Day 15 - One Week to Go



Boiler Market Lunch

 With only one week left of the experiment, I find myself wanting to be more adventurous in the restaurants we choose. Unfortunately, time doesn't allow for too much creativity. It is inevitably Starbuck's or some other fast food restaurant for breakfast since they are located right down the street. Lunch is usually a bit rushed since Francisco only has a small break between classes for us to squeeze in something. We usually walk somewhere on campus - today we walked over to the Boiler Market and shared the Garden Pasta and the Red Pepper and Gouda Soup. This order also came with two chocolate chip cookies, a piece of garlic bread, and a breadstick. Holy cow, that's a lot of food - even when you're sharing!  We would potentially have the most time for dinner, but on some nights, I don't get out of work until 6:00, and I have no desire to go sit at a restaurant for another two hours. We got a pizza Monday and finished that off for dinner yesterday, so we have yet to determine where we'll be eating tonight. 



Australia's Strange Fruit



We do plan to head over to see a presentation of "Australia's Strange Fruit" after work. It's actually our three and a half year anniversary - I know, that really doesn't count as an "official" anniversary, but I'll look for any excuse to celebrate - so maybe we'll see about heading somewhere a little nicer for dinner tonight.

However, the other issue that prevents us from being too creative is the fact that we live in West Lafayette, a college town not very well known for its restaurant variety. There is a decent enough selection, but having grown up right outside of Chicago, our restaurant options here leave something to be desired.
