Truck goes nuts with PBJ

In my previous experiences, food trucks have always seemed to provide somewhat interesting and unusual foods, such as Korean barbeque or ridiculous types of waffles. However, the Monster PBJ food truck takes a classic sandwich reminiscent of elementary school lunches and expands it into a plethora of different styles of peanut butter and jelly. Monster PBJ boasts an all-vegetarian menu, gluten-free options, fresh-ground nut butters and locally produced jellies. When I went, the two employees were incredibly friendly and goofy. They made the already odd experience of buying peanut butter and jelly from a truck even more ridiculous.

The Fifth Lap

During my time at Rice, our rivalry with the University of Houston has seemed, for lack of a better word, forced.

Editorial Exchange

In the spirit of our friendly rivalry with the University of Houston, the editorial boards of The Daily Cougar and the Rice Thresher have exchanged editorials. In anticipation of Saturday's football game, these two editorials are running in both newspapers this week. This is one of the biggest athletic events of the year, and we hope to see a huge Blue and Gray turnout at Reliant Stadium this weekend. We don't want to be outdone by Cougar High.
