Last week (Mon 17 Sep - Fri 21) we weighed the food waste that came back to the dish rooms at Thomas Jefferson and Rayl Dining Halls.  You will find these amounts displayed near the dining hall exits.  This week through Friday, we will all do our best to reduce the amount of food that is wasted.  The total savings from last week to this week, is then donated to Greater Rolla Area Charitable Enterprise (GRACE), a local food bank that benefits families in Phelps County, Mo.

Remember at our dining halls, you can always come back for seconds, so lower your portion sizes to start with, and help us bring back a clean plate!

]]> Top 10 Ways to Stay Warm with Chartwells S&T tag:eat.mst.edu,2012://341.59954 2012-01-27T17:13:09Z 2012-01-27T17:44:50Z Dan Jensen dineoncampus.com/mst Winter Break has come and gone, and there's only 48 DAZE left till St. Pat's, but we've still got some cold weather ahead of us.  Here are the top ten ways to fill your stomach, tickle your taste buds, and warm your soul with Chartwells Dining.

10.  Einstein Bros.' new Maple Oatmeal Egg Sandwich.  Or just the bagel on its own, toasty with honey butter.

9.  Corn Nuggets at Havener Food Court.  Specifically, the Home Off The Range station.  Wait, you ask, how can we find out when corn nuggets are being served if the menu always changes?  Ah, well follow us on Twitter (@MSTChartwells) and we will hashtag every #CORNNUGGETS alert.

8.  Einstein Bros. two new 'slim' drinks: Skinny Vanilla Latte and Fat Free Chai Latte.

7. The ever popular Jackbird spicy chicken sandwich at Coyote Jack's Grill on buttery Texas toast.

6. Make a break for Miner Break Cafe to try a Starbucks Peppermint Mocha or White Hot Chocolate.

5. The Club Mex Wrap at Einstein Bros.  Whole wheat wrap, hot egg (or egg white) and turkey sausage, jalapeno cream cheese, pepperjack cheese, and ancho salsa.  Clears up the sinuses.

4. January is National Soup Month!  Your favorite Baked Potato Soup every Tuesday and Thursday at Havener Food Court.  Also featuring home made chunky chili (shout out to Rosia) and a rotating special.  Don't worry, we will still carry soups in February and beyond.

3. Miner Break Cafe has a new friend - a four slice toaster.  Have you toasted a new Maple Oatmeal Bagel yet?  Toastliness.

2. That colorful cooler at Havener Food Court - The Veggie Patch - can grill up any full size wrap.  Your vegetarian favorites crispy and hot.

1. A dining tradition at Missouri S&T - Taco Fridays at TJ Dining Hall and Rayl Dining Hall.  But don't be limited to tacos - go for burritos, taco salads, or nachos a la Joe Miner (extra jalapenos and banana peppers).
