Job Sense!: Raph's Response

Raph says:

Greetings, Ben Weber and Loyal Constituents,

Like a desert oasis, Ben has offered me an opportunity to talk about my job. I teach remedial reading in a high school, which means my days are rich with infuriating, adorable, hormonal teenaged people, whose stories I would be delighted to share with you. Here’s a sample:

Amanuel
One time Amanuel was late to class, and crawled into the room on his hands and knees so as not to disrupt anyone. On cultural diversity day, he was the only student who dressed up in a cultural relevant costume, a full-body Ethiopian linen shirt and pants. He looked kind of sheepish, but he kept it up the entire day. One time Amanuel asked me if right whales are called that because they have strong moral fiber.

Jhovany
I was in a meeting with a student’s parent and another teacher, and Jhovany walked into the room to tell me that he’d seen me walking downtown the day before.

Ryan
Ryan and I are buddies, and by buddies I mean we ride the bus together in the morning and he likes to throw stuff at my head. One time I got new shoes and told him I don’t like it when new sneakers haven’t been broken in yet, and he proceeded to stomp on my foot, hard. Ryan was in a really crappy bike accident, which involved slamming into a parked car, and he enjoys grossing me out by describing the way he can feel a stray bone floating around in his face somewhere in the vicinity of his nose. I call him Lego Man, because he’s falling apart like he’s made of Legos. He enjoys the nickname, possibly a bit too much— the other day he called me Lego Lady, so it may be time to retire that one.

Stay tuned for more of Raph’s Response coming soon!

This is a response to this week’s assignment.

Pirouettes
As a kid, I loved pirouette cookies by Pepperidge Farm. Light and delicate, the tube shape also makes them fun to eat. Over the holidays, a neighbor made some cat’s tongues, for which I am still awaiting the recipe, and the cookies reminded me of flattened pirouettes—shaped like a cat’s tongue, of course. Once I get the recipe from her, I will be sure to share it here. While waiting for the recipe, I got to thinking about making pirouettes, especially since they go really well with gelato (see photo from my last post about gianduja gelato). When I noticed that this recipe calls for just egg whites and the gianduja gelato needed the yolks, I knew I had to make them together.

Oatmeal Cookies
Last week my son and I had our violin/viola recitals and our teacher asked me to bring some cookies. I decided to make some oatmeal cookies since it has been a while since I made them. I like this recipe because the cookies are a little chewy, and I remember most oatmeal cookies I had as a kid being kind of dry and hard.
Oatmeal cookies always seem like they are supposed to be better for your health, but I don’t think I completely buy into that theory. It’s pretty much the same amount of butter and sugar as most any other cookie. Maybe the added raisins or optional craisins (dried cranberries) are supposed to convert the skeptics.
