My freshman year at the University of Illinois I actually lost about 
18 pounds instead of gaining the dreaded "freshman 10" because I 
*loathed* the food served in the dining hall.  Plus, my dorm was a 
mile from the south end of the quad, so my activity went up 
drastically. But the one thing that my cafeteria did well was a 
creation called Tollhouse pie.  Essentially, if you made a huge 
chocolate chip cookie about an inch thick and put it in a pie crust, 
you'd have the tollhouse pie.  Warm in in the microwave for a minute 
and get some ice cream from the soft serve machine and Presto!  
Heaven on a plate!  They always had the desserts on a table to get 
them after you came through the main line, but on Tollhouse Pie 
night, you made darn sure you grabbed pie before going into the main 
line.  And, if you were smart, you grabbed two!  I was always amazed 
that they could make a divine dessert like this, but managed to screw 
up good ol' macaroni and cheese!
