Quelques photos prises rapidos depuis le "BU bridge", ce pont qui surplombe une autoroute à 8 voies rugissante. Je me rendais à Marsh Chapel, où j'avais rendez-vous avec les autres étudiants en échange pour rejoindre un évènement organisé en l'honneur des étudiants internationaux dans la salle de bal des trustees de l'Université. Le bâtiment était magnifique, mais toute la nourriture était partie quand nous sommes arrivés... donc nous ne sommes pas restés longtemps ! A la place, moi et mes amis sommes allé dîné à Marciano Common, qui a la réputation d'être le meilleur dining hall du campus. J'y ai goûté pour la première fois les fameuses
mac'n'cheese, sorte de pâtes dans une sauce épaisse au cheddar.

| You'd think a 8 lanes highway isn't exaclty the most beautiful thing in the world, but sunset makes everything better. I was feeling very happy when I took these pictures, as I was lsitening to some Mika songs. |
Et pour finir un point sur la To-Do liste :
203. Goûter un bagel au saumon (bon j'étais censé faire ça à New-York, mais ma colloc Lorin m'ayant laissé prendre une bouchée du sien le 5 septembre, on va considérer que c'est fait !]
Mm Mac n' cheese! Did you try it? If you have a kitchen you can mix up a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese pretty cheaply. The microwave kind is not as good. I just don't think I could survive somewhere without bagels and macaroni and cheese!
RépondreSupprimerYep, I tried the mac'n'cheese, and it was pretty nice. Comfort food to me will always be my grandmother's pasta though, and it's pretty close, with tiny macaronis we call coquillette, and then she pours liquid cream in it, but I'm not even sure you could find that type of cream in the US. Sadly, I don't have a stove here, but I do have a microwave. I'll probably stick with the freshly-made-in-front-of-you mac'n'cheese from the dining halls though. I'll pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food served there, although I'm conveniently trying to ignore that it's probably full of GMOs and cows fed with growth hormones without it being disclosed :p
RépondreSupprimerI've tried a bagel also and I loved it ('it had salmon in it). Those things can be found in France but they are not very common.
I'm sure you could do it! This is my day 18 without baguette or non-pasteurized cheese, and I certainly miss it (especially a local goat cheese called Selle Sur Cher) but so far, the discovery of new food has helped me through it! My parents promised a dinner made entirely of freshly baked break and raw-milk cheeses when I get back home for Christmas, so when I miss my home country's food, I just think of that.
