Funnel cake is one of those awesome snacks that you only get to eat one or twice a year.. until now. A roommate of ours found this recipe in Food Network Magazine, and surprise it was actually as easy as they said it would be and as tasty as the authentic versions at Hershey Park and Disney. It takes about 5 minutes to prep, 10 minutes to heat the oil and a minute per cake. While the recipe calls for a deep fryer, we made do with a large pot filled with canola oil, so its definitely something you can make in your dorm.
Check out the recipe below, trust us, its worth it.

Ole Tapas
We were both looking for a new take on Newark Dining, since by May students are tired of the classic Main Street options. Ole Tapas, On Capitol Trail just won best new restaurant in 2009 and is continuing to prove that its got a new take on Spanish cuisine. We went tonight and lets just say our palates were really happy.
The menu has over 30 great tapas options. In Tapas, you order a bunch of small plates to share with who you're with. Ole Tapas suggests ordering about three per person- this was more than enough food for us, but guys, maybe you'll want more.
Here's what we tried:
Bocata De Puerco- $6- braised pork belly min- sandwich with fennel slaw
Higos Con Cabrales- $6- bacon wrapped figs with cabrales
Polo Muruno- $7- Stewed chicken with winter squash and chick peas
Gambas Rebosadas- $7- crisp florida pink shrimp with saffron aioli
Paella Mini- $7- miniature seafood and chorizo paella
Tapas Del Dia- (today it was $7 and was roasted asparagus with tomatoes and capicolla
Best of the night was the bacon wrapped figs with cabrales, the mixture of sweet and salty hid every taste note and was completely delicious. The only one we wouldn't recommend getting again would be the stewed chicken- it was a bit wattery. The tapas is delicious but also be sure to look out for Sunday nights "all you can eat paella" for $15. A steal for the complex dish with both fish and chorizo.
So take a walk on the wild side and try something out of the Main Street beaten path, and until next time- Keep Craving!
