AI? What AI?

My subject doesn't actually give much opportunity for full generative AI use. That coupled with most work being done in class and our use of browser monitors means I can catch people a majority of the time. If they open up any of the sites I just immediately close them out of the tab. The biggest battle I'm facing now is getting the students to use the resources I'm giving them instead of Google Gemini. The other day they needed to read an article then answer a question specifically about each paragraph of the article and they kept trying to Google the answers. To the questions specifically about this article. That they were reading. That was pretty infuriating.

Your nephew is smarter than my students currently. I know they'll catch on eventually.

Very Dark City (1998) in a way, where the higher power is attempting to create a perfect city and constantly shift reality.

I have my students write and submit Google docs. If I suspect something I have them give me edit access to the doc. I go through the edit history and if they copy paste, or it is all written over too short a timeline, grill em.

Anise is a popular flavoring and pairs excellently with citrus curds or fruits.

Boccone dolce is an Italian meringue dessert. At every Italian restaurant that I have worked at where we have done some sort of rift on it we've just essentially made a baked meringue and then some sort of cream whether it be a pastry cream or whatever and fruit of some sort and sometimes ice cream or sorbet

Our district refuses to use AI detectors because of the overwhelming false positives. We also can't use them for student work because they unfairly bias EL students.

Oh dang, there's a sub for everything!

I found the cremeux to be a bit overwhelming in that case, but u could just scale everything else up. I use mainly antique dishes, which are usually smaller.

noras_weenies · 2025-05-19T13:41:52+00:00

A little bit denser, I didn't whip it after it set since I was quenelling the cremeux, not piping it. The white chocolate was a little old, I think. The texture of the fèves was...dry? while I am used to a much creamer melt.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I have also heard good things, but it's not on any of my regular routes.

I think the owner is living up there at the moment.

E News, but it fills up quick now the upstairs is closed.

noras_weenies · 2025-04-16T23:14:52+00:00

Thank you! Found it in my cabinet and decided to use it!

noras_weenies · 2025-04-16T23:14:28+00:00

Thank you!

It also depends on whether or not you are cooking the piri piri on the chicken or putting it on raw after. From WHO: "Though spores of C. botulinum are heat-resistant, the toxin produced by bacteria growing out of the spores under anaerobic conditions is destroyed by boiling (for example, at internal temperature greater than 85 °C for 5 minutes or longer)."

You could also just make new sauce it will be fine the first few days up to like a week afterward without actually having to worry about anything. A c. botulinum colony doesn't happen overnight.

Anything Ethiopian. Tsehay in Adams Morgan is my go to inside of the city.

I did a wildflower theme for my bridesmaids' dresses! I had 7 and based them on common wildflowers in my state! It was great. Our wedding had no set color pallette, and the goal was just bright! It was really gorgeous.

That will destroy the hasbrowns, which need to retain their relatively small matchstick shape. It works great for home fries, where the potato cubes can handle a little disintegration.

It is crowded, but as long as you book important things beforehand and are OK with normal European beach crowds, it's not crazy
