[Every week, CC and John bring you some of the weirdest, funniest, saddest things he hears on his college campus. Join the Overheard revolution!
Leave your own overheard convos in the comments.]
1st girl: “I had a really nice, lovely, normal New Years’ kiss. No drama.”
2nd girl: “Yeah. Well, I ended up getting a kiss from my rabbit. He’s man enough for me.”
1st girl:”Cute!”
3rd girl: “I sat by myself and read Wikipedia while the ball dropped. Then my cat threw up.”
“Hey! Do that voice again! It’s like we’ve got two dads. The best Christmas party ever!”
“Bacteria turkey. That’s the grossest thing you can say. The way the words line up in your mouth. The subtle alliteration. It’s like, I want to vomit, but it’d be the most fascinating vomit ever. Think about it.”
“You know, there were plenty of other parties we could have gone to tonight.”
“I don’t think my sexuality is even a question any more. The only physical contact I have with other people is carrying drunk girls home from parties. I think my orientation is ‘transportation equipment.”
“Secretary? Yeah, can’t watch that with the folks. I don’t know what’s worse; the way my dad gets flustered and has to leave the room, or the way my mom starts taking notes.”
“Is this mulled cider? That means it’s cut with E, right?” Read More »

Who doesn’t love Indian food? If you don’t—well, then, I guess this isn’t a post you really want to be reading. For all of you with sound taste buds, though, please read on.
If you would like to make an awesome curry in your own kitchen with simple ingredients that tastes just like it came from the masala lunch buffet, then look no further. Bread, main dish, AND drink are all outlined here for you—so break out your notepads and get ready!
Chapatis
There’s nothing better to eat with a curry than chapatis, those delicious little flatbreads that you can use like spoons to scoop up large amounts of what you’re eating. For a great recipe, go here. Even though it seems completely bizarre to fry something in a skillet that has no oil or butter in it, it works like a dream for these breads.
Added tip: if you stack them up nicely and wrap them in foil, chapatis can be reheated and eaten again for up to two days after you make them.
Cauliflower Curry
One of my proudest strokes of culinary genius was devising this curry. I feel like I could eat it every day and STILL love every bite. It makes a lot (4-5 medium-sized servings), so have a party when you make it. Read More »

I’ve been told that I make the sweetest burritos ever. And of course my taste buds are biased…but I have to admit…my burritos are my favorite…and I think they’re pretty sweet, too.
My type of Mexican feast definitely has a taste that is a bit different from your normal greasy burrito. So here’s the secret:
You’ll need:
1 box of Mexican Rice (with seasoning)
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 jalapano pepper
1 jar of hot salsa
1 bag of cheddar cheese
1 tomato
1 can of black beans
Whatever meat you prefer, if you want.
Tortillas
Start to boil the water for the rice while you chop the peppers and the tomato. Begin to stir fry the peppers and tomatoes and put the rice in the boiled water. If you’ve got meat; throw it in with the stir fry. Read More »
