On Baking and Breaking Bread

“Et tu, Maggie?” I asked myself after taking my first batch of cookies out of the oven. Google searches for “bread” have more than doubled since the pandemic started. I’m sure that you, like me, have been flooded with Instagram stories of banana bread, friends’ new baking accounts or one of the 168,000 and counting #quarantinebaking posts on Instagram.

Vast & Frozen: Dartmouth Explores Antarctic Circle

Wait, I Have an Accent? Exploring Dialects at Dartmouth

 “Where are you from?”  “Chicago.”  “Oh my gosh ChicAAHgo hahaha.” This strange phenomenon started on First-Year Trips. Every time I said the word “Chicago” people would, in unison, respond “ChicAAHgo,” exaggerating the harsh vowel sounds associated with the pronunciation ...
