"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

There's a gross article in this month's Marie Claire about a woman who was told by her doctor that she was "obese" at nearly 6 feet and like 175. Dude.

I don't cross the obesity threshold and I weight 215 lbs. at that height. Are they sure this guy was a doctor and not a fashion designer who thinks stethoscopes are the next big trend in accessories?

What I mean is that it's not like a given percentile is a grade. It's not like, "OH! 100th percentile! I have a better baby!" which is what I sometimes hear on the playground.

Well... if you plan on hooking the child up to a yoke and using them to plow fields, I guess the highest scores are best.

Yeah, seriously. Why not salsa verde, or a cooked tomato salsa? But lettuce? It's a whole different kind of thing!

I KNOW!

And they're still serving the cooked tomato salsa, so I was able to load up a container of that and pour it over my mini tostada. But still! Lettuce not the same as pico de gallo!

On the vine are supposed to be safe, cooked tomatoes safe. I don't know - can washing clean off salmonella?

Not according to NPR this morning. It definitely helps but the salmonella can get through the porous skin of the tomato.

I mostly eat grape tomatoes anyway so I'm not worried.

can washing clean off salmonella?

I don't think that's the issue. I think they are worried about salmonella entering the flesh of the tomato from the vine scar.

But still! Lettuce not the same as pico de gallo!

They both contain or are things you'd fine in the produce aisle?

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

Dulce de leche ice cream recipe.

And if you misread it and just whisk the dulce de leche into the milk/cream cold instead of melting it, the active "cooking" time is only about thirty seconds. (With no apparent negative effects on the final product.)

A co-worker just told me how much the students are complaining about me.

I beamed and said, "I am sure! They hate me!"

He said, "Well, you must be doing something right. The word in the hallways is that you killed the party."

hahahahahah.... maybe my rep for AP will be okay for next year after all.

oh man, Jessica, that sounds amazing. I need an ice cream maker or to get one of my ice cream maker having friends on it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Steph,that's probably more of what I meant. My diabetes -- well it makes an obvious difference. My asthma doesn't care if I eat a ho-ho. however, if I eat an oranges instead of ho-ho's my immune system get a boost and I might not catch the latest cold.

However, I will not give up ho-ho's.
