Come to find out, Beau's student's father was deported! Damn.

This country just exhausts me sometimes. Between the intentional break up of families and Rick Perry associating gays in the military with "Obama's war on religion", sometimes I just feel like quitting.

Oh, I love the point of the cold where you just want to tear your face off.

Okay, the best thing the Gawker network has taught me recently is how to best reheat pizza. If you nuke it for a little and then drop it in a hot skillet for a little, Papa John's pizza tastes as good (or as bad, but at least the same) as it did when it showed up at your door. Given the huge drop in quality when you reheat a mediocre pizza in the oven, this makes a big difference.

Oh, cute! That's one of Colin's exes in the Samsung Apple-bashing ad.

What does the nuke step add that's better than just covering the skillet?

Yeah, I just reheated some (delicious pear walnut and gorgonzola) pizza today in the toaster oven, and it was good times.

I think reheating mediocre pizza in the toaster oven makes it better.

Hey, that's what we're ordering for dinner tonight! It's one of my favorite seasonal specials.

That's my favorite as well!

I want your alls pizza.

mac has not thrown up again since this morning, so that is good. I finally cleaned up his bathroom. He has had dry rice crisps and dry toast all day, oh and decaf hot tea and ginger ale. so I think he can go to school tomorrow. I wish I could be "sick", but sick days are unpaid and the last two paychecks have been small plus the office will be closed 12/22 to 1/2 and that is all unpaid also. I really would like a benevolent rich relative to give me enough to live on until I can find a better job situation.

Less time in the skillet, as far as I can tell. The skillet just crisped up the crust, the nuking kept it moist while it melted the cheese.
