Oh my. Having lived there for my college years I can say that I was one of the intoxicated sinners. I still have a stomachache from these bad boys. They are NOT your late night friend. Never ate there in daylight.

I don't look gift horses in the mouth. (That is a gross comment...I don't look any horses in the mouth with them big old teeth).

We don't do V-day. I have true love every day. One needs to celebrate love EVERY day...it's a gift in itself.

I do buy my babies candy and their friends whose parents don't live nearby too.

I've had this before and it was DELICIOUS.

Teachertalk it's my favorite too. I love the food, the drinks, the whole place but I particularly like it because it makes me feel cool.
Trying to score a school visit out in May and it will be my first stop --oh yeah after the school, of course.

Have a drink first...See the drunk pizza girl video--It does make cooking easier...Oh yeah and read the recipe like three times. Get all the stuff you need out. Send everyone out of the kitchen. Blast tunes. Chillax. -It's food not someone's brain..realize if you make a mistake it's not the end of the world.

When I first starting cooking I was a fussy, stress case. Then I had 3 kids in 5 years and cooking became the least of my worries!!!

I live with lots of people and do interviews all day long....it might cut down on the amount of people I have to deal with!!!

While in Moldova (a small country near Romania, the poorest country in the EU) I ate the local delicacy of brown bread slathered with pork fat with raw garlic hunks covering the top of that....a smashing delight. Particularly with lots and lots of cognac and some other stuff that Moldovans make for the Russians..I was fairly sure I would be blind after drinking.
I did have to kick a stuffy English headmaster under the table after he announced he would NOT be eating such things...had to remind him we were in someones home and that he was being rude. When in Moldova...

We call the mix of every soda--a "hockey soda". Living at schools, a few years ago (till we fought it as a faculty) we had soda in the machines. Little kids and fac brats ALWAYS mixed.
You still can tell visiting little kids because they still mix even though it's sparkling water, regular water and lemonade. It's just fun to push the drink machine!

Always....it's the only thing that is going to get me into heaven --that and giving blood!

Monsanto is the devil according to BigMan who is an environmental science teacher. It's so bad he almost spits on the ground and crosses himself (pagan, he) when he hears the name.

I made this last year too and have terribly fond memories of it. Should have gotten 3 bags of meyer lemons when I saw them!

Pesto olives.

This is an issue we face at boarding schools. For a while we had this lovely server who felt the kids needed to eat more...when my own kids were little she served them mountains of food. I finally taught them to ask for very specific amounts of food..."May I please have 3 tablespoons of peas please?"etc.

We then moved to self-serve to see if that helps. It did a bit but now we even go one step further and let people serve themselves but there is a sort of monitor who kind of regulates how much kids take the first time. (You can eat as much as you want but you have to come back).

I think the answer to your question is both consumers and providers who waste food. I waste a lot of food and water and after spending time in countries where those are precious I have gotten better but is that really what it takes to be more responsible?

Attitude...dmc!

I post from a large boys' dormitory in a suburb of Connecticut or a lovely private home in a lake/golf ski community in Grantham, New Hampshire.

Sometimes I even post from my car but not while driving...
