(1) Fri Apr 15 12:13:19 special viking cafe issue:

I won't miss the old viking cafe (our staff/commuter foodservice cafe) -- the new one is superior in practically all ways. The prices are worse, but I guess that's to be expected. It's kind of like a Panerabucks (part Panera, park Starbucks). Anyway, they have these great panini sandwiches and stuff, which beats the old "hot lunch" type meals they used to sell, and they still have the "perpetual pot of chili" which is old taco "meat" and spaghetti sauce and expired ketchup and who knows what, but it's good. A whole sandwhich is $4.29 -- BUT -- half a sandwich and a cup of soup or chili is $3.29! What a deal! And I get my mystery chili. I'm going to miss that.

I'm not going to miss the half warmed over canned vegetables they used to serve with the hot lunch. Vegetables out of a metal can are almost always a bad idea.
