Additions I

This is the first post in what will probably be a series, in which I tell you some easy additions to campus food that make them a lot better. Ingredients that you can buy at the C-Store (Brandeis’s on-campus store – yours probably has a similar sort of deal) are marked with *.

*Tabasco sauce makes pizza so much better
Tomato paste makes the tomato sauce in the dining hall much denser, instead of its usual soupy consistency
Oregano or red pepper flakes impart actual flavor to the dining hall tomato sauce

N.B. If possible, get a tube of tomato paste instead of a can so you can reuse it later.
