I really wish I was not flat broke, as I have been dying to try the things suggested in that "advanced sushi" article ita linked to way back when. I'd really love to give it a try some time, and be given the chef's best attentions.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Plea for web-crawling assistance: could someone search out for me a table of, say, average yearly temperature (or average temperature for e.g. July) over 20 or more years? The idea is that it would be a site I could tell hypothetical 9th graders to go and gather data from so that they could make a graph. They really are hypothetical, so I'm not too fussed about whether strictly speaking it's an accurate way to measure climate change or whether it's even measured right -- it's just that all I can find are graphs, and since that's what I want their endproduct to be, it oughtn't to be the beginproduct as well.

They never told me to ban sushi, but the caffeine and booze rules held when nursing.
The lactation nurses also said a little coffee's fine, and that if you want a beer, have a beer, just drink it right after you've nursed so it doesn't mess with your flow.
The lactation nurses were what one might call a hoot.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
How about NOAA climate data tables? [link]

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
dcp, that's almost it, except it's giving one average figure (per month) over thirty years, rather than thirty yearly averages. Ideally, I'd like the students to be able to chart the temperature/wind speed/incidents of spontaneous combustion/immaculate conceptions over a period of years, and make some guesses as to trends in the data.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Plei! Still around?
I'm looking for a term that's been teasing around the edges of my brain, refusing to come into the light so I can decide if it's right for a scene I'm working on. It's a horsey term, something about a line breeding true, only more colorful. (I'm not even sure it exists, but if it does, I want to figure it out.) I want to have a character with a farmboy streak use it, humorously, of a family he meets with a strong, distinctive family look.

quester - they forgot to grab the post
I couldn't believe that the gay couple said "Uchenna and Joyce are made for this" or whatever it was. Also, Rob and Amber seem so lucky when it comes to winning extra trips.
