On Food and Grades

Why can't socially-conscious junk food taste good? Last night, I gave out Endangered Species chocolates to trick-or-treaters (Nikita didn't see most of them because he was still "eating" dinner). I tried one later, and they're not that great. Funnily enough, Igor ate a whole bunch of them, and he doesn't even like chocolate. He was awfully hungry, though.

And now, I'm munching through Chocolate Chunk cookies from Back to Nature. No hydrogenated oils, but also little taste.

On grades: I've got so many appointments with students this week, I'm tempted to give them higher grades on their papers.
