The call came... Offered team 1 in Basecamp Emergency Response Unit in Tacloban, depending on outcome of initial analysis (is it safe enough to go there now) Will be spending Christmas there, as it looks right now... This is awesome/terrible/hosed up... Boss has asked me what will gently caress up at company...

pile of brown posted:Who has experience with maltodextrin powders? I have the exact same problem. I have finally kind of given up on it, but I have a big tub from willpowder too. maybe it's the source? I figured I needed a vitamix or something similar to help disburse the product evenly, and then I didn't have one - I do now, but haven't given it another try. the first time I used malto I ended up with this crazily thick goo that was inedible and also wouldn't clean off of the bowl I was mixing it in. I like put it through a wash cycle, still on there.

Sorry to hear that, Grav. I would love to have mine around still.Happy Hat posted:
Point him to how GWS deteriorated in your absence and explain that most likely things will be taken over by rampant HR 'professionals' arranging sing-alongs and teambuilding-making-nice-sessions in that infuriating, sex-less, passionless manner they have.

I'm looking to buy some vanilla beans for some Christmas bakes....but the local store is trying to sodomize me on the price. Anyone have luck with online vendors; if so, suggestions?

I use this guy: http://www.vanillaproductsusa.com/servlet/StoreFront http://www.ebay.com/usr/vanillaproducts http://www.ebay.com/usr/vanillaproducts Great prices for massive grips of great vanilla beans. My only problem was I bought too much (1lbs) and I'm on the fence about whether to replace my stash or keep using these two year old beans that are apparently still decent Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Nov 12, 2013 |

Sorry grav he sounds like he was awesome. Went to Costco this weekend and there was a Unibroue taster set, with Fin du Monde and Trois Pistoles and Maudite. I've had the first and my husband has had the second, but neither of us have had the third, so we are excited. Also I made savory pumpkin bread and it is amazing.

Also the post office is making the newer workers take on the extra Sunday shifts and none of the more experienced workers. Also, they're not paying OT for it. It basically sucks hard on both sides.

In other news, I found a spice shop which turns out to be part of a small chain. I like it better than Penzy's just for the fact that their selection runs closer to my tastes. Less BBQ rubs, more salts. https://secure.spicemerchants.biz/sm/ Or if you're in Fairfax, VA they have a store there.

Speaking of the typhoon disaster if anyone wants to donate the Philippine Red Cross donation page is here: Pick Supertyhoon Yolanda from the campaign pulldown menu http://ushare.redcross.org.ph/ (1000 philippine pesos = roughly US$23)
