Random non-MCAT and only peripherally related to the MCAT thread - Part 8

[Arsenic]

Members don't see this ad.

how's your studying going guys? are you freaking out? burned out?

this is our stress relief thread....or our group anxiety thread, whatever..... 😀

for those of you that have no idea what the mcat random threads are about, check out molly's explanation:

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.

yeah but it's one I haven't seen 😉 which makes it entertaining to me.

Sweet. I've been tivo'ing a show called "Dead Like Me" starring Mandy Patinkin. It was originally aired in 2003 about this 20-something girl who dies and becomes a "grim reaper" and Mandy is her mentor, so to speak. It's also got Jasmine Guy in it (she plays a reaper). It's a cute show, even if it is a little sadistic.

 

[Beau Geste]

Anyone have a good recipe for an alcoholic punch? (the drink, not the action LOL)

 

[Beau Geste]

Have to buy booze tomorrow and fruit and veggie trays. And a dessert. I am so not cooking dinner this year.

 

[lilithny]

hey lil - what's with your location? Are you on vacation somewhere?

lol... i forgot to change it.

but with the mild weather here... maybe it should stay

Oh I've seen that show. It's cute, I agree.

Try Cranberry Juice, Ginger Ale and Vodka or Gin (not both).

100% straight golden grain. That will pack a nice punch

 

[Beau Geste]

Anything with rum? I think my in-laws are Captain drinkers. I am married to a family of lushes, I swear. But they fit in with my family pretty well 😉

 

[lilithny]

i loved dead like me. shame it got cancelled.

You could try Malibu with Pinneapple and Cranberry or some other tropical juice. That could be good but not very holiday-esque.

 

[lilithny]

rum and pinapple juice with a splash of cranberry or genadine

An urban myth is a modern folk tale, its origins unknown, its believability enhanced
simply by the frequency with which it is repeated. Our signature chocolate chip cookie
is the subject of one such myth. If you haven't heard the story, we won't perpetuate it
here. If you have, the recipe below should serve to refute it. Copy it, print it out, pass it along to friends and family. It's a terrific recipe. And it's absolutely free.


Ingredients


1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder
1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds)

2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.

3. In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.

4. Using a 1 ounce scoop or a 2 tablespoon measure, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2 inch circle. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.

Yield: 2 dozen cookies

 

[Anastasis]

Mmmmmm cookies 😀

 

[Arsenic]

[Anastasis]

I'm so bored. I have a stack of books to read but I feel bad doing nothing but reading over the break (even though I love it). I updated my blog today too.


Speaking of which, Bratboy! Update your blog, dammit!!

No, there will be no reason or logic here. The stalkers have spoken. Update your blog, punk. 😛

 

[lilithny]

[Anastasis]

That's it, dammit. I'm going to get bluebell.


Edit: I'm talking to Penny on AIM and she reminded me of this remark I made while in San Antonio. We passed the pub where I know the med students hang out and I say, "See - that's where the med students go. Want a guy who's socially awkward and has no time for you? There you go."

 

[lilithny]

I'm somewhat socially awkward, am totally introverted, and have no time for a guy, so that sounds perfect for me. 👍

 

[Anastasis]

Your blog is pathetic. Seriously, dude, come on. Surely you can post at least once a MONTH. 🙄

Dude - Q is on my side. Give up now. Resistance is futile.


Hey Q! I update my blog regularly!! *wipes brown stuff off nose* Oh okay, I'm better now 😉

 

[Anastasis]

ouch

And yet you don't challenge the veracity of that statement... Hmm....


Also, I have ice cream now. I'm happy. 🙂

 

[beary]

abso-frigging-lutely. how about Saturday?

Sounds good - having lunch with my grandma but later afternoon/evening sounds most excellent! 😀

 

[pingouin]

Okay finished my book... what should I read next?

LOR (again - last read about a year ago) or Herodotus "The Histories" or The Iliad (again - last read about 3 years ago) or Narnia Series (last read, admittedly, about 4 months ago)

Come on people. Random thread means never having to make decisions on your own.

You owe it to your future patients. Slacker.
