Thank you. I’ve bookmarked their site and will contact them tomorrow.
As for the Boston area being pricey, I have helped 2 students (both doctors) from my days teaching in Tokushima get set up in Boston when they were sent from Tokushima University Hospital to work/research at Mass Gen and indeed, I found the cost of living there to be quite high. That being said, LA has the best job prospects for me, but the cost of living there is, IMHO, astronomically high making moving to and living there out of the question. It was already getting high when I left there in 2007 to move to Portland, OR. In fact, that cost was a major reason for me to decide to leave.

I completed a TESOL certificate in 30 days in an intensive in-person course.
Annoyed/irritated/frustrated by food blogs where the blogger has posted umpteen paragraphs about this, that and whatever before they finally get around to posting the recipe for the dish they were writing about? Well, I am and found this on SMDB (Straight Dope Message Board). First a copy and paste of what was posted there:
……………………………………………………
“Here’s a website that changed my goddamned life: https://www.cooked.wiki.
Here’s how you use it:
Click the URL for some recipe that begins with the Epic of Gilgamesh or whatever. Copy it. Type “cooked.wiki/” and paste the URL. Voila!
Compare these two views of the same recipe (click through for the full effect):
(This is also a genuinely delicious hummus recipe that I make a few times a month and highly recommend).
It’s just about the best website ever.“

There is a browser extension (works on Chrome & variants) which does the hard
work for you. Then you just go to a recipe page and click on the extension’s icon.
Get it here:

Personally, for one reason or another, I am not too keen on browser extensions, but I thought I’d post that as well for those HO members who might be interested in that option.
Have at it and please feel free to repost the above elsewhere❣️
Suggest you look for a career coach type person given that you are looking to apply a pretty specific set of experiences and skills vs the run of the mill job search.
The internet has made finding folks who do specific things a lot easier, and also made it not always necessary to live and work in the same place.
Someone like that could also advise on you qualification gaps that may be easy to fill, rather than not including those jobs in your search. You don’t need to live where the work is if your skillset makes remote work a possibility.
It might take a small investment in the adviser as well as the missing qualifications, but it would be a worthwhile one if takes you from where you are now to a better place (work-wise).
I absolutely loathe waking up early, with my mind being flooded by thoughts I’d rather not contemplate. We’re so vulnerable in those first few waking moments, when it seems almost impossible to fend off the doom and gloom of what’s ahead.
But we must carry on, because despair is not an option.
Yay . I was determined to make it out today . Im free again . Even though I didn’t need anything. I went to the store for fun . Dixie fry chicken, cooked in the oven for dinner tonight.
Interesting read on Fahrenheit 451 from both directions. I believe it was the last page in BA? years ago where famous people talked about food. Ray Bradbury said his favorite comfort food was a can of Campbell’s tomato soup with milk or cream, not water. And enough crushed Ritz crackers to make the spoon stand up.
Really really really REALLY thankful for the off-and-on rain the Northeast has had since Thursday. As of this morning, it’s been about an inch in my general area of eastern Massachusetts, but it’s been enough to help knock back the brush fires that cropped up all over the place.
We hadn’t had more than a half inch of rain in a single measurement since early September, and the last full inch of measured rain was back in June. So this has been very much needed up the Eastern Corridor. Thankfully it wasn’t a downpour, which wouldn’t be able to be absorbed into to the hard, dry ground and could have caused flooding, as I know other areas of the country have received, but it’s been steady and gentle enough to allow it to soak into the ground. More rain expected for the Boston area on Tuesday and maybe Thanksgiving.
It’s not to my taste, but if she enjoyed it, whatever. (Narrator - she did not enjoy it. It was clickbait.)
I think people look for excuses to freak out about “not washing the chicken”, when there have been plenty of studies out there that show it is more likely to contaminate your sink and kitchen to wash the bird than not.
I took more issue with this quote from her:
“I’m not my grandmother. And it’s really hard to remember how to make all these things homemade and it takes a lot of time,” she said.
It’s really not that hard, if you actually like cooking. But she doesn’t. Otherwise she wouldn’t have posted the clickbait. The sides she put in that pan are not that time consuming either. But, again, I’m sure she knows that.
To her I say:
