Wellness Wednesday: Missing Moulton and Thorne

Finally!  Exams have concluded and we hope that everyone is enjoying a restful break thus far.  Though it has only been a few days for some, it has been months for those who have been abroad.  Wherever you’ve been, we know you’ve missed Bowdoin food (and those who just left campus a few days ago are bound to by the end of January).  But, did you know that Bowdoin Dining posts several of their favorite recipes on their website?  Here’s one for apple crisp!
