So how is the Winchester Mystery House? I've never seen it.
Burrell, I thought it was very cool, like a big quirky dollhouse. I think doing the two tours (the mansion tour and the behind-the-scenes tour) was a bit long for the kids. Each tour was a little over an hour and, because the first tour had lots of stragglers, we ended up with very little break time between them. I found the second tour interesting, because I loved learning how a house/farm like that was run, but I'm not sure I would recommend it for most people. It's only a few dollars more to do both, so I think our bargain-hunter natures got the better of us.
Wait, so that means you don't *think* in the metric system, but rather in your feet and inches? Even when you work with the centimeters and their friends?
That's strange. I can't imagine working in units if I don't have a good intuition regarding their sizes.
Some folks here *can* think in metric, but most of us can't. We convert back and forth all the time!
Someone once commented that if the US ever converts to the metric system the only people who'll be comfortable with it will be scientists and drug dealers.
I continue to be bummed out by the tomato thing -- my "chef's salad" today is only lettuce and meat.
lisah, the kitchen is amazing!
Jesse, I've been cutting up cherry tomatoes and putting them in everything they're being left out of. Fast food burger? Takes about 3. Buggers are trickier to slice, but...
I just keep forgetting. I was getting all riled up to call Au Bon Pain headquarters to complain, before I remembered. At least the local-chain I was at the other night gave me tomatoes on my sandwich.
Freshdirect wouldn't even let me order regular tomatoes this week, even though NY, NJ and just about anywhere else my tomatoes might come from are all on the FDA's "safe" list. Feh.
Nope, they're currently only offering cherry, grape, and vine-on. (And when I was ordering yesterday, they had run out of both grape and vine-on.)
I can think in the metric system for small quantities, like the sizes we dealt with in science classes, but not for bigger quantities.
I woke up achy all over. My back, my shoulders, my arms, my neck, and achy. Must have slept funny or something.
