I usually cut the portion in half. BTW, for my Weight Watchers friends…the Cous Cous is 9 points for 1/8th of the pan (which is HUGE) and 4 points for 1/8 of the Harissa (again HUGE).

]]> Comment on Signing Up for Some Geek Pride, Thank You… by Adotnon http://nrbrown.com/2012/04/18/signing-up-for-some-geek-pride-thank-you/comment-page-1/#comment-3470 Adotnon Fri, 20 Apr 2012 02:04:19 +0000 http://nrbrown.com/?p=654#comment-3470 Just as everyone is someone else's geek and cool person, I think almost everyone is a bully and was bullied in turn. Not always to the extent of physical assault or intentional humiliation, but one of the things I remember most about my teenage years was the casual cruelty. When you're a self-centered kid it's hard to realize that your offhand remarks can have real impact. To play devil's advocate re: your wife and friends, I think that because so many geeky sorts define themselves by what they geek out about it's almost inevitable that there's some self-definition from what we DON'T like. I know I've done it (ask me about metalheads and country music fans sometime) and while it's not the best first reaction I get why it happens. Loved the video. Not as good as "Do You Wanna Date My Avatar" but quite clever! Just as everyone is someone else’s geek and cool person, I think almost everyone is a bully and was bullied in turn.

There is a time for writing and a time for sitting back and reflecting or doing something else.
