Just listen for the unmistakable sound of groans in reaction to his ignorant uneducated brand of stupidity; and there you will find him staring back at you with a dumb look on his face, unfocused eyes glazed-over, and a bit of drool leaking out at the corner of his gaping maw.


Is that when he caught his folks getting busy in the hot tub?
 
You could skip topping altogether or just use butterscotch and/or peanut butter chips.


I put thin chocolate layer on when I make them cause DH likes it. But my mom always put a thick layer. Which makes sense because siblings like it. But I was always picking it off, too rich.

Reading that article, I have two thoughts.

1. I like that appetizer thingy with the green apples and brie cheese.

2. Who would have thunk the currently much-mocked Red Delicious apple revolutionized the pie world?

Also, who eats Golden Delicious apples? Chewy skin. Mushy fruit. Smells like an apple but doesn't really have any taste at all. Even the skin color is sort of the color of some baby poop.
Red Delicious started out as Hawkeye apples so I will no longer eat them.
 
Speaking of restaurants. On the last day of our upcoming trip, we're going to eat at a restaurant in Hoboken on Frank Sinatra Blvd called Blue Eyes. I thought that was kind of cool.

And like a poorly trained puppy, we'd all miss him if he wasn't there. Actually, I never go into the cave so I haven't heard anything from him and don't really miss him.

It's Mpls, to great a fear of being shot. :rolleyes:

BTW, got detoured off of 42nd street in NE Mpls over by North Victory Memorial early Tuesday evening (you can't drive more than 5 miles max with a detour.) Detour put me through a neighborhood I would not have driven through after dark in a Boxster with it's top down. Car's 16 years old but I'd still be looking like some white dude from Edina or something. Typical official detour, not straight down and over or anything, left, right, left, straight, right, left etc. This is essentially the neighborhood of the latest police shooting controversy here in the metro.
We were just in that area Saturday at the St. Petersburg Vodka Bar. Upstairs, it's a sorta Russian bar/restaurant. Downstairs, there's a VFW. It's one of the few places around that still plays Rat Pack music.
 
I thought about that and I think I'm gonna do it next year. Like have the internet try to make the plant grow. They'll vote whether to water it or not each day.

There was a subreddit that did it but they dropped it.
Twitchplayspokemon was a lot of fun.
 
********************

So many words coming, but it's a no. Dude went down to the wire before taking the job.
Search chair sent a nice note. Somehow this dude has years of experience in the exact courses they wanted to teach and a strong publication record.

Since newly-minted PhDs don't come with more teaching experience than me AND he piled in the publications, I suspect this chap has been faculty at some school and managed not to make the tenure cut. Along the way there, and this is how my job quests usually are, he was more than likely impossible to beat and I damn near did it.

I can about guarantee that I won the interview. I always do. With the responses and the rare feedback from the process (it's really unusual in academic searches, so they thought really highly of me), there's a real good chance that the committee even recommended me and then was overruled by the department chair, which would mean that I won the game and got Kansas'd or Crafted right in the end.

So, ***************************. Should have had that one, but I know that outstanding programs will go to the wire with me, and the chair was pretty nice in her expression that the job search should be good to me next time around.

I lost this round. I'm pissed off, but I see a clear strategy from the feedback I received that can make me the ringer next time around.
