It took this recipe for me to realize I’ve been creaming butter and sugar wrong all my life.

In what sad world do you live in such that there is left over mozzarella?

At a sleepover when we were 12-13 one of my friends *insisted* that you make french toast by mixing in a stick of unmelted butter into the egg/milk mixture. The other 3 of us were able to convince her otherwise, thankfully. I did have fun bringing this up at her wedding shower when she unwrapped a griddle though. :D

I like the cut of your jib.

The cleanser definitely made me break out :( My skin doesn’t react well to acidic stuff (no citrus oils, etc) but I liked everything else so far. The hair serum and brow pencil are amazeballs. If the lipgloss samples had come in something that wasn’t single use, those would have been my favorite.

Worst: Coming back from a fencing tournament (in NM (to DC). Return flight goes something like this: Albuquerque ->Denver -> Chicago -> Dallas -> Atlanta -> Columbus -> Philly -> (via train) DC. Rental car was not an option because I was a minor and traveling alone.

We hit our cookie targets pretty easily but you’re not going to pay for adventure camp with each girl selling cookies even if everyone accounts for an average of 500 boxes per girl. The challenge was coming up with other ways to make money so we spent a lot of time cleaning up stadiums after minor league games and…

In another life, this would be my dad.

Not so much for weight, but definitely for fitness IMO. You can always be faster/stronger/have more stamina.

I just give them cash. If you don’t take cookies in return, that money goes straight to the troop as a donation. The troop only gets about $0.80 per box.

I’m not my company’s IT person but it took me FOREVER to pound this into people’s heads that just because our freelance IT guy knows how to keep the network running doesn’t mean he knows how to set up our design software or any of the more complicated electronic survey equipment we use.

I’m betting there’s a ramp underneath the hitch somewhere.

Your 8th grade class sounds awesome.

As a civil engineer, I wish more people knew how much work and planning goes into infrastructure maintenance and construction. I can guarantee that the lane closure that annoys you every morning is the least disruptive way we can do the work that’s needed. Also, don’t wait until the end of the fucking merge/taper lane…

There’s also the fact that we/they (I’m generally the person who orders lane closures rather than performs them) have certain standards that we have to follow in how the lane closure is set up, ie how long the transition is to close down a lane, number of signs, etc.

I think it was some kind of anti-cheating thing but given that I never saw any of my exams again, I don’t know. What I do know is that my bridge engineering final was a shit show because I initially spent 2 pages (did I mention we were using blue books in 2011?) doing the wrong calculation so then I had to draw arrows…

Once I discovered mechanical pencils in 5th grade, that was it. Mechanical pencil, type, or GTFO...until grad school where we were forced to hand write the engineering exams in pen.

But it *looks* like it should be fast...

MD usually has them replaced within a week (on most of the major roads I see regularly).

What if your calves didn’t fit?
