How is the cheesecake filling? I saw it at the market the other day, and I'm curious.
I like it. It doesn't have the same texture as a properly baked one, but it is as good as the better no-bake cheesecakes. It doesn't have that funny box-mix aftertaste that some of them do. I've used it with graham cracker crust, and it was good. It's also good with no crust for anyone who wants to trim out the extra sugars and starches of the crust. Tastes good with sliced strawberries (and I'm sure it would work with any fruit one likes with cheesecake), and really works with some Hershey's syrup.
Raq! It's good to see you here!
Laura's mention of Otter Lake just sent me off on a search for a lake somewhere around here where we could spend a few days with our tent. I might have to get my DH to investigate some of our hiking books for suggestions. But going and jumping in a lake sounds awfully good right now.
Also, I want these sandals, if anyone has $235 to spend on me. They'd be so cute on my feets! Sparkle toes!
There's cheesecake filling? I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I KNOW! I think we need more information, please. For SCIENTIFIC exploration.

I saw that at the grocery last night, and had conflicting feelings of "YUM!" and "EW!"
Or just go ahead and stuff some of that cheesecake filling directly into the intertubes.
Will provide own strawberries.
I've been trying to keep up with posting pix so the DH can stay abreast of my travails. We skype about once every other day for a couple hours, but much of that is taken up by Mal bouncing on my lap yelling "DaDEE! DaDEE!" and then showing Daddy all his cars and playing peekaboo and stuff.
Speaking of peekaboo, proud Mom moment: Mal dancing and singing along with Siouxsie on "Peekaboo"
Andi has schwag!

I am by no means someone who camps
wrinkles nose in distaste
but I have friends who do. Want I should ask?
Raq, when does Robert catch back up with you guys?
Speaking of cheesecake, they have this thing here called a quesito. It's a pastry filled with creamcheese and it has a sort of sweet, crunchy outside. It's probably a million calories, but very delicious.

No, I'm sure it's healthy and chock full of calcium.
Ok. I could use some help. I just got an e-mail back from the prof overseeing the tutoring seminar/program. She's wondering if, since we're both swamped with end of the semester stuff, if we could do this over e-mail. So, could you guys give me your thoughts about this e-mail?
I am primarily wondering about the structure of the program and the seminar. Let me break that down a bit into the questions that are running through my mind (and some of these may be answered by other questions).
*Is there a syllabus for the seminar that I could see? This actually may answer all of or most of the following questions.
*Is the seminar primarily a training course? Or, how much training do we receive?
*Could you tell me a little about the philosophy of the overall program? I have some ideas, based on things you said in the interview, but I think it would be helpful to have it stated for me. I sense that my process is very different than the one you suggest or employ. I want to make sure that if I sign on as a tutor that we are on the same page in ideas--or can get to that same page. And part of this goes back to the training question. I want to be the most effective tutor I can be, and I am certain that you and this program know how to help me do that. I guess I'm mostly wondering the "how" part of how you do that.
I take my commitments very seriously. Since you offered a place in the class to me, it is clear to me that you think we can be on the same page. Understanding more about the program would be very helpful for me at this point.
edited to show I can spell.
