Club Hoppin’: Cooking Club

When Jackie Stone decided to become a vegetarian at the tender age of 12, she didn't have a lot of cooking experience to rely on.

"My first year or so [as a vegetarian], I lived off of cereal, quesadillas and veggie burgers," she said.

After years of practice, Stone gradually increased her repertoire of recipes, looking for new kinds of vegetables and protein substitutes that could be incorporated into healthy, easy-to-make meals. Stone not only adapted the vegetarian lifestyle, but she fell in love with cooking.

Did you go to Yollege?

For seemingly obvious reasons, college websites don't tend to provide information on the hottest nightspots or where the cutest guys and girls congregate. However, that's not to assume that a lot of us wouldn't find this information helpful.

UC Davis graduates Michael Kim and Dan Greenberg solved this problem with yollege.com. Both said that they like to think of the website as an insider's guide to everything one needs to know about the college experience.

Seeing the world in a whole new way

A man's curiosity led him into the operating room to undergo a procedure that could restore his vision or take his life. After unwrapping the bandage, he could see the world again after 43 years of blindness. But was the world what he expected, or was it all just a big disappointment?

Eight years after his surgery, Michael May spoke on Tuesday night at the Davis Musical Theatre Company about his experiences before and after regaining his eyesight. The lecture was hosted by Explorit Science Center.
