Every Step You Take
“I witness this firsthand every day when my young students at the SAB file into the cafeteria for their lunch. Thirty years ago, when I was a student at SAB, we had no dorms and no cafeteria—which meant my roommates and I had to shop and cook for ourselves on our very meager budgets. We stuck to basics, but over time we developed our own signature touches for our communal meals—sausage with Hamburger Helper, crumbled Ruffles potato chips atop tuna casserole, or big chunks of the cheapest cheddar... we could find stirred in to create cheesy land mines in our spaghetti casseroles.
Even though I am allegedly a true grown-up now instead of an accidental adult, I sometimes feel more like an accidental adolescent. After all, I am around impossibly young people all day. When I get a craving for one of the simple but satisfying meals of my youth, I put on my workout clothes and some good seventies or eighties music and make this updated version of my old standby.
