Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Askye, your success at this store is excellent news!
No fever so I don't think so.
Erm, the person I accompanied to the ER who tested positive for H1N1 influenza never had a fever - never got above 98.4 - which is a smidge high for that person but not even a whole degree higher than usual. So I'm not taking fever as a must-have for influenza any more.
Timelies all!
Yay, Askye!
Huh. Well that's confusing.
Jesse, I hope they figure out your shoulder. I had AC repair surgery 6 years ago today. After months and months of "oh, its your rotator cuff, you just need to strengthen the muscles". Anyway, immediate relief after the surgery - was using my shoulder the day after.
Oh wow! Dr. Google told me a sling for 4-6 weeks? I am hopeful there is a useful plan either way.
I got called into my manager's office, he said it wasn't bad news...and it was great news. I was employee of the month for Jan!
Congrats, Askye!!
They are having a pie contest at work next week, and I feel like I should enter.... but I never really make pies! One thought is, there is a prize for best savory pie, so maybe I should make pork pie? Odds are decent that there are enough French-Canadians who will know what it is, maybe. But anyway, do people have good pie ideas?
It really is a shame National Pie Day is Jan 23
Make pork pie!
Congrats Askye!
Maybe it's not the season for this, but this Lemon Meringue Ice Cream pie is always a winner: [link]
(I always make it with a gingersnap crumb crust.)

I have this weird low body temp (like my normal is around 95), so if I am at 98 or 99 I feel horribly feverish. The doctors discount it, but my nurse co-workers tell me if I feel feverish and my temp is 99, I probably am. This came up while I was trying to get antibiotics for my tooth.

That looks amazing! Maybe I'll try it.
One of the cool things I leaned at Old Sturbridge Village is that seasonal foods were partly a result of when certain foods were available, as well as the lack of refrigeration. So you'd have egg custard pies in the summer, because the hens are laying up a storm, but later in the winter, you'd have more cakes because the hens slack off in the cold.
(Also, once the weather was reliably cold and the grass wasn't growing, that was the time that you slaughtered your beef cattle, so you didn't have to feed them over the winter, and the large amount of meat could be kept on ice, or smoked or salted, et cetera.)
