What Are You Dreaming About?

Do you remember when you first started playing Tetris? How your dreams were filled with falling blocks? This week, I've been dreaming about yields, and AP weight versus EP weight, and lemon rind.

Well, there was that one dream, right before I woke up, where Nick Cage was driving a VW bus, and I was a passenger, and he was careening through the parking lot of my elementary school, and I said, "Just don't flip this thing." I don't know where that came from.

I'm feeling almost guilty, home in time for 10@10, but once we turned in our menu costing reports, we were free to go. The level of stress in the classroom was high (projects are due by noon), and they got higher as Chef Stephanie passed out our graded "pre-final." While Derrick asked if he could just apply his grade to tomorrow's final, more than a few people realized that they have quite a lot to study between now and then. I was glad to walk out into the morning sun, and head home for more coffee.

So I've got a couple of bonus hours. I've already started laundry, and now I can spend some time on some of my favorite things: menu planning, list making, and grocery shopping in preparation for weekend guests.
