Saying "Paul Ryan" would probably be evil and wrong, right, Ginger? But, okay, maybe someone could make him *think* he had metastatic cancer for a month or two... it could be like the food-stamp challenge, but scarier.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I need cooking help again. Pete picked up pre-made shrimp and grits cakes from WF. How should I cook them? Pan fry? Bake?
They didn't come with instructions?
Man, biting into a pear that I'm not sure is ripe and finding that it is is a really wonderful feeling.
Nope. Pre-made fresh stuff that is purchased at the meat and fish counters never come with instructions. WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING.
Pan-fry, not too high of heat. Flip til nicely brown on both sides.
My 6th period is taste testing chocolate including ones with cracked pepper, chili, bacon, beef jerky and BBQ potato chips.
I've tried most of those. I made bacon fudge for my last dinner and Downton.
Jesse, your new place moves fast! Where I work, from interviewing to hiring often takes weeks.
I just saw Michael Ondaatje speak. (Except I was in the overflow room.) It was so great. I want to write novels and travel the world and listen to jazz now.
Thank you, Cass!

Yeah, it feels crazy fast to me, but it was actually four steps, each a week apart.
Ugh, sara. Teeth are the worst. Is our new piecemeal way really better than false teeth? I wonder. (I mean, I assume that's why so few people have dentures now, compared to my grandparents' generation. Fluoride and whatever has to be part of it, too, I guess.)
Also your dinner sounds delicious, Jilli.
Where I work, from interviewing to hiring often takes weeks.
Mine took three months from tentative hire to a start date. And six weeks more until I actually was finally cleared. Totally stress free. Not.
I was actually kind of hoping the position wasn't in the budget until January -- that would have been a lot easier for me! I move in two weeks, start the new job two weeks after that. Two weeks after that is Christmas, when I'll have a week off.
