When I was in student teaching, I remember seeing the results of a district math assessment. I was pleased to note that the one section that I had taught entirely on my own was the one was the one in which every student had scored Proficient.

When I saw the title I thought "I won't even play because someone will say 'balut' ". And I've eaten some nasty shit in my world travels.

No. I love cheese. I have never found one I can't eat regardless of smell. Durian smells like rotting corpse.

I was first introduced to huitlacoche through the "Steve, Don't Eat It!" series (which was great and I wish it was still being updated): http://www.thesneeze.com/2005/steve-don… gahhhhhhhh. D:

I LOVE SAUSAGE! (shut up) Any kind of sausage (shut up) any time I can get it (shut up) ALL THE TIME I CAN GET SAUSAGE! (shut up) 😜

I had pig blood pâté once, in Paris, and it was really great. It was a small restaurant and the owner ordered it for us and didn't tell us what it was until after we had eaten it. I'm glad he waited to tell us.

I tried durian ice cream. It pretty much tasted like it smelled; which is to say that it tasted like someone made ice cream out of distilled garbage juice that they pulled out of a filthy NYC gutter in the middle of a heat wave.

If you're curious as to what Balut looks like:

This is where my Asian background comes into play!

I get it, E.L. James' writing is so expressive and realistic that perhaps Christian Grey truly did come alive for you in your imagination.

That seems kind of strange to me, when you have an effort to reclaim the label. So many people are "afraid" of the word feminist, and I don't think that will change by making MORE people afraid to use the word.

Sriracha is one of the last things on this earth I would call exotic. They have it at Subway.

Originally from Michigan, he strove for an anti-capitalist lifestyle, the pinnacles of which were his militant veganism and leadership in the biking community.

I can totally see this. Think of places that serve chicken wings so hot you have to sign a waiver beforehand. I like spicy food, but if your dining experience could be described as "excruciating," what's the point? Just take your dicks out and measure them, fellas. We'll make a chart with the results. For science.

My point being, the only thing worse than someone bragging about being a feminist is someone refusing to admit that they are a feminist. (In my opinion.)

Because its a very low risk to continue on like this. Most of the bigger brands have their stuff made in other countries, they don't bother to quality check other than the basic "are we poisoning people, because that'd be bad" stuff.

Why are people so determined to believe that medical science is a big fat conspiracy while naturopaths and nutritionists selling pills are bound to be on your side?

He turns to his bright-eyed eight year old, sitting but two feet from me, and says, "You see son? This is why you should stay in school."(FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU)
