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.
Right. Sir. Honey.

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.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.)

TOM SCOLA ROCKS!! YAY!
Jesse is busy. No worries, Tom and I will just gossip about you.
A comp day would be wonderful. I did come in an hour and a half late, I'll also probably leave early.

Right on. You're really nobody until people talk behind your back.

Keen! I may find two I think would blend in a tasty fashion and go that way.
I *heart* my digital thermometer and my double boiler.

I'd offer to help, but I'd have to bring the kids and Leif might destroy something or just make everything go slower. Well, that and geography.

Our wings are not tired.
Attn Mathy types: DH and I had some discomfort over one of my son’s math problems last night. He brought it to us because it didn’t see right to him. Both DH and I ended up getting the same answer which was 6.736842 or so. The reason we had the discomfort is because all the other answers on the page were whole numbers and could have been figured out without a calculator. It could be that the book gave one of the parameters wrong, because we have seen that before.
So the problem is to find n. We are given a drawing of an ordinary looking triangle and told that the perimeter is 32cm. Then there is a midsegment triangle that we think should have a perimeter of 16cm. The sides of the midsegment triangle are given as n, 7/8n, and 1/2n. So are we missing some logic here? I would really hate it if math gets beyond us when he is only in 8th grade.
