If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm pretty sure someone ran into trouble (vis a vis the TSA) with the frosting on their cupcakes recently. (Nevermind, just clicked the link.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why are people so pissed off that suddenly you can't carry on a gel in a container over 3oz? It's not news.

That's what the article is about.

Breaking in to say that today is National Bittersweet Chocolate Day.

Thank god you said something; I had NO idea. And this is a thing I would like to celebrate.

ita ! beat me to "frozen chicken breasts will kick three weeks' ass." Dammit.

I would answer that question in a probably annoying way, but it's true -- completely situational! Give me a specific example and some context, and then I'll pick a side. Ideally, I get it done right and on time. (Perfect? Puh-leaze.)

Because books.

I have now eaten one of the cooked-then-frozen chicken breasts (in a SALAD, so I win all the nutrition points forever) and it tasted just fine. I need to fine-tune how to defrost it, but it worked okay.

Of course, if I'm dead later, well ...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

That is the point of the question - to illustrate how an interview candidate thinks. You cant give the 'right answer with out knowing more details (which is an answer). but any answer is good , because it gives insight

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I want bittersweet chocolate ice cream! Or a cupcake. Instead, I have a frozen burrito and way too much work to do by the end of the day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Bittersweet chocolate, I can do that.

I have nothing to say about Cupcakegate.

I do want to belatedly quote Futurama re: Will Shortz "I think that qualifies as ill, at least from a technical standpoint."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm so going to celebrate National Bittersweet Chocolate Day later. Right now I'm at Peets because we needed coffee, and I needed to get out of my house and do some work.

And eeps! The kids get out of school early on Tuesdays. I need to pick them up at 2. Oy. Must find a better after care arrangement, although truth be told, it's more for my benefit than theirs. Picking them up right after school works better for them, but it hobbles my work day.
