So, make and assemble this weekend. Freeze as a slab, swathed in plastic wrap. Take out of the freezer the night before so I don’t need to remember when we leave for the airport at 4 AM. Add a layer of bubble wrap and carefully pack in suitcase. Give when we arrive that afternoon, and cut there.

Glad you’re here too, in this bleak year.

This was what all the chatter was about last night on my channels, up until Abby Roque’s goal!

I’d eat that. (Stuffing is a point of contention. My family’s includes things like mushrooms, nuts, & dried fruit. In-laws’ does…not. No meat in either.)
I’m semi-tempted to try Sohla El-Waylly’s Taco Bell–inspired version, for something completely different. food52.com/recipes/8677...

I was one really bad math professor away from adding a math minor to my chemistry degree. And then in grad school, I went on to train as a synthetic organic chemist, the chemical specialty that probably uses the least math of all of them, nothing more than basic arithmetic and a tad of algebra!

Will do! I’m sure to gain inspiration for when I have students who shut down when they see numbers, which happens more often than I would like. I wish early elementary school teachers would all have a better grasp of math and be able to impart it to every student who passes through their classrooms.

I’m so looking forward to digging into it! Given that I enjoy math, I’m either exactly your target audience or exactly the opposite. What do we need to do to get people to stop saying they’re bad at math?
