If You're Going to Have to Reteach Math at Home...

... you may as well homeschool in the first place. The teaching of fuzzy math continues. I especially enjoyed this video:

Horse Steak

My brother is a systems security consultant, and he recently went off to work in Japan. We just had this conversation using Gmail messaging.

Harrison: I had horse for the first time pretty recently.
me: How was it?
Harrison: Horse makes for damn good steak.
me: Really? Better than cow?
Harrison: Not better than good cow... but certainly better than cheap steaks.

So there you have it; horse is better than cheap cow.

ADDED: He's been trying other things too:

Harrison: Pig Ankles... which amount to a chunk of bacon fat with little bits of bones in it.
Harrison: Raw Frozen Goat Balls... which taste exactly like you'd expect them to.
(Horrible.)
Harrison: Blowfish... which reminded me of The Simpson's Ralphie. ("Teacher, my mouth tastes like burning")
me: It's spicy?
Harrison: Not spicy... but... it makes your mouth tingle. Like I'd expect eating gasoline and Novocaine to feel like. There's not really much taste.
Harrison: Chicken cartilage, which is sort of like asking if you could get a steak, but without the meat, just the gristle.
Harrison: Ox Tongue, which tastes like brisket.

I do like brisket...

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Are in Season

In Summer, the cups often melt in transit and then re-solidify losing their perfect cup shape and optimal consistency. In Winter, the cups sometimes freeze on the way and tend to be rather dry by the time they hit the shelves.

As a connoisseur and faithful consumer of this candy for over twenty years, I feel it my duty to mention that Fall is season when peanut butter cups are at their best. Yum.
