hey pods, i'm trying to get the details for the people who want to hang in NYC but won't be in jersey friday night
where are we meeting? preferred restaurant or what?
well I was going to take you to this thai place I took nexus a few years ago, but I can meet you at the path if that's easier for you.
your call. if PATH is out of the way from the restaurant then don't bother, i can usher everyone to where we need to be
i went to school in queens so i know my way around the city a bit, i just want to be able to give people something a little firmer than "we're eating with pods at 1 in manhattan"
what say you?
where is the place?
Well the place is on St. Mark's (east 8th) in east village, off of lafayette/broadway and astor square.
Some of you may recall that I was really pissed when my platoon was taken from me because we got a new medic who happens to be a sergeant and they gave the platoon to him, reassigning me to work in treatment. At a hospital.
Well we've got one platoon open in another company. It's not the recon platoon, I guess, but it's at least an infantry platoon. Apparently that spot is open because they realized that the guy who's assigned to it now has two months of dwell time left and isn't deploying with the rest of us.
The senior medic for that company walked into the aid station where a bunch of us were bullshitting because that's all there is to do in an aid station and says "Which one of you wants to work for me?"
And I was like ME ME ME OHMIGOD MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Well the issue with the Betty Crocker would have been more about the 50's image it had as a housewife staple. That roommate can be a little bit of a silly goose sometimes. But none of the girls could cook before they met me. And I've been teaching one of the other boyfriends quietly on the side.
The good thing about Betty Crocker is that the recipes are easy, cheap, and quick
The problem with Betty Crocker is that it is bland, not especially good, and relies far too much on pre-made ingredients. It often comes down to mixing a packet of this powder with a cup of that powder and the contents of these two cans.
It doesn't really end up teaching good cooking skills or habits I don't think.
I have an Alton Brown cookbook that I think is a pretty great primer and teaches some great basic skills and their rationale.
Is this the origin of all those people in the cooking thread suggesting recipes that use cans of soup as a basic ingredient?

Were I to win a lotto jackpot, I'd probably spend the first little while (maybe a year or so, depending) going around doing meetups with various internet peoples. See the world, meet some internet pals, enjoy the hell out of life? Sure!

There is an argument in favor of teaching someone to work from scratch at the beginning. But I think a lot of it is going to depend on your students. Scratch is going to take longer, especially for things like pasta and if they don't have time, then they will lapse back into the same terrible habits. If you can acquire the habit of cooking, then you can always improve from there.

Eff that, I would bribe everyone to move to the same city.

So he's like "Well what's your PT score?"
To which I said 320
So
He'll "think about it"
is 320 good?
It's off the goddamn charts.
Literally. The maximum score you can get is a 300.

I guess. I will admit that I use pre-made stocks pretty much whenever I'm cooking. I just don't use enough of it to justify actually making up batches of stock.

All the greek girls I knew had some hair but hot damn they could cook
Okay I feel good about today. I went for a walk in the park while it was sunny. I forgot how much of a toll being fully nocturnal takes on your mood. An afternoon outside on a warm, sunny day does fucking wonders for your mood.
Also I decided to start cooking again, and that is always a good investment of time.

I don't mean stock, I mean literally cans of soup. Like, a pasta bake will use a can of Campbells cream of mushroom as the sauce. Pre made stock I can understand.

I hear you. I forget how much I miss the sun until its a nice day outside.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

But then I don't get to see the world and it would probably cost more.
You'd totally be one of those Lotto Bums--blew all the money in the first year and now work at the local Chevron.
I can't believe she actually registered as Mattsproblem.
it was a really, really good idea that was suggested to her
I agree. Many thanks.
Do you want me to send you my friend's contact info so you can atleast set her up with an interview or something?
I don't really have any power over setting up interviews since it would be in a different office, but all our open IT positions are on our website and I can put in a good word for her with Recruiting.

It means he spelled his name right.

You'd also have a gangsta grip. Turn that shit sideways 90° for improved accuracy.

Word. Admittedly, it's only four hours long, but I'm not looking forward to today.
i have been in the same relationship for longer than facebook has been in existence AFAIK, so it's a non-issue for me
:winky: :winky:
Mmm...chocolate chip soup. Mmm.

I should be eating grapes at home
But the video is lame-ish.
Facebook started in 2003-4ish. I remember signing up as a junior in college when it was only open to anyone with a .edu e-mail.
I knew a Lesbian that was pretty hot. I should have asked her out.

His wife.
Me too!
I probably will do a little bit though, to maintain my air of productivity.
and those were the days right brother?
My buddy and I found some awesome little lake in Berkeley last week. It was good times.
Hahaha
That makes sense.
Yes, yes they were.
Especially when I heard my RA say "Who the hell is <my name>?" through her door when I walked past.

Well, we have one forumer named "Matt has a problem"... figure the rest out.

turns out a few people i know on facebook have it as their profile picture and I just now noticed
