My is Meaghan Van Dyke and I’m the host of Heavy is the Hand That Holds the Spoon, a look into the Mary Washington college dining experience. Welcome to our first and only episode.
For many students, college is their first experience of true Independence and the first time that they are relied upon to make meals for themselves. The question remains, how did students actually use the kitchens that are given to them in their University accommodations? To find out, we interviewed Eagle Landing residents and sophomore University of Washington, Riley Munford
I’m here with Mary Washington sophomore Riley Munford, who is a first-time apartment resident. Riley, would you mind telling me a little bit about what you like to cook in the apartment and where did you learn to cook that?
“Tonight for my friends, I am making a recipe that my aunt actually got in Europe when she was traveling abroad, and I think my family took took it and adapted it to an American sense of the meal. But I learned to cook it like growing up in my house with my mom, and we have this whole process of like all of these specific steps that we have to take. I’ve always had people tell me that there’s a more efficient way to do it but there’s like just a tradition of the specific, like way to make it that makes it homey.” “Yes!”
For University officials, understanding students eating habits is an important way to make sure that all students are accounted for and cared for. This has been Meaghan Van Dyke and this is been the first and only episode of Heavy is the Hand That Holds the Spoon, a look the Mary Washington dining experience.
