In 45 minutes I get to write my test for the job at OPCW. It's a timed test. They email me a PDF at 8 my time and I have to email them a Word doc with my completed test by 10. I an surprisingly not terribly nervous, but I have been awake since 4:30.
Wish me test-ma and no tech glitches.
I suck at flash photography. I would rather use natural light and push my camera way past its limits than try to figure out the proper way to light a scene.
I'm a big fan of natural-light photography. You need a very fast shutter/very sensitive light-catcher-thing, though, or subjects that stay very very still.
ita, one suggestion for rice is boil it like you would pasta and then pour the water off. I've never tried it, but I know that people have great success with it: [link]
The other trick with rice (and quinoa) is to always rinse it. With rice it is rinse and drain at least 3 times. With quinoa it's rinse and scrape against a mesh colander for 2 minutes and then toast.
Good luck, Sue!
We gave out somewhere between 200-300 pieces of candy last night. A year ago we were still in our old house 6 blocks away and we had zero kids come to the door.
