whoa. i didnt know students get to ride the subways for free! one one hand i think that’s majorly f’ed u p, on the other hand, now that the MTA is going to stop that freebie perk for students there will be a lot more truancy. (89 dollars for an unlimited card from a poor family with even just one student can be a recipe for disaster, no?) what’s everyone elses opinion on this?
and omg at them cutting M line service!!!! sometimes ill take that if it comes before an R and that train even in morning rush hour time is totally empty and half the time im on the only person in one of the cars and i feel like im in a sci movie! does this mean the R will be more packed now? it’s not currently packed at all really,. but i dont wanna see it get actually packed where im going to have to stand!
Thanks, Slope!
I’m learning how to cook more and more things and experiment with ingredients. And some of these things are so foreign to me.
Okay another question, since we’re on cooking.
I found some great soup recipes that I’d like to try. But lots of them say to de-seed the tomatoes. I’ve never ever done this. Is it that bad to use the whole tomato (seeds and all) in soups?
No, it [nuoc mam or nam pla] is safe stuff to use. It has a strong taste and smell on its own to say the least, to the point where you might have a hard time imagining using it. But it blends into and transforms all kinds of sauces, dips and marinades in ways you would not expect. Always helps to use a little bit of sugar whenever you are making something with fish sauce.
I’m not a money guy but I know that this administration and Bernake like to keep the money cheap. you have to make an educated guess on this, do you think there will be enough economic recovery to justify continued low interest rates by the feds or do you think that printing money like water can’t go on forever and inflation will force the feds to start jacking up the price of money.
I’m in the latter group.
“Pete…risk that rates rise in a year or two is very high, I believe.

The producer price indices today are a good forebearer of that
Nuoc Mam is also great to marinate some calamari in just before you grill it!!!!
