During Quarantine, some Westridge students have decided to test their culinary skills by perfecting the sourdough bread recipe or by making four-course meals for their families. In fact, I created a list in the spring of blonde women who had recently acquired sourdough starter. It ended up being over 30 names long by the time school was over.
I, on the other hand, have taken a new approach to eating. In the 5-minute breaks between classes, I find myself assembling the strangest combinations of items from my kitchen. I’ll grab a bag of dried mango, a bowl of cold lentil soup from the night before, and a cheese stick, for example.
I’ve learned that I am not the only one who makes sad quarantine snacks. While the blondes of Westridge concoct elaborate crème brûlées and roll out fine filo dough for their savory pastries, many other Westridge students use their time between advisory and A-block to throw together a more… eclectic breakfast spread.
Without further ado, here is a list of a few of the sad quarantine meals your editorial team has had over the past few months:

Without further ado, here is a list of a few of the sad quarantine meals your editorial team has had over the past few months:
- Quesadillas with a side of cream cheese
- Tempeh and my mom’s nasty gluten-free crackers with marmalade
- Blackberries, raw spinach, and a bowl of cereal
- Leftover pasta with cheese melted on top and a side of salsa
- An avocado
- Tortilla chips with hummus and tzatziki, a bite of cabbage salad, and a bag of walnuts
- A dumpling, a slice of leftover pizza (microwaved), and a chocolate bar
- Stale Cheerios and yogurt
- Raw, unsalted almonds
- Leftover soggy salad, whipped cream on one (1) strawberry, and super-seed chips
