OK, I'm pretty sure I've figured out which cousin it is on ancestry.com, and I'm almost positive that this is going to cause Drama. I so don't want to be in the middle of this.

Nasalcrom helps an awful lot
I can't help hearing Arnold's voice saying "By Crom!" whenever I hear the name of that product.

How to Cook Everything is a great book for a beginner cook
I may have to look for that the next time I'm at Half Price Books. I need a good basic cookbook.

just reply "sorry, I only share information with family members"
It's not so much sharing information that I'm concerned about, but more that, every time this cousin gets back in contact with the family, drama ensues. She tends to fall out of contact for years, then call somebody, get into a huge argument with someone within a few months, and then disappear for another few years. She's been not talking to my mother since about 1995.

So not ready for this. OK, so next week, while in CA for the PixDesign soiree, I have an interview at the university where I was asked to apply (seems forever ago, hope y'all recall me mentioning head explodey). So? What the heck, if anything, do I bring? The online application was pretty extensive. I had to list jobs worked at, then enter an e-version of resume, then attach resume. So it seems crazy to bring copies of my resume. But it also seems strange to walk in empty handed. And it's a panel. Dunno why I'm nervous already. Yikes.

I love it. Lots of basic recipes with tons of variations.

Thrive to spite them
I need a good basic cookbook.
It's really good, the one I gave Dad is the revised edition. I've wanted it for myself for ages and I'll probably get it. One of the features I like a lot is Mark Bittman will give a basic recipe, say Basic Tomato Sauce, and then he'll list 15 or so easy ways to vary it. Or a basic way to Saute Chicken and then things you can do to change it up. Plus there are pictures and lots of indepth detail.

I have New Basics Cookbook for this and love it. Feel free to browse through it next time you are in town, if you'd like.
I look things up in it all of the time.
Having something that give you basics and variations is a great thing to have.
eta: Having something is a great thing to have? Awesome. I've stopped making sense.

My copy of How To Cook Everything is ripped out of the binding in several sections. Really great. I still go back to it all the time.

What the heck, if anything, do I bring?
Notes for yourself, maybe? A copy of your resume might work for that, come to think of it, and you could scribble things in the margins if you think of anecdotes or good answers to questions. Reminders to breath.
It sounds like you've given them everything they'll need, though it never hurts to have an extra copy of the resume just in case some wacky thing happens and they come up short a copy. But I'm thinking you could concentrate on things that'll be helpful for you.
Sounds like an exciting opportunity, good luck!
