Excepting organ meats and anything that could be classified as a mollusk, I like to try new foods. The other day I had the opportunity to try two.

I always fear not eating something before class will affect my level of concentration so I usually have a snack in the car on the way to school. All-in-all, this was a pretty typical of a day when I have class. Breakfast 3...
