We're Having a Luck (9.6.2013)

We're having a luck. It's like a pot luck, sans the pot. Because we don't do that stuff. Its also lucky because we have such wonderful friends, we are all back on campus, we all had super fantastic first weeks even if we don't know it, and we are all able to make it to the Knoll to eat a ton of random food, play frisbee, and catch up. Yeah, we're pretty lucky. The original idea was to have a potluck, but as no ones apartment is big enough to accomodate the masses of people we anticipated showing up, the Luck, as we referred to it, was moved to the Knoll area on the East Bank, near Eddy Circle. Also, being college students no one really has the time or resources to make the type of food one would usually bring to a potluck, and as the event was to be held in an outdoor setting, there was not facilities available to create a wonderfully well rounded meal. So the Luck consisted of chips, green beans, chips, hamburger cookies, pretzels, chips, salsa, corn, potatoes, and puppy chow with coffee grounds instead of powdered sugar. This last contribution was the brainchild and project taken on by Josh and myself as our contribution to the Luck. At the last minute we decided to make puppy chow but were unable to obtain any powdered sugar. The remaining ingredients of rice chex, chocolate and coffee were purchased at cvs, and we already had peanut butter in the apartment. So five minutes before this Luck was due to start, operation puppy chow was set in motion. After a huge mess of las minute frenzied activity and dirty dishes, the makeshift puppy chow was ready to go and soon joined the mass of other random edibles. Consumption today was a social affair, and we all sampled random bits off food in the loud and rambunctious atmosphere created by the laughing and merry chatter. The athletically inclined tossed frisbees and footballs while trying to avoid trees. It was a great time and a great feeling to be back with all our friends, and personally, I found the food to be of secondary concern to the wonderful people.
