A night with Chabad

Every Friday night, 40-50 students gather at the Chabad House for a beloved weekly tradition: Shabbat dinner. It is more than just a dinner; it is a family, a tradition and a home.

Plant-based brand “rootberry” arrives at Miami

Rootberry is an entirely plant-based brand based mostly out of St. Louis, but its food is sold in various places around Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin. With their recent arrival to Oxford, Miami University has officially become their first Ohio location. 


The Starbucks location on High Street closes at 8 p.m. and remains closed until 5:30 a.m. during the week.

Maybe it’s because Oxford is approximately 10,000 miles away from the closest civilization or because it’s too difficult to get staff that’ll accept low pay. Either way, about once a week, I find myself in desperate need of a late night snack or a 2 a.m. coffee, with nowhere to go.

‘The Weekly Veg:’ Chicken-fried mushrooms with pepper gravy

Some people are mushroom-haters, and that’s okay. But I’m proud to say that this recipe, a Carla Hall original in collaboration with plant-based brand Califia, turned at least a few of the more anti-fungi The Miami Student staff members into, at the very least, tolerators of the ‘shroom.

TMS Friendsgiving rankings

We held our annual newspaper Friendsgiving the Sunday before break, and it did not disappoint. But in the spirit of journalism, I thought I’d investigate… Who brought the best dish?

Calzones and comedy: the unlikeliest of duos

Calzones have always fascinated me. They’re often compared to pizza, with both being from Italy and standardly consisting of dough, tomato sauce and cheese, plus whatever other toppings the devourer desires.

‘The Weekly Veg’: Pawpaw bread

When I asked if Abby would be willing to teach me a traditional Myaamia recipe for the return of the Weekly Veg column, she was happy to do so! And so, I present to you the recipe she showed to me: pawpaw bread.
