@figmentfan423 , I made a "no-fredo" pasta casserole with cauliflower, quinoa, and chickpea pasta. That should be lunch for the week. Also made a fat free balsamic. It has artichokes in the dressing. Makes it creamy. Got that off an Eat To Live recipe blog. Tastes like the balsamic dressing Fridays serves. Really good.:hungry: Hope your cooking went well, and you have leftovers.:)

Super smooth is good. Wildcat bounces my head around too much, which is the only reason I have a problem with it. We may be going back for Candy Lane. Tickets are only $18 if you purchase by Nov 11.
Wildcat is one that I usually only do once, if at all. I've gotten off that thing before with a headache. It's rougher than Comet, and Comet was built in the 40s. They were doing lights off at 8 pm, and we opted for Comet instead of Wildcat.

Great Bear, Laff Track...smooth as buttah. Great Bear is one that I think looks worse than it is. It's a lot of fun. We did it three times.

OMG, I need this!! I hope they still have it next time we go!!

It has been a favorite for over a decade. I'm glad when they closed Writers they moved that treat to Calderon. I'm hoping it stays as it is so popular. It is beyond awesome. I bought it and we put it in our fridge at our resort and enjoyed while we packed to come home. It is refrigerated at the store when bought so it was a welcome packing treat. (that photo was about 5 years old. Still the same) The mystery woman in the photo, I never met. :p

Your area has had its share of inclement weather for the past few months. I hope you get a break soon.

Me too! :oops: My son was in for a childhood/adult friends wedding. It rained from the rehearsal through the after reception. It just didn't rain it poured. The reception was at the Country Club not more than 2 blocks from my DD apartment as was the after party at our town Pub. He was on foot, responsible. The rain created such flooding that the 2 block walk was thwarted by the dip near the river that made it impossible to leave the reception on foot as their club exit was under water by foot. They had to shuttle guests 25 feet over the flooded out bridge. :facepalm: These young'ins try to be responsible and not drive. Kudos. But who plans for all that? :banghead: Despite it seems they had a wonderful wedding. Hawaii tomorrow.

Absolutely to all of those. You definitely want to make your space at work look very professional. :cat:

My Office was always professional. Someday I'll look for pic's of my DS office. Buzz, Totem Pole of Humprhey Wilderness Lodge, Disney Magnets, Disney Calendar, This year added a Banche from Pandora, lifeguard Mickey Plush and every wind-up motor vehicle for decades from the MK. He has a awesome pic of SSE on his wall too. The director of his department came to see him in his office this month (he is normally summoned to directors office) wonder what the dude thought of my DS office? I believe you work better surrounded by the things you love. :inlove:

Baltimore has a bad rap, and not that it's undeserved, but it's concentrated in areas you would neither need to go to nor want to go to. Use common sense and you'll be fine.

Besides, Coppin isn't really in the deep part of the city. It's just within city limits. But only barely. :)

I feel the same way about Chicago. It is a beyond awesome town. Still it is a huge populated area. Know where you are heading and where not to head to. As bad as parts of Chicago is the vast majority is beyond an awesome Urban area to visit. I love visiting.

Honestly, you'll be fine. Coppin is in the northern part of the city, also where Hopkins is. We drive through that general vicinity with no issue. I have an aunt and uncle that live in that area and work at Hopkins. No issue.

You'll be on 83 most of the way and then get on route 50, and you'll be there. Easy peezy. The area north is Baltimore County, which is definitely safe, with the exception of some lousy drivers. I went to a college in Baltimore County, and it's actually one of the safest schools in the country. While we wouldn't want to live in Baltimore City, we routinely are down there with no issue.

As far as being on campus, it's a college campus. There will be security. Mostly Baltimore police since Coppin is public. If you don't feel safe for whatever reason, just ask for an escort.

My only suggestion would be to avoid 695. 695 is just plain terrible. Not safety wise, but the traffic is a nuisance. Take 83 as much as possible if you can at all help it. 83 is pretty good traffic-wise. Safety wise would be to avoid gas stations within city limits. Not sure which direction you would go, but if you're taking 83 and need to stop someplace in Maryland, Hunt Valley is best. Towson in a pinch, but Hunt Valley is REALLY safe. And lots of food places. If you're coming from I-70, Columbia is best.
The same could be said for almost any large city. Even when Newark was bad the were 2 safe neighborhoods left. Same goes for NYC there were and are a few great places to go.

Food processor. Post above recipe.
My food processor is older than James and one of the boys, "He did it" broke the post the grating blade goes on. I have to sit on the phone with Kitchen Aid parts department because the regular customer service people couldn't figure out what part # I need:mad::brb::banghead: Most of the parts are easily replaced on the mixers, the processors not so much. The motor still works great so if parts isn't any more helpful than CS I'm not sure if I'm going to just get the attachment for the mixer or get a new processor:brb: and the boys wanted apple cinnamon so I never pulled out that recipe:oops:
