I do believe I am highly impressed with all the talent here on the planet!!

Hmmm let me see...what can I do

I can play the guitar

I have a very strange ability to remember convocations word by word, along with where people were sitting/wearing/doing, and how they reacted to said conversation…no matter how long ago it took place

I can do tricks in a manual wheelchair (spent 5 years in one)

Oddly I can remember where everything is in a room and know when something has been moved a hair

I can see better in the dark than when lights are on…I’m great to have around when the power goes out

I can figure out how to fix just about anything that is mechanical ...even if I’ve never done it before

All the talk of kale and bike riding gives me guilt for the cheesecake....

Honestly, I enjoy both...but today was a day for pumpkin cheesecake....and macaroni and cheese...which I resisted!

Oh no no, no guilt about the cheesecake! Food guilt is soooo not good for you. Some days are made for pumpkin cheesecake. Today was your day.

easygoingfemme · 10-14-2012, 07:39 PM

Can I derail to say what I hope I can do tomorrow?
The challenge:
Teaching a cooking class for 25 participants. Demonstration style- I do all the work, talking, educating, cooking, serving. ( I have two assistants to help stir and wash dishes as needed)
Goals: Meet class topic of teaching how to make 5 different dinner pies and having them done in time for everyone to watch how they are made and get to eat them too.
Challenges. Cooking 5 entrees for 25 people in 2.5 hours, including cooking time. Average bake time range from 25-45 minutes. Also includes making polenta from scratch (one crust), vegan bechamel sauce (to go on mushroom pie), and vegan gravy(to top shepherds pie). Each takes about 20 minutes.
Perks: I will have 6 burners, two full size ovens, two arms, two assistants, and a pretty good ability to multi-task.

Can I get a "you can do it!" with a promise from me to update tomorrow to see if I can claim that this is something I can actually do?

Thank you!

Oh, and for bonus fun, at this cooking school- I'm on camera/projected on TV through the classroom. I kind of really hate that. They put tape on the counters to make me stay in camera view because I used to always sneak off and cook on the side.

You can do this! You will ROCK this!!

(and as for the cheesecake vs kale comments earlier, while I know that you 1000% support the need to indulge in cheesecake, I also have no doubt that you'd probably find a way to sneak some kale into it if you could!)

OK, getting back on track, I can:

Fold my hands in half so that my fingers are completely flat against my palms.
Make my tongue into a tube (can't everyone do that? or is that one of those genetic weird things?)
Follow a really good lead dancer to the point that it appears as if I really know what I'm doing even when I definitely do not!
Explain the DOS commands or Lotus 123 comman sequences needed to do a certain activity (ok, so I'm a geek dinosaur).
Read freakishly fast.
Explain the basics of subnetworking so that pretty much anyone who wants to get it can actually get it, and teach you binary and hexadecimal math in the process
Parallel park in very small spots (though I manage to frequently screw up parking in oversized spots!)

DWM: Cheese cake would be new for me, but I've made dark chocolate cherry cashew truffles with a kale infusion/infiltration and damn but they were good.

I think that your hands and tongue are both genetics.
The computer stuff that I don't get is because of your brilliance.
The parking is your careful attention to detail.
