    I have 50 pages of research punning the word "hang" in every possible way except the obvious obscene ones. Now, that was a feat. I am the same way with notes. I think it is a form of body memory. Not a neuroscientist really, but I think it has to do with the way in which you have to process sound into writing/visuals via your body movement.

    It's a girl thing, too. The good news is that you can make it to grad school even if you can't sit down still. I mean, I did still nicely in class, but I pace when I read/think, and "chair dance" when I am writing/dancing to the perplexity of my colleagues. Not for nothing, I am writing a diss on the physiology of body movement in reading/writing techniques

    Ok, thanks! I am planning a Red Velvet Angel Cake soon...

    Yay! Well done shadowicewolf! A completely random question for you - is there any natural red food coloring you can have? I am looking for natural reds I can use for a red cake...

    Hugs shadowicewolf. Try not to think about school for a while. Your hands any better? Could it be an allergic reaction or something? A friend of mine had a t-shirt made for me. It has my motto "my body is trying to kill me" written right on my bum. So next time I go running I will be a living ad for autoimmune disease awareness!

    Oh, gee, now I have to look for sumac... Except that I have filled my spice counter, and it's either another jar of spices, or my roommate, and spices don't pay rent, so... Does anyone here know where I can find piri piri in the US? I have been searching high and low, with no success. It also took me a while to find tandoori spices Dinner is grapefruit...

    I had a mixed greens salad with butternut cubes, caramelized apple slices, cranberries, walnuts, goat cheese, and sliced chicken. Dessert was chocolate and a marron glace.

    Oh, 'shroom, I am so sorry (((((hugs)))))

    Hey, that's good to know - I'm taking a friend out before the Messiah at Carnegie Hall, would you recommend that bistro? And are the gluten-free friendly?

    Love2travel, same here! First thing I did was trying to find recipes - I need to learn how to treat game, because I love game meat. I also find that game meat is, in some cases (not all), more humane than factory farm meat, which I have entirely cut out of my fare (which implies cutting out whole sections of dining institutions). Though my finding recipes...

    ROFL. I want that Kindle. Oh, wait - my surname means "kindle."

    A friend took me to a restaurant. I had half a bottle of Italian red wine, a small mixed greens salad, braised venison with red wine reduction, oven roasted potatoes, leafy greens, and chestnut puree. I also had flourless hazelnut-chocolate cake with whipped cream and moscato wine for dessert. Now I am sleepy...

    Hugs Loey, and 'shroom. That's not fun. I am glad you are ok now.

    Made coconut-herbed pizza with cherry-tomato sauce, cayenne pepper, oregano, garlic, baby romaine and jumbo shrimp. Not bad, for a first time, but a pizza in a brownie pan is a bit sad.

    Well done! I've never managed to make crumble! My diabetic mum is organizing a gluten-free, grain-and-legume free version of our Christmas dinner for me.
  16. ButterflyChaser
    Make sure you post the recipe! I went to the supermarket to buy a bar of Michel Cluziel chocolate. A random gentleman in coat, shades, and hat screams at me in the aisle: "where's the mayonese???" I jerk, and falter "It's, uh, erm, I think, maybe that way... I... I... I don't know, I never bought mayonese!" "Oh, don't bother. I thought you worked...

    I doubt it. Last time my mac was on repair they asked me if I'd ever spilled anything on the keyboard. I gainsaid. And fluttered my eye-lashes.
  18. ButterflyChaser
    I snorted in my tea

    ugh, you've been lucky - I was thinking more like revolting purple cheetah print tulle underwear. Where is the barf icon when you need it???
  20. ButterflyChaser
    psawyer - I think you are right, point taken. Though I confess it is very difficult to just sympathize, and not feel that expressions of sympathy will never be enough. At least it is for me. On the topic of udesirable gifts: hideous sexy lingerie. Also, a one way train ticket to a far off place might be interesting. I am perverse, so I would like to give...

    Are you ALLOWED to do that?!?!? Why did they tell me it wasn't possible? They would... and they wourld't. If we look at hard data and compare #of firearms in the country, ratio per person, and deaths by firearm in the US and other Western countries (say, the UK), it is undeniable to see a correlation between how easy it is to get a firearm and how easy...

    Vydor - absolutely, says the lady who has been in school since K12 (too sickly a child for pre-k) and who's on degree number God-help-me-I-have-lost-counts! My parents called six hours ago to make sure my CT friends were ok. I used to shoot, but I really think stricter regulations would be in order. On a random note: my last loaf of gluten-free bread...
  23. ButterflyChaser
    Totally legit, says the lady who has been in school since elementary (too sick for pre-K) and is working on god-help-me-I'm-confused-what-degree-number-is-this, and secretly (or not so secretly) plans to get a couple of degrees in psychoanalysis... My family called me from Italy to make sure my CT friends were ok. That's crazy. Poor families. I can't...

    'shroom, are you in MY class? I have chosen to teach adult undergraduates at a big uni. They actually have a fabulous program, because these students are in class with teenage freshmen, except for the mandatory class I teach (makes sense: it's mandatory, but some of them work, they need to give them reserved spots). Those people are so engaged - they...

    Thanks! The first two were good, one was actually awesome. I will miss this seminar - I had a wonderful group. Have been receiving grateful and heartfelt emails for the past couple of days, which is pretty moving. Yeah, I am a softie. Personally, I think there should be no grades.
