlj. A hot-plate is perfect for macaroni-and-cheese and brunswick stew.

OPENING The Care and Feeding of Hamsters For most of us, the most important aspect of our care is the feeding, so Kaleido- scope offers this summary of campus cooking-eating out and eating in. Remember Mom's last words before we left school: Eat well, after all, you are what you eat! That sounded like good advice at the time, but boy has she got me worried. If there is any truth in that adage, we students at Hampden-Sydney are in for some real trouble. Something tells me that most of us shudder at the thought of waking up to find ourselves transformed into veal patties faffectionately known as 'Ele- phant Scabs'J, ever-popular noodles with butter, or meat- loaf, yet we continue to eat in the Commons because, like all Hampden-Sydney men, we hold fast to tradition. At least We try to! On occasion fand sometimes more often than thatj We venture into the bust- ling metropolis of Farmville, to frequent our favorite chow lCFf0m iff!! A Com Diner, Rfs Deli Eating ln and Eating Out houses and soothe our savage appetites. As tradition would have it, Walker's Diner is our favor- ite spot for lunch, as rarely are we up in time for break- fast fexcept during exam weekj. Walker's and Hampden-Sydney men go back quite a ways. Friendly folks, fast service, and that fif- ties atrnosphere keep us com- ing back. Walker's has pretty much cornered the market on after- noon cuisine, but when dinner time rolls around, the options abound. lf home- cooking is your pleasure, we can head to any number of places: The Fox Hunt inn Call-you-can-eat spaghetti on Thursdaysll, Cedar Brook fif you like cocktails before dinnerj, or the Steer. If we crave Chinese-American fwith heavy emphasis on Americanj, we can dine at the Royal Garden. The Golden Corral serves a humdinger of a steak, and the Heritage House has almost everything. And lest we forget, when Mom and Dad are here for Parent's Weekend, the Weyanoke for dinner is a must. Finally, last but cer- tainly not least, those old stand-bys exist even in Farm- ville: Rj's Garden Deli, Ken- tucky Fried Chicken fto goj, Sunny's Cafe fawesome shakes and criss-cut friesj, muzfr, mons meal, W'allcer's

OPENING A Recipes Exactly What Do Hamsters Drink? From the kitchen of Mrs. Graves H. Thompson Thirtyffive years ago everyone on the campus served coffee punch. Since my husband was not a coffee drinker I asked, lf coffee punch is so good, why wouldn't chocolate punch be better? So I devised the following recipe: Ingredients 92 gallon chocolate ice cream 1 can Hershey's ' chocolate syrup Whole milk Ginger ale Procedure Place W gallon chocolate ice cream in a glass gallon jar Pour in I can Hershey's ' chocolate syrup Fill the jar with milk Let stand in the ice box 8f1O hours At sewing time, put W gallon of vanilla ice cream in punch bowl and pour the mixture over this. The ice cream serves to keep the punch cool in the same way an ice ring cools fruit punch. Add 1 pint ginger ale to each gallon of punch. Yield for one gallon: 20 cups. CI usually make three or four gallons for Eta Sigma Phi functions and at least six for larger student groupsj As you add additional gallons, continue to add the ginger ale. P 4: 5 -5 1' - Leigh' I - au' D L Vl g 'e c VT NQQD Caution: No substitutes should be used. Use whole milk rather than lowffat, regular ice cream rather than ice milk, l-Iershey's f syrup rather than any iainitation, and a good brand of ginger e. From the kitchen of Mrs. Lewis H. Drew Reese'sM Peanut Butter Cookies Grease tiny muffin tins. Slice a roll of peanut butter refrigerator cookie dough into W' slices. Cut each slice into quarters and put I piece into each muffin cup fno need to shape or pressj. Bake according to package directions. As soon as you remove them from the oven, press a Reese'sm Peanut Butter Cup fbite sizel into each cookie. Let cool before remov- ing from pan but don't wait too long. Forgotten Cookies Beat 2 egg whites until stiff and beat in ZX3 cup of sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped nuts. Drop cookies on Teflonm cookie sheet. Oven should be preheated to 3500. When the cookies are put in the oven, the oven should be tumed off Instant Noodles Boil about 2 cups of water in a hot pot fthe amount of water really doesn t matter . Right before the water boils add a little bit of cooking oil flike Wessonl. Once the water boils add the noodles. When the noodles are finally submerged add the seasoning powder fsoup mixj. Boil for a couple of minutes. Add chopsticks and then eat heartily in front of the tube completely blowin off any work you may have had. D Important: do not break noodles up. v g immediately. Leave them in the oven overnight or at least 4 hours. Do not open the oven door. When l make these, I double the recipe and use the oven racks which I cover with foil instead of cookie tins. Ice Cream Pie Blend 18 Oreosw and W stick butter in food processor and press into 10 pie plate. Freeze. Fill crust with most of a half- gallon of ice cream. Cl use vanilla but coffee is deliciousj Pack the ice cream down and smooth the surface so that it is mounded in the center. Freeze. Quickly spread on the chocolate sauce which has thoroughly cooled and freeze until serving time. Chocolate Sauce Heat together over low heat: ZX3 cup evaporated milk M cup sugar 2 squares unsweetened chocolate Cook until thick and then cool completely. If the sauce is not absolutely cool the result will be a disaster fit will slide right off before you can get it in the freezerlj This pie will serve IO.
