I have never actually used a cookie press, I did not know there was required sticking to the sheet.
We have one, and my mom has one, and as far as I knew the dough was sticky enough to ... stick. But we always use the butter pretzel recipe, I think.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

I dislike the silpat I have because the bottoms of the cookies cook wrong? But I'd try parchment paper or even aluminum foil.
On my résumé I don't put "I ran a 2500 person conference" or whatever, but just leave off the I. "Ran 2500 person conference; oversaw three staff members and budget of 700 million" or whatever (none of those are things on my résumé)

But here's a question: should a resume be written in 1st person? Like, "I did x and I did that"? Because a former coworker, a tech editor, edited my resume that way and it just looks weird to me. Is that the thing now?
In a cover letter, but on the resume I've rarely seen it that way. It would strike me as a little odd.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Resume used power verbs, no first person. Cover letter, more braggy; I oversaw; I developed.
Skills fit the position vs. I have these, choose me.
One unlocks the door; the other opens it up. You have to walk over the threshold and put the chokehold on the job.

Right, that's what I thought. So confused. Thing is, the guy who did the editing is an old friend & the husband of my old boss, who offered his services as a favor. Well, I just won't send that one around, I think...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I worked all day and now my brain is toast. But DH has decided to take advantage of the free HBO and gorge on GoT. I hadn't watched it before, but it goes down surprisingly easy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Groceries and basketball. That's my day.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Well done, lad!
Timelies, all... we did the Easter vigil last night, including a bonfire and a candlelit procession out front, three grown-up baptisms with a big warm tub and a conch shell, and a late-night potluck feast afterward, during all of which Matilda was a complete and utter charming boo. She kept hovering around the potluck table, pointing out our macaroni salad and encouraging everyone in line to try it, then running back to me to report on its consumption (she herself had none, owing to the dubious presence of celery, but she may try it later today in the car on the way home).
Then Easter egg hunting first thing this morning, pancakes imminent, and then the drive home with the stereo all loaded with Greg Brown and Cheryl Wheeler and all the music that gives Emmett hives.
Happy Easter, happy eggs and chocolate, happy lazing-around-deliciously-doing-nothing day, and even happy productive day and onerous task day for those who need one.
