Basic recipe for red Thai chicken curry

This week we’re talking Thai curries. I make Thai curry much the same way I make yellow curry: coconut milk, veggies, curry paste/powder and sometimes chicken or tofu. It mostly depends on the curry flavor I want. For Thai curry, you have the option of either red curry paste or green curry paste. I don’t know much about the history of curry, but my guess is that there are certain ingredients that are associated with each paste, but I just use them based on what I think tastes good. You...

“Overlooking the Sound” reviews KUPS as a whole

In response to a Hey You! saying that KUPS is not accessible­—meaning too avant-garde to even listen to—this week’s review is a little different. Instead of focusing on one show that has been recommended to me by listeners and visiting the station while it airs, this week’s review focuses on a few different shows from the perspective of someone who randomly tunes into the radio. Is it possible that the Hey You! is right? The remainder of this column will discuss sort of a mood match, how well the music...

Unique pizza recipes

Pizza is the perfect food. I’ve had this conversation so many times I’ve lost count. Every time the topic of pizza comes up my roommate and I have at least a five-minute conversation about how it is perfect.

As good as Cellar pizza is, it can get a bit spendy to eat there every time pizza sounds good, which for me...

On a recent cross-country trip, Bittman attempted to eat vegan. He quickly tired of Subway’s veggie delight sandwich. The best alternative he found was the “fresco” burrito at Taco Bell. This burrito replaced dairy and meat...

Campus Films presents: Zero Dark Thirty

Not to spoil the ending of the movie, but Osama bin Laden is killed. Shocking, I know, but when a movie is a retelling of historical events, there are no alternative endings. Anyone who saw Lincoln knows the film did not end with President Lincoln, having avoiding assassination, becoming a vampire slayer. Zero Dark Thirty, directed by Katherine Bigalow, of Hurt Locker fame, and starring Jessica Chastain from The Help, is the story of the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Chastain plays Maya, a CIA analyst, who starting in 2003...

New club “Campus Cursive” encourages more letter writing

Officially approved by ASUPS on March 28, Campus Cursive revitalizes the art of letter writing and incorporates into it random acts of kindness throughout the campus. Shelley Stephan, the founder of the club, was inspired to start this club during finals week her sophomore year. “ stumbled upon the website moreloveletters.com, where posted on the website was a love letter to college students,” Stephan said. Finding ease in conveying her own feelings by expressing herself through letters and journals, Stephan was touched by the genuine care expressed in the letter....
