livingdebThings that are not good for buffets, because they don't stand sitting out well:
* scrambled eggs, or any eggs
* fried foods (they should be crispy on the outside)
* hot bread (on which you want to melt butter) (rolls, biscuits, pancakes, french toast, garlic bread--pizza can work okay sometimes)
* salads with dressing already mixed in
Well, then what would be good for buffets? Maybe
* soups
* rice, especially still in a giant rice cooker, with:
* hot soupy things to put over the rice (yea, Indian buffets!)
* baked potatoes (those stay hot a long time, wrapped in foil, right?)
* salads with the dressing not mixed in (yea salad bars!)
* ice cream, still in the big buckets, in a freezer (with toppings)
* many cold desserts, like cheesecake and cake, cut into small squares
* cobbler (if it is good cobbler to begin with)

In other news, my latest dream reminded me that it's best not to wait to prepare the lecture until the first few minutes of class. Especially if it turns out that the notes you thought you had on all the latest movies, which you thought would make a good basis for a lecture on communication, turned out to be just memories of a conversation you had with your sister back when all those movies were still just previews. And so now you have to use Google in front of everyone just to remind yourself which movies are showing.
Although that's probably not why the better classroom we moved into because it had stadium seating turned out to be an empty, though wide, driveway with Robin's truck at the end of it. (Which I did use for my lecture, by the way.) Or why, when I went back to the first classroom to get the stragglers, two of them had gotten drunk and then gotten married while I was gone.
Blog of the Day - Wil Wheaton's In Which I am a Trolldad, a heart-warming story about a father and his son. Well, maybe "heartwarming" isn't exactly the right word.
"Ryan texted me, 'Will you put the covers on the bed, so I don't forget them again?' I told him that I would do just that.
"...then I got this idea to be a Trolldad. Instead of making the bed," ...
