Yeah, you could, but then you'll have to find holiday presents for everyone. Yes.

HOORAY!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Jessica! Got any chocolate recs for covering my caramels-to-be?

I'm making the caramels tonight, and covering them over the weekend.

I will attempt to avoid eating them all at once.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Skipped like 80 billion posts.

business travel is the most tired making.

the cold weather finally came, now everyone in my office is getting sick.

Anyone want to come over to my place this weekend to help with furniture moving and shelf hanging up? I have beer.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Anyone want to come over to my place this weekend to help with furniture moving and shelf hanging up? I have beer.

Sure!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I totally would, except tomorrow I have to be at school for a meeting at 10 and then write two papers and Sunday I have a meeting at 3, basically killing the whole day.

I feel like business travel should always come with a comp day, but of course you're just more behind after not being at your desk.

IMO, brand doesn't matter so much -- any relatively high-end chocolate will do. The trick is to heat it to about 90-95 degrees F so that when it cools it gets that shiny snappy texture. (Alton Brown recommends using an ice cream scoop for the dipping -- dip the scoop into the chocolate, then roll the truffle/caramel around in the scoop to get a thin even coating.)
