Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Re [Quiz]Cooking - Culinary Terms

90%. I changed one answer to my detriment.

Which, I suppose, is a good thing. I'd hate for anybody to think that I actually cook.

100%. I guess all those PBS cooking shows that DH likes to watch on Saturdays are good for something.

Re [Quiz]Cooking - Culinary Terms

80%. I changed one based on the wording that I shouldn't have. The other one I had no idea.

Re [Quiz]Cooking - Culinary Terms

That messed me up two - I'd define it somewhat differently, but that doesn't excuse all the other ones I messed up.

Re [Quiz]Cooking - Culinary Terms

Yeah, we asked the master chef who gave us the quiz before a 2 day food familiarization course. He said to picture a piece of beef or chicken and giving it that scored look.

You have 3 more of his quizzes this week and there are some gimmes so it's all good.

Re [Quiz]Cooking - Culinary Terms

(shrug) I wasn't arguing with him. He has too many awards.

I did double-check to make sure that I wrote the right answer, and I did. So, we'll see what hapens on the next quiz:

Common Kitchen Equipment

I'll fail that one unless it includes things like tortilla presses and fat separators.

Re [Quiz]Cooking - Culinary Terms

90%! I'll bet I missed the same one as everyone else, and I guessed at one and got it right, but the term was completely unfamiliar to me. Bring on the next quiz.
