Got like 3 recipes from people in general chat while waiting to get into an instance server last night. Might make those Ukrainian Nachos (That's the name I was given) later on, because they sound goddamn delicious.

>_> I got 25 dollars left to my name File, give me that recipe. Sounds cool as hell.

It's not so much a recipe as a guideline. You take pierogies, boil them (obviously) then drain the water, toss them into either a flat baking pan with aluminum foil on the bottom, or a casserole dish, and add any toppings you want. The recommended toppings I got were chopped sausage, green onions, bacon, and cheese. You can obviously use any toppings you want, but it's basically replacing nacho chips with pierogies and baking them with the toppings until the cheese melts and everything warms up. Bonus points if they're deep-fried mini-pierogies, or you fry them first for crispiness.

Extra bonus points if anyone can correct my spelling on pierogies, because it doesn't look right to me even after googling.

Ah. My mother sent me a good recipe that was weird but was good. It was a sweet based tomato sauce drizzled over cornbread with sausage and green peppers on top. It sounds gross, but it's very good if you make it right. I made my own tweaks to it, this is what I did. Add a FEW (1-2) drops of ghost chili juice to the sauce and boom all good to eat. Can be served along side squash, or if you're a weird person like my mom, you eat it with saurkraut (SP check). How it goes is, the sweetness of the cornbread will offset the spice of the ghost chili, giving you a sweet/hot flavor to the dish and the sausages (as an alternative) can be mild/spicy and substituted with the ghost chili juice if you don't want to use it. Which will leave a more distinct flavor as you'll be eating not only the sausage, but the sweet bit of the sauce and cornbread.

I'm a huge fan of spicy food, and that sounds damn good. I'll have to give it a shot!

Starting college (again) in a couple weeks. Only this time instead of being a community college in Kansas, it's the top university in Taiwan.

Already had class selection, results announced in about twelve hours. They work off a "sign up for what you want, then the system picks who gets in" instead of a first come first served arrangement. Picks based on student status, to try to ensure everyone gets the credits they need first. System was a total mess; I literally would've had an easier time doing it offline with books if that had been an option.

Still, tonight I finally received a package from my department, which contained an invitation for a "Horse Bathing Party" (???) for incoming students, as well as an invitation for a "Head of Household Meeting", because there's nothing more important in college than making sure your parents are still there to take care of everything for you. Finally, it has the freshman guidebook, which is something that would've been useful a month ago. Or at least last week, before class selection.

If you think the "message from the dean" you may have read was dry, try reading it in Mandarin.

I'm not sure how I should feel right now. I'm not mad or sad or anything. I'm drawing a very blank slate today for the grim news that was given to me. I'm not sure if this is like...a red light or something going off. But I am simply confused, I woke up this morning and I got a phone call from my mother telling me she has cancer. Does anyone know how to even handle something like this? I mean fuck, yeah I am crazy but I am also a person and I don't know how to even handle this. She hasn't told me if its in its minor stages or if its jumped to major and escalated. She told me has cervical cancer, which was a shock to me since she chain smokes, the only thing I don't want to happen is her getting that and then suddenly lung cancer popping up out of no where. I mean fuck I don't know what to do, why do humans have to be piles of flesh and blood and just...die off so easily to shit like this. Microscopic entities that rip us apart from the inside out and we're powerless to do anything about it, why hasn't modern day science just come out and said "WE HAVE A CURE FOR EVERYTHING!" Fuck why doesn't magic even exist in this world. Just anything would be better than this. I'm sorry I don't think I'll be back on the forums for awhile.

Seek immediate medical attention.


Seriously, you'd be surprised what they can do. Also, it's pretty obvious that you are mad. And sad. And that's pretty goddamn normal, given the circumstances.

Melody, we've butted heads a lot (and the fact that you share a first name with my former Boss Lady didn't help matters), but if you need someone to talk to, my inbox is always open.

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

I understand the likely hood of people surviving cancer. I just don't know if my mother is in that small margin. She's 52, about halfway through her life, I don't want her next 50 years to be straight down hill because cancer likes to play games with people and I've almost lost 2 of my friends to it. It's a surreal feeling that I don't like.

The gay porn side bar ad thingers have already caught up with the whole Miley Cyrus thing. Now they have twinks sticking out their tongues with the tag-line "MILEY FEVER." Ugh. As if I didn't hate twinks enough.

Warning: this may make you cry.

It's so beautiful and touching though.
