Back to the subject of this thread....Oh...wait a minute....there's a spider [CRUNCH, SPLAT]. Ok.
Since I didn't land a job this year, it looks like I need to apply in Mississippi, Alabama, and North Dakota. And maybe I'll toss in some applications to Alaska, Arkansas, Louisianna, Texas, and Utah.
The rest of you, just keep applying exclusively to those big city RI's and prestigious SLAC's. This might just work!
If you wind up near us you had better be ready for heat and humidity, friendly people, small town, and us close by. ;) And we do mean FRIENDLY! Total strangers will strike up conversations about where you are from and what church you go to. If you don't go, find out what church they go to and claim any other one than that one. (word of advice) |

...only after reading gm's post, my new mantra is "always listen to gennimom".

Oh Yes. With a little careful planning you can eat REALLY good food every Sunday just for the price of sitting and daydreaming for an hour or so. |

I lived briefly in SE Asia and attended a local Baptist church there (in the native language even) and was fed a feast every Sunday! |

But did they have southern fried chicken, mashed taters, gravy, and green beans with bacon? |

But did they have southern fried chicken, mashed taters, gravy, and green beans with bacon? No, they always had three different dishes served in a tri segment dinner plate and they always pointed at one of the three and said in broken English,"Maybe American not eat this one. Too hot." They did often serve icecream afterwards (which didn't put out the fire, of course). |

They would have trouble keeping me out of the dish that was "too hot". I love spicy food.

I ate it all every time. But... at times I did think my head would explode. I grew up eating hot spicy Cajun food. That was not enough training for real hot southeast Asian food... |

Cajun and south Texas here. My father used to eat Louisiana green hot sauce on crackers. <I finally made senior member with this post> |

Louisiana green hot sauce IS edible on crackers. Some of that Thai stuff will make you see Jesus in a Cadillac.

TGI Friday's has a dish called the dragonfire chicken. I think. I know it is HOT. I ordered it and wound up drinking 5 glasses of tea and eating all the bread I could get my hands on. But the taste was wonderful.
