Cancer Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 My daughter (cough cough) hopefully has learned the (cough cough) lesson to check first that the chili flake container (cough cough) DOES have a shaker top before (cough cough) shaking the stuff into the pan (cough cough) in which the taco meat is cooking (cough cough). On the up side, she now ( cough cough) has first-hand experience with (cough cough) irritant gases. L. Marcus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 It is taking extreme efforts of will to finish grading question 4. Did anyone get it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Did anyone get it right?

And I did get the question finished before dinner. But the slog was draining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
