1. I used to get really mad at the administration when I taught, and I used to tell myself that when I was out of teaching I'd write a bald-faced book about what's really going on, and people would read it and say, "Yeah, that’s fucked up." I never did that (though I should. It'd be like the professional career version of blowing up the Bridge

She's got the "smile for the camera" thing down!

[amand_r]

Only when you say, "CRICKETS!"

[blue_fjords]

Holy crap! Holy crap, what an adorable little goober! Oh, I could eat her right up! Look at the two of you in your nice photo -- you look so much alike, with your head tilts and smiles! And a teacup in the hair -- if Priscilla could grow long hair, she'd totally copy so she'd always be ready for a tea party. Such rampant cuteness totally makes up for the picked onions, ick! :)

LOVE THE ONIONS!

I've never done pickled onions with a cinnamon stick. Will have to try it next time around.

Cute kid is cute [g]

They're kind of bitey but sweet. I would say like gherkins, but I hate gherkins. I bet if I did pickles like this I wouldn't like them, but with onions it's okay.

I am also fairly sure that they would taste different with black pepper corns, since szechuan ones are rather floral.

It's weird because I hate pickles, but I love pickled onions and cucumbers. I think my mum calls them 'Dutch Cucumbers', it's some old recipe of my grandmother's. I tend to just love vinegar in general.

[amand_r]

I have a nice recipe for "ice box pickles" that involves a lot of dill, so they get this buttery taste to them.

I also love pickled beets and the onions you put with them. I wish I ate more eggs, because I would make pickled eggs, too.

Your daughter is so freaking cute.

Pickled anything is nasty :P

Mental note: never, ever skip when you are back in your own body. Sweet god. Unmanning.
Gave me crazy giggles

OH WHATEVS. YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO JUDGE, SMALL BREAD SLICE LOVER.

Yeah, I have this idea that Gwen does this shit to irritate him.

[mrsalemp]

You know you love the small bread. I bet you would have loved the multisize chocolate chip muffin family of last Thursday too.

GO GWEN GO!

[amand_r]

DAMMIT. YOU HAVE ME. THAT SOUNDS FUCKING DELICIOUS.
