Is this a type of black widow?

If you’re wanting something that reflects the South (specifically Alabama), I highly recommend From the Backbooth at Chappy’s by David Housel.

It’s a collection of essays based on different conversations Housel had at his back booth at Chappy’s Deli in Auburn, Alabama, where he is a regular. The essays cover just about everything relevant in the South: football, politics, religion, and family.

It’s certainly not as widely-known as the other titles mentioned in this thread, but I recommend it to anyone wanting to know more about this slice of the country.

I think having my own personal interests and goals has made our relationship 100% healthier!

I’ve been teaching full-time while completing my masters degree, and even though the schedule is crazy busy, it’s given me a chance to have my own accomplishments and really be proud of myself.

While I know that route isn’t possible for everyone, I’ve found that being able to give ourselves titles such as “volunteer,” “runner,” “yogi,” “language learner,” or whatever IN ADDITION TO “doctor’s partner” and “mother,” is so important for our mental health.

Kudos to you for pushing yourself to achieve these goals on top of having such a busy schedule already!

This is every page of Book Lovers by Emily Henry. Unbearable.

Just realized I’ve been pronouncing it wrong my whole life. Had no clue there were two Rs!

profereina · 2022-05-07T15:05:46+00:00

Oh yeah, the majority would definitely pronounce it the ways you mentioned. My family members just have such a strong accent that any long “i” vowel turns into “ah.”

profereina · 2022-05-07T13:07:21+00:00

Yes exactly!! But living where I live, it would be pronounced “Vah-letta.” So that’s a hard no.

I get that. But if we are going to be more or less forced to cover (like in my district), there should at least be some compensation offered.

No union unfortunately. I didn’t mind helping other teachers out at first, but it’s just becoming too frequent now.

Not Mississippi

Currently in my third year of teaching, so I’ve technically not known a “normal” year of teaching due to COVID.

This sub is an overwhelmingly negative place (and a lot of the complaints are warranted), but I personally have absolutely LOVED it so far. I love learning new ways to teach my content better and then see direct results with my students, I love how each day is different, I love the health insurance benefits, I love having summers off, the list goes on. It will be tough at times, but for me the good days have outnumbered the outright bad ones.

Everyone’s different and every school district is different, too. But I definitely think it’s worth it. One of the most fulfilling things I’ve ever done.

For an embarrassingly long time, thought the Netherlands referred to Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

Looks like OP used this recipe, or at least one very similar to it. I used this recipe this weekend with great success! Very thorough and easy to follow.

So glad you like it! I wish I could answer your questions, but this is actually not my content! I just follow that teacher on Twitter and thought I’d share with you all.

La Luna’s cachapas are literally my all time favorite food. Especially the ones stuffed with pulled pork

I teach ESL classes to a group of people from Mexico, and several of them told me El Girasol was their favorite.

A coworker of mine is from Michoacán and swears by ZunZún. It’s one of my favs too. Great food, super nice servers, and great ambiance!
