We have deep fried ice cream.

For the record, microwaving coffee is morally equivalent to boiling ribs.... so the moral equivalent of, "British," then?We don't boil ribs. We eat them raw, while dancing around a standing stone wearing the rest of the elk's bloody remains.
The Scots do deep-fry coffee, though.
Isn't eating raw venison inadvisable due to bacteria?
And how do you deep fry coffee even..?
Since deer are even-toed, non-pig ungulates, (i.e. split hoof and chews cud) their meat is actually very safe. You can eat fresh even-toed ungulate raw with no worries, or sear their steaks and eat it rare with no complications.
Not every cut will taste good like that of course, but you can.

My second niece just finished a year of study at St. Andrew's in Scotland. She always loved English Breakfast Tea and Irish Breakfast Tea, but now she has decided that Scottish Breakfast Tea is the best.
I wouldn't know. I can't stand tea.
Heretic! Repent from your sins! Drink the heavenly tea instead of ghastly coffee!
For me it's more like I wouldn't be able to taste the difference between English Breakfast Tea, Irish breakfast tea and Scottish breakfast Tea.
GO FORTH AND SMITE OUR FOES TEA INQUISITOR!

Now for females, your weight tends to matter a lot – since a little bit of weight, your stomach sticks out…and it’s like URGH. Not to mention since when you put on weight it’s over everywhere…you simply can’t fit into your clothes. Especially in Asia, when clothes are made for those who are small and petite. Small I get, but petite…not very much. Sorry. My body was meant to track along all day, so I’ve got well developed muscular calves, not those slim straight legs. I know there are some things that are not going to happen, nor am I going to bother to try…but at least could we get our tummy a little less fat? :P
Whereas guys clothes are more forgiving, and society is as well.
If a female is fat – there’s a lot of negative connotations about her, like being a fat slob, whereas for guys, there is less – and sometimes if a guy is stout – it’s a compliment.
And Cover Turtle, don’t worry I won’t be getting anorexic or something like that, I like eating too much for that to happen.
Men's fashion makes so much more sense. It's practical. The clothes tend to be made sturdier...and people by and large seem to care less about what men wear.
Women get often flimsy clothes that are cut bizarrely to require a second layer of said clothing, only fit a certain body type at a certain phase of the moon if it's the second Tuesday of the month, no pockets...and the general expectation of hair/makeup/jewelry on top of it. Oh, and it costs more. It's so unfair.

So today is the last day of my 50-hour week teaching summer school, and tonight is NH's birthday dinner, and tomorrow I get to kill Queen Ileosa, and Sunday I get to drive up to Oregon to spend a week with my mom and my sister.
Oh, and Sunday, Whingey Wizzard starts his two-week trip to Texas in his scary serial killer van, to interview for jobs, and to find us a rental house.

Lawful Problems:
The Fake Russian's wife just confirmed that she won't be coming tonight, so we're down from 14 to 12.
Most people would just show up and say, "Sorry; we're only 12 now."
I'm going to call in ahead. Because I'm an idiot. And I'll get a puzzled, "Thank you?"
But I'm big on communication.
EDIT: Also, my entire department is on vacation today, I have no work to do, and I took next week off. I could sit around in my tighty whities watching My Little Pony all day and no one would ever be the wiser. But I'm going to work. Because...?

Good luck to Whingey on that trip!
Also, for Cap, yeah, it's going to suck today. Our high temp is supposed to be 98 today, and we're looking at 67% humidity on top of it. Madison, ironically, is going to be worse. Cap should seeing it around 96, but with 77% humidity.
In both cases it's going to feel like a wet death.

*Looks more relived…
still suspects kitty might be a little to hard on herself though*That sounds like a rip-off. Larger pizzas need more toppings.The guys at pasta mania use the same amount of toppings whether it's a 7 inch,10 inch or 12 inch pizza. They just spread it more thinly. So you're just paying more for the dough.
I generally go for 7 inch, 10 if I'm hungry.
*Nods vigorously, and shakes turtle foot at Pasta-mania angrily*
One more thing I don't understand. What's this thing about wanting to eat instant noodles or potato chips in the middle of the night?(My BF is prone to that)
For me, firstly I don't stay up that late, secondly if I do want to snack, I rather eat a mild cheddar, cambert, brie or gyurere.
*Looks guilty for his night snacking…
Snifs cheese, grimaces and looks doubtfully at it.*Look in your kitchen. Do you see that ubiquitous packet of instant noodles in your kitchen cupboard?
*Looks in cupboard and notices some insta-noodle-packs. Slams the cupboard shut, hurries over to his desktop, and starts googling for 'rudimentary biohazard containment procedures'.

At the end of the day, if you want to have instant noodles, it's fine. The problem are people are using it as a meal, without any fresh ingredients. Believe me I've seen people just pour hot water into cup noodles and just eat like that. Then it's all sodium and carbs so it isn't good.
I understand they're convenient etc, sure. But don't think they're a complete meal by themselves. At least have the decency to crack an egg into one, and throw some chopped leafy greens in...
In China, because eating on the train is expensive and the train journeys are long, yes, people bring along their instant noodles, then add stewed donkey into it.

Gran is a very curious creature. I mean it's like dog people and cat people. Most belong to either of the two camps...so it's the same with coffee and tea.
But Gran doesn't like both coffee and tea, which is really odd. I've never seen anything like that before.

Yes. Sometimes deliberately (TL isn't here, so I'm going to favorite ALL THE THINGS. Until I get distracted.)
Sometimes just because I'm using it as a "hey now, that amused me" button.
And sometimes because I worry that my posts are too "mememememe pay attention to MEEEEEE" and so I start favoriting other people's posts at random to prove that I'm not entirely self-absorbed.

I'd like to say cat people are tea people, but again NH can't live without his coffee, so that theory isn't quite right.
Anyway I think it's more of an Asian and Americans thing. Asians are more likely to be Tea People then Americans, since Tea is part of our culture. You really can't go to a Chinese dinner without being served tea.
Though Coffee has caught on here too - for people trying to burn the midnight oil.
Most coffees give me a sour aftertaste so I really don't take coffees.

Yes, do the math. I even provided the answers for you.One 18-inch pizza is more pizza than two 12-inch pizzas. (~254 in^2 vs ~226 in^2)Wait is that true?

One 18-inch pizza is more pizza than two 12-inch pizzas. (~254 in^2 vs ~226 in^2)Wait is that true?18 inches; the radius, then, is 9 inches
A = πr^2
"r" in that case is "9"
A = π*[(9)^2]
9*9 = 81
π*81 = ~(254.46900494077) square inches of pizza
================
two 12 inches; the radius, then, is 6 inches
A = πr^2
"r" in that case is "6"
A = π*[(6)^2]
6*6 = 36
π*36 = ~(113.09733552923)
There are two of them, however, so...
(113.09733552923)*(2) = (226.19467105846) square inches of pizza
Seems legit!
Someone there, adds:
It's worse than that. Each pizza is going to be roughly 2" diameter of crust. 12" means 10" of toppings, 18" means 16" of toppings.... so you kind of get shorted all around.
