Also, hope that the regular festival goers are older... I am definitely in tether upper age bracket of those here. Though I have been asked if I'm at Uni (not convinced they meant over 10 years since starting as an undergrad)...

Don't run your battery down accessing mobile data, you will need it later on in the festival to hold up and record a hopelessly wobbly video of nothing on your phond whilst blocking the view of everyone in the crowd behind you and missing most of the action yourself.

Nah, not into photos, let alone video. Plus we have a recharging point (don't tell my mum).

Going to miss most of the headline stuff but looking forward to the Wu-Tang Clan and Fatboy Slim. I'm definitely showing my age!

While we are talking about Jewish food.....I haven't had lokshen pudding i don't think because dh and his family hate it. I'd like to try it one day because its so iconic. DH puts his foot down about very little but lokshen pudding is one of them.

Funnily enough the other is tuna pasta bake. Or pretty much any baked pasta apart from lasagne. V. Occasionally he tolerates maccerone. A friend wanted me to make him a macaroni cheese pie ( even I think that sounds gross, but would have done it for a friend...) and DH was horrified.

We had lockshen pudding for desert last night!

Which means my baked pasta post makes no sense

Lokshen pudding is a sweet baked pasta pudding, sort of like a pasta version of bread pudding from the look of it, and I have looked lots in the bakeries . Pasta, raisins, and cottage or cream cheese I think.

Crispy on top and golden.

Don't think...ewwww, sweet pasta, think ...rice pudding, bread puddings etc and it makes culinary sense. .

I thought you'd like macaroni cheese pie. Sounds like a drunken chewy carb fest. :eek:

what do you do if you went to an interview a week ago and haven't heard a peep?
chase? or just wait twiddling?

it's a professional post, in the real business world it's middle management but in academia, you are minion.

Did they say anything to you about when you would hear back during the interview?
