Harvard Today: Sept. 3, 2013

It may be Day 1 of the Fall 2013 semester, but it’s not Monday. All classes that normally meet on Tuesdays will meet today. If you need a break, treat yourself to an early afternoon trip to the Farmer’s Market for a demonstration by Joanne B. Chang '91 of Flour Bakery.

IN THE ATMOSPHERE

The temperature will be in the high 70s—still incredibly humid—with a chance of rain. Pack an umbrella just in case, but keep your fingers crossed for a sunny first day of shopping week.

IN THE D-HALLS

Everything tastes good at the beginning of the semester—enjoy it while it lasts.

On the Lunch Menu:
Baked Penne Bolognese
Crispy Swai Fish Sandwich
Falafel Sandwich

On the Dinner Menu:
BBQ Chicken
Cider Steamed Mussels
Scheherazade Casserole: Bulgar, Tomato and Soybean Casserole
