VOLUME 2 \ ISSUE 3 \ SPRING 2014
Spring Fling with Spoon Pretty much the day the snow melts off the ground and temperatures start to creep toward the 60s, the beach Snapchats start rolling in and students flood campus like an army uniformed in shorts and tees. It suddenly seems like the student body has magically doubled and you can just feel the elation that the brutal Chicago winter is finally over. (Until it decides to snow mid-April, but let’s pretend that didn’t happen.) This issue, we wanted to touch upon all of the beauties of spring quarter, perhaps our most cherished time of the school year. From the glory of juicy summer fruits and spiked lemonade, to Mason jar salads and the best outdoor dining spots in Chicago, there’s nothing like warm weather to inspire you to eat well and explore the city. We even made ice pops from scratch (damn, those were good) and roasted an entire rack of ribs in an off-campus kitchen. We proved to ourselves that it can be done — now seriously, you should try it too. With summer break just a few weeks away, seize the newfound energy and excitement that spring brings us all and get adventurous. Happy eating, facebook.com/NUSpoon
