Making the rules up as I go...

I really do love the kids I teach. Even though they don't turn in their homework, don't study when they should, and sometimes won't stop talking, they are adorable kids. Today was a study day for my 8th period since they have a unit test on Monday. After studying for a solid hour, they seemed like they deserved a break for the last 10 minutes of class, so I broke out my Question Cube. The question: What is the best dish you can make?

Answers:

Eggs
I make a mean boiled water
Sopapillas
Tamale
Frijoles (I think he was being sarcastic, but I hope he wasn't)
Spaghetti (to which S.W. asked "with cheese?" WTF?????)
Pancakes
Poptarts
"Chicken Tuna" which ended up being chicken salad!

And then they asked what I can make. My answer: chocolate mousse. YUM

I've come down with a cold, and it sort of sucks. Still busy as a bee trying to keep my head above water.

Missing the Oregon fall.

The guy who works at the thai place up the road from my apartment was sure chatty today. First, he commented on my last name
"Redman. That's really German".
"Yep, it is."
"oh you drive a Subaru. Love them. It's the only thing that got me through the snow in the winter"
"You obviously don't mean here".
"Oh no, in Oregon."
"I'M FROM OREGON!"
*One of those awesome moments where someone else knows what we are missing here in Texas*


And congrats to Kitzhaber!
