Mastering the Art of [Dorm] Cooking- Bon Apetit, Y’all!

Sophomore Lee-Ann Plott

Now, ladies and gentleman, is the time to start an experiment. Far be it from me to suggest that the nutritional needs and/or wants of ours aren’t met here on campus, but if a little doubt lingers in your mind, perhaps it is time to supplement with a little bit of dorm cooking. This series, Mastering the Art of [Dorm] Cooking, will be a collaboration between you guys, the readers, and me. Think of it as a “Dear Abbie” column, at least, so far as food preparation is concerned. The vision is to figure out cost effective, easy ways to produce quality food that can be created either within the individual dorm rooms or in one of the several kitchens made available to us on campus. We would love to work with you all and learn the tricks of the trade that you have, no doubt, picked up while on campus. Professors, this means you guys too. If you would like to share some of your favorite recipes and work with the Blue Stocking staff do not shy away, but rather, contact us. If anyone, professors or students,  have any recipes you would enjoy sharing, please share your comments at the bottom and we will take a look at it!

BOO-BOO: Redneckognize

It all started with a toddler in a tiara, but TLC knows a money mine when it sees one.

Couch potatoes grab the remote and nestle into their favorite spot. New Year’s resolution gym goers have hopped on the treadmills. Business people wait for their connecting flights in airport cafes. Televisions are being turned on across the country.

Unless you have been living in a town much smaller and more remote than McIntyre, Georgia, I’m sure you have heard of Honey Boo Boo. For an hour each week, Alana Thompson welcomes television watching American’s into her family’s home. She’s introduced us to Glitzy, Sugar Bear, Go-Go Juice, and encouraged her fellow Americans to “redneckognize.”

Blue Hose Douse the Flames

Sophomore Eric Washington

MLK weekend did not stop the turnout at the Saturday night basketball game.  Many students, parents, and faculty attended the PC v Liberty game.  Going into the game, expectations were high.  The PC men had yet to win a Big South Conference game[1] , while Liberty had won one out of four.

1. It’s late. You’re hungry: Waffle House or McDonalds.

Definitely Waffle House. If any one chooses McDonald’s over Waffle House they don’t know how to live with them selves. Waffle House is way classier.

2. If you were a Disney princess, who would you be?

If I were a Disney Princess I would be Ariel mainly because she gets to be in the ocean 24/7, and I love water. I would never however, give up my voice for a guy. Too overrated.

The Mayans Created Slackers

With the frigid temperatures waning, it’s easy to see why people have recently started discovering their new love of exercise. As observed by the regular gym goers of PC, the new year has brought about a recent rise in the number of attendees in the Springs gym facilities. Everyone wants to stay in shape and with the sun shinning and a light wind rustling through bare branches the urge is only emphasized.

Official Gymnasium Data

But what is wrong with that picture, Beautiful weather leading to lack of available treadmills? It doesn’t seem right. There must be another explanation. How can the external temperature fuel one’s desire to run inside a building? After contemplating this conundrum, the true reason for the rise in gym attendance came to mind, the Mayans.

How ‘Bout them Hose

Senior Khalid Mutakabbir

Saturday, our very own Templeton gym played host to not one but two basketball games. A double header between the PC women and men’s basketball teams against Radford and Campbell Universities, respectively. PC Women played at 5, followed by PC Men at 7:45.  PC women played a very intense game against Radford, trying to maintain their winning streak in the Big South Conference, 5-0.  Maintaining this streak proved to be difficult.  … Continue Reading

It’s Sexist Month, Y’all!

Comic by Paul Rice

Dear readers, we find ourselves in the midst of another furry November. It has come to our attention that a new stipulation on exactly how much hair– and most telling, where –can be grown. Readers, we are speaking of none other than Movember, the biggest example of terrible hairy sexism these writers have yet seen.
