The workers on up will be affected! They were bagging loads of rotting produce for the pigs.<br /><br />@Funny--Isn't that the greatest quotation? I started teaching a little American lit--just for a change. I'm so glad--if only for finally getting around to Emerson.

It was a great kick-off for a discussion first of what really matters in education, life, the universe and all that and then a segue into a little spiel on what elements of one's writing are most important to concentrate on, and why. And how you can avoid committing intellectual suicide by "imitating" (i.e., echoing a party line) when you think a professor will grade you down for writing something that conflicts with his or her political or philosophical views.Funny about Moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188173788063351801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-40306625473129855782010-04-20T04:12:13.558-05:002010-04-20T04:12:13.558-05:00Having read that the volcanic eruption in Iceland ...Having read that the volcanic eruption in Iceland may halt importation of fresh fruit and veg to Britain, I wonder if I need to be stocking up on tinned and frozen (yuck). Think I'll just try to hold out until the garden produces something.

(cooking = opening a can of tuna, you know). Thanks for the tuna! It's funny because I read that Milton poem the other day and was reminded how beautiful it is. Maybe we're on the same wavelength.Emma Fickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655014167534653968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-91207589289182916872010-04-19T10:48:03.612-05:002010-04-19T10:48:03.612-05:00@Chance--Good ideas.

I am going to be writing of my strategies for this project.<br /><br />@Duchesse--Great recipe idea. I think I'll make it myself. I still have tuna I bought in Italy a few years ago.

A can of diced tomatoes, 3 cans of black beans (only Goya), a can of corn, chicken stock, garlic and onions (these could be the appropriate powders I suppose), chipotle pepper, a pound of ground turkey (the only thing that has to be fresh bought). If it were me, I might print off the recipe, measure out the spices in advance into a little bag and hand over. Turkey chili can feed friends nicely. Does she have a hot plate? Microwave? Dorm Fridge? If she actually cook there, I would add lots of chicken stock in a box and dried noodles.Chancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817696993042085671noreply@blogger.com
