The Tasty-est Recipes

By Mei-Ling

As a continuation of my obsession with Tasty, I decided to try out making this spinach and artichoke mac and cheese recipe. One, because its mac and cheese, two because it’s spinach and artichoke, and three, because it’s Tasty.

I made this one along with my lovely helper Chris. It was a lot easier and much much quicker to make it with two people, and everything prepared beforehand. Admittedly I think this recipe was a little lower effort than the Parm roll ups. Still, I really appreciate whenever I don’t have to cook by myself.

We followed the recipe pretty faithfully (I’ll just link it here), but also decided to try putting bread crumbs on top for a bit of crunch. After baking, it was indeed a good crunch, but there might’ve been a feeew too many on top. We could hear them as they rolled around in our dish as we took it out of the oven.

Instead of using a cast-iron pan, we used a dutch oven as well. However, this meant that a lot of the sides were coated with cheesy milk (or milky cheese) which really cooked on in the high-heat oven. It was a pain to get off. A real pain.

My Friday Nights

It was the Friday night of midterms during my first year at Caltech, and I was alone in the library. That weekend (week five of term, if you’re keeping count) also happens to coincide with Halloween. But as a bright-eyed frosh trudging my way through Ma 1a lecture notes, I was just baffled that no one else was studying alongside me. Spoiler alert: not all Caltech students spend Friday night—or every night—studying or grinding sets, even during midterms. And especially on Halloween weekend.

In order to get a good sense of the Caltech community, there is no better way than to talk to the students themselves. To give a little bit of an inside perspective of Caltech, I asked some students a variety of questions. Questions ranged from conspiracy theories to Caltech-specific takes and other random topics.

Searching for snow

My grandma always says that it rains whenever Dragonssuperior zodiac sign travel, and sure enough, it was raining when I landed at LAX for my last calendar year at Caltech. It’s officially my graduation year—but between leaving campus just before spring term in my freshman year and returning, twenty-one years old, as a junior, it really does feel like my time here has flown by.
