Having to attend to things campus wide, committee work, ALA stuff, etc. in addition to my primary duties is new and challenging. Not overwhelming (yet), but much more to handle and stay on top of then just jetting off to the ref desk after class.

It took ALL DAY LONG and was not without obstacle, but I now have a humidifier and I hope it helps with this awful state of Winter Cold. *achoo!*

Cool. My throat has been SO dry, and I felt my worst when trying to go to sleep and upon waking. Looking forward to some relief.

Due to the wintry mix falling in the DC metro area right now, I will make another batch (or two!) of buttermilk biscuits.
Butter in the freezer to firm up before grating!
- Derrick
I only started making biscuits in the last six months and I love it. So simple with ingredients I usually have on hand: flour, baking powder/soda, salt, butter, buttermilk. The technique can be a little tricky, but it's worth it!

Landlord came home and shoveled the walk. Oh well.

Bourbon Cough Syrup for Grownups - http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-...
Feb 13, 2014

"It's basically hot bourbon and lemon juice, with a heaping helping of honey. I cut it with a bit of water, too, but that's optional. It's an easy nightcap, steaming and warm, with a stiff shot of booze to put you to sleep, lemon for Vitamin C, and all that sweet honey to make it go down easy."
- Derrick
Jason, why wait?

I was hoping I had enough milk, though I'm happier about finding a stash of lemongrass and green tea, because sick.
I mean, I don't like the sick part, but you do have that bourbon cough syrup recipe too.

I might need shoveling lessons. My landlord, who's done it so far this winter, is out of town.

- jambina
If it looks like it's going to be deep, don't wait till it's over to get started. Take advantage of lulls and start shoveling. Especially with wet, heavy snow, it's better to do it in stages rather than all at once. Also, it keeps people from trampling on it.

Had a vendor give me a price quote...that happened to be the wrong price, but works in the library's favor to the tune of a $5K savings. I think I'll go with the database.
was that in writing?

We have excellent people that handle all of that stuff actually, so I'm more than happy to bow at their prowess in dealing directly with our vendors.

You'll have to check out the eastern shore of MD and the DE beaches when it's warmer. Lots of fun places to visit. I'm actually working on a trip back east for late spring so maybe we can do a mini road trip to the beach!

I was eyerolling because of the hassle, closures, traffic, and hullabaloo about it, but the snow, at least today when it's bright and sunny (and hovering around 0° with the wind chill), is really quite beautiful.
Snow days are REAL.
Perhaps it will actually snow.

Obligatory work from home dance break to J.Lo's "Love Don't Cost a Thing" before returning emails. BRB
I should work from home more often. Maybe on days where I don't have to teach or am besieged with hellafied meetings.
It is pretty nice, but you have to stay focused. (And by you, I mean me.)
- Zamms
Right now it's a lot of email and scheduling classes for the semester, etc. but it's a light day. Everyone's Polar Vortex'ed out, the students are still out for another week, and my comm faculty aren't back yet because the new building is still under construction, kinda sorta. But I hear you, Herr Zamms!

Recipe: Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup - http://www.thekitchn.com/slow-co...
Jan 7, 2014
from
This soup requires little prep work for the amount of flavor it yields: I started with my favorite red enchilada sauce as the base; it's so easy but packs in tons of flavor, way more than your average canned stuff. I tossed the sauce into my slow cooker along with corn, beans, and chicken thighs, then left it overnight to work all of its magical slow cooker powers. By morning I had a luscious soup that needed little more than salt and pepper to give it a boost. (Of course, if you feel like gilding the lily, a splash of heavy cream and a handful of cheddar take this recipe over the top!)

Welp, I guess I'll make this soup...
