Well, if absolutely nothing else can be said about this day, at least a few things can be said with authority:
- I now know the difference between using dried lentils and the other kind in a recipe. One soaks up a litre of beef broth. The other does not. It's still a damn fine dish, though - and the lentils have a fabulous texture that's somewhere between meat and potatoes. Next time I'm using vegetable broth though - beef broth is just too much in my Mostly Meatless state.
- Absolutely anything can be done in a classroom if the students believe that it's for the exam. I've never seen so many delinquents working so hard.
- On the other hand, I have a student who's about to fail the course for the third time.
- You don't lose weight of you eat 3-5 sections of Toblerone a day.
- I know all the words to "Tubesnake Boogie," although I wish I didn't.
- Daniel Pinkwater rocks my socks.
- I would make a terrible doctor. I know this because a student didn't come in for a make-up test today and I didn't care. If I were a doctor, they'd be dying on the table while I played Chip's Challenge.
- I play way too much Chip's Challenge.
- It's hard not to smoke at the Garden. It's easy not to smoke anywhere else. (Technically I learned this on the weekend.)
- Sleep is good.
