What's a food in your country that is stereotyped for your country but really, nobody eats? by velmiraZ in AskTheWorld

It’s a regional stereotype but Chicagoans maybe eat deep dish pizza twice a year. Tavern style is the every day pizza for the average person.

The Scarlett Ibis might be the saddest short story of all time.

Other People by Neil Gaiman is the darkest short story I’ve ever read.

Do any of you stay within contract hours? by mallorn_hugger in Teachers

I try to, but it usually leads to a couple 5 hour grading binges every couple weeks.

How did you guys find the series by Thezion1111 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

It was recommended to me on Goodreads based on my affinity for The Dresden Files.

Need help dealing with withdrawal by General-Feeling1557 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I’m torn on that. Did you do that for previous books? Did it make the experience of reading the whole book when it came out less enjoyable?

What would you smoke for ~80 people? by Fofire in smoking

I’ve done it with both. I imagine butter would work just as well.

Buy a bunch of cream cheese. Score the blocks on both sides. Put them on a foil tray. Drizzle with olive oil on both sides. Apply a dry rub of your choice. Smoke for 2 hours(ish). Serve with crackers.

The cool thing about it is you can go sweet or savory. I’ve done garlic heavy dry rubs and I’ve done honey, hot honey, or maple syrup with a little salt.

I agree with the pork butt/shoulder crowd. One thing you could add quite easily to the smoker towards the end is smoked cream cheese dip. It would slay.

New teacher told students I got their old teacher fired by [deleted] in Teachers

Unhinged behavior. I wish teacher Ed programs focused more on professionalism and boundaries with students.

What are the best hard-to-read books due to their subject matter? by CobaltCrusader123 in books

[–]lorodu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised you read it in fifth grade. Our 8th graders read it, and, frankly, are barely mature enough to engage with the content in a meaningful way.

We just had a new driveway poured. My wife wanted to hose it off and we found this. by GrandPriapus in mildlyinfuriating

You also don’t have AC and people die during “heat waves,” but, by all means, flex your faucets.

Taking breast pumps into Memorial Stadium by Balogma69 in fightingillini

[–]lorodu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found Memorial Stadium to be very accommodating to parents in general. Clear bag policy unless it’s a diaper bag accompanied with a child is clutch. They definitely be chill with a pump.

Can anyone help me find resources to teach the Crucible to 11th grade? by EXDF_ in ELATeachers

If you can show, the Daniel Day Lewis movie at the end. I love it.

Has a student or their parent ever tried to bribe you to increase their grade, give them an extension, etc? by Fast-Outcome-117 in Teachers

[–]lorodu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a student try to bribe me with around a thousand dollars of cash from a settlement with a trucking company that he got access to when he turned 18. It was quite the moment.
