First date/First home cooked meal
I have invited a new romantic intrest and her daughters(9 & 11) to dinner at my home.
Initially I suggested that she and her daughters should pick the menu. This came up in conversation that we both love to cook. Now however, I'm thinkingmmaybe I should continue with my bold approach, and set the menu myself.
My quandary here is thus, while I desire some romantic aspects, I definitely want to prevent the daughters from feeling less than included. As a parent myself, if the kiddos don't cluck too, it's probably not going to work. I consider myself to be of above average in reference to my skills in the kitchen, and would like a meal that can show off a bit of that talent, without it looking luke I'm trying too hard.
The only culinary intel I have at the moment is; they like "everything", the really love Thai food and there are no food allergies to contend with. Now I have never cooked anything Thai, and honestly, have only eaten it maybe twice. And I wasn't particularly impressed. So I'm hesitant to go that route. I may only get one chance and I really want to impress all three of them.
I know I want to use my cookies (chocolate chip, or some variant, as my "ace in the hole", but that leaves an entire meal to plan.
Ladies (and gents) I could use some suggestions as, this is my first attempt at "woo-ing" with a home cooked meal.
Thanks Rebel_Son
I've dated single mothers and and I can tell you when a new man enters the lives of their kids....the women are not the ones to ask. Women want the kids to like the new guy and vice versa for the guy to like their kids.... in the beginning they want you to believe it's all easy ...but the kids will always still love their Dad.
Cooking something elaborate will not always be appreciated because the kids will think of it as weird. Once I made a four cheese Mac n' Cheese with toasted fresh bread crumbs atop the dish for similar aged kids you indicated. The younger kid ate it willfully and enjoyed it, but the older kid would not saying that's not the way they like it and wouldn't touch it.
I suggest you go the simpler along the comfort route with something like Roast Chicken with mashed potatoes...Or Spaghetti and Meatballs with some nice Italian or French Bread on the table..
Concentrate on a dessert they would like.
I've won the kids over more by allowing them to watch the TV shows they like and engaging them in conversation about their day...rather than the food I cooked for them I had ready when they came home.
re: fourunder
Being a dad of four, I absolutely know that the kids need to know that they are included, not just tolerated. This is precisely why I have invited her to include them from the earliest possible time. I want them (mom and the daughters) to know that I understand they are a package deal. I won't let a new girlfriend take time from my kids and I will not ask her to do so either.
re: fourunder
I am utterly enjoying the image of a child eating mac and cheese 'wilfully'. Heh.
re: Lizard
ultimately, she enjoyed it..
Perfectly balanced Thai red curry sauce with minimal work. I've entertained with this recipe and have used seared butterflied prawns, and/or scallops in place of the salmon. You can really play up the presentation.
re: emglow101
Since this entire date (read interview) is based on our shared passion for cooking, take out is definitely our of the question, and as I have offered to cook, it will be to my benefit to cook in my kitchen, where I know where everything is and I will be more at ease in my familiar space. Making it less stressful and more conducive to easy conversation.
Maybe pizzas, with homemade or storebought dough. I suggest that because it would allow the girls to participate, both in preparing the toppings and selecting combinations of their choosing. Pizza is a safe choice for almost all kids, and I think the most important thing you can do, in terms of making a favorable impression on their mother, is to demonstrate that you want to establish a comfortable relationship with her daughters. You can prepare sauce and cheese ahead of time, but the girls could slice mushrooms on a hard-boiled egg slicer, tear up greens and slice cukes and tomatoes for side salads, etc. They could help portion and bake the cookie dough, too. Or you could make that the interactive part of the meal. Make a basic oatmeal or brown sugar cookie dough, divide it into different bowls, and allow the kids to add various dried fruits, baking chips, and nuts. Stores like Trader Joe's have freeze-dried banana chips and berries that could also be used as add-ins. Use cupcake papers in a muffin tin to hold the add-in "buffet".
I agree with the idea previous to have an interactive aspect to the meal, and to serve a very casual comfort food (that your romantic interest could imagine having on a regular wednesday night)
A special touch like a serving them milk in a wineglass with dinner or having a sparkling apple cider in a champagne flute would be fun.
For the menu make what you know and consider a signature recipe and serve family style so the girls can try as much or as little as they want. But with awesome choco chip cookies you're already golden :)
Awesome! This is extremely helpful. Now I'm thinking I need more intel. At the very least, I should find out if the girls would even appreciate helping make dinner.
And pizza is sounding better the more I ponder it. Most kids of any age like pizza and, it is definitely something that can shocase several of my culinary talents. Plus it provides opportunity to get everyone involved (if they want) and to "personalize" each entrée without requiring an excessive level of attention. Leaving plenty of time for conversation among all four of us. Oooh, and it's not too "heavy". To be sure there is room left for my amazing cookies.
I think this could be the perfect solution. Allowing us to enjoy a board game or even a movie while we sample and share "custom" good eats. While staying safely within my culinary knowledge base. I can do a more challenging meal once I know all of them a little better.
Thank you all so much. I have never been so uncertain in attempting to impress a woman, much less three at the same time.
I'll update this thread after the meal, and thanks again.
re: rebel_son
While I thought the pizza idea was good one at one time....from an actual experience, I can tell you it was not in the end.
First, be prepared for the clean-up at the end. It's not pretty.
Second, with all the best intentions for a fun time.....the end result was not good. Even for adults, stretching dough can be problematic. Think of how much more difficult it end up being for young kids. It's not easy for a kid on his own to stretch and maintain a thin dough. As a result, the pie crust becomes very thick and hard...or not cooked enough. The kids didn't finish their pizzas and it ended up being a disappointment for them. Consider that before you ultimately decide on your final course of action.
re: fourunder
Definitely agree with this. All of my first pizza attempts have been very frustrating.
I now simply sauce and top pita bread.
re: jaykayen
I've actually used the pita bread trick with my own kids when they were younger. But they got totally excited when I taught them how to toss the dough. Most kids are quite fascinated by learning "cool" things like this.
re: fourunder
Great observations. However, I worked as a pizza cook for a small but busy independent pizza shop in college (almost 5 years), and among other duties, I trained new cooks. Including how to quickly and properly stretch fresh made dough (that I also made). This will actually showcase some of my "fun" skills. And if you are cooking (with or without kids involved), and not making a mess...well you're just not having fun doing it. LOL This could be perfect.
re: rebel_son
GREAT attitude and solution. Perhaps experiment with a Thai chicken saytay prepped as a pizza topping for a pressed into the pan rice "crust" -- just to show you listened?
re: MidwesternerTT
Now that is a very unique idea. It would appear that the time has come for me to expand my culinary knowledge into Thailand.
re: rebel_son
Kids that age should definitely love pizza. And enjoy picking and helping with toppings if not learning to toss the dough (though that should be fun too, but I suggest preparing more dough than necessary in case of accidents).
On that note, I feel compelled to say that I love my baking steel for making pizzas at home. :)
re: Sirrith
Absolutely, I always make extra dough when cooking with the kids. It's cheap.
As for the actual baking process, I have to say I'm more old school. Gotta have my pizza stone. Mine is actually a custom made terracotta tile (21" wide x 17" deep x 1-3/4" thick) that I keep in the oven at all times. Besides being a pain to store otherwise, it helps keep my oven temps more even.
I haven't seen baking steel. I used to work with a guy who's brother made artisanal tile, and he swore he would never make another stone like that. Apparently the thickness was a big problem for him. I couldn't imagine making homemade pizza without it though. It's just the best way (in my opinion) to get that perfect crust. Crispy and chewy.
re: rebel_son
Baking steel is a new thing... and makes a lot more sense than stone.
You could try Thai chicken pizza, one of the classic dishes at California Pizza Kitchen.
re: rebel_son
Let them introduce you to it if there's a follow-up to this dinner.
re: sr44
I do like the idea of letting them be my guide into Thai cusine.
re: rebel_son
yeah I love the stuff, but if unused to the cuisine I'd leave Thai for down the road. definitely keep it on your radar, but not for an 'opening night' it's not all THAT difficult, but I dunno MY nerves would be on edge enough.
the pizza idea is a good and interactive one. let's make dinner a game.
My BF and his brothers have relied on chicken parmigiana for years of wooing. When I babysat my little cousins for a week, they love Italian and luckily that is my main style. I made a lasagna: ragu bolognese, bechemel, the works. They still ask their mom if I can babysit them even though they can take care of themselves now.
I would simply make something that you make all the time, is easy and stress free. Prep anything possible in the days before. Not much in the world sexier than a man who knows what he is doing. I would not expect the kids or their mother to help cook. If she really loves cooking there will be plenty of opportunities later where you can cook together. If she wants to help, ask her to make a cocktail or open a bottle of wine.
Thai food is great. If you have never made it before I would not suggest trying it. If they love Thai food, honestly I can't imagine that your first attempt is going to live up to their standard.
re: jaykayen
That is definitely my thoughts.
Assuming the kids would like to get involved with cooking dinner/dessert : individual pizzas or calzones. homemade shumai (chinese dumplings), homemade ice cream, homemade sugar cookies where they help decorate ( along with your killer choc chip cookies), homemade pretzels, etc..
after dinner: Play board games with prizes: taboo, uno, blokus, etc.
Do a scavenger hunt within your house --eg "tick tock, I am a clock (hint: living room)" , telling them they have to find all the clues because the end clue will tell them where your dessert, appetizer, or whatever is hiding.
Maybe do individual haunted houses with house shaped cookies, frosting and halloween colored candies (a variation of the christmas candy houses which I have always done with my kids and friends to great success).
All the above suggestions are ways (hopefully) to get the two daughters ( esp the 11 year old one) to come out
of their shell and warm up to you . . .which, of course, is what you and your date want them to do to nuture a potential rlationship..
The 11 year old is almost a teenager, dont be surprised if she doesn't want to get involved with anything you do or suggest.
re: cookinglisa
Cookinglisa- my oldest daughter just turned 18 in August. Every little girl is different, but I think I've got the (basic) skills to gently bring her out of any shell she may be hiding in. ;-)
But, wish me luck anyway.
re: Hobbert
I've got a pretty mean taco meat but, something Thai inspired could work quite well. This will definitely be in my cookbook. But I think it's going to require some experimenting before I serve it up to a new lady friend. Bubble belly is certainly not conducive to the evenings I hope to plan for/with her. ;-)
But a thank you is definitely in order for the Thai taco suggestion.
I think you can't go wrong with the classics. A dish like homemade lasagna or a roast chicken is both comforting and familiar. You can dress it up with some scratch garlic bread or scratch stuffing to show off your skills.
You won't be standing in the kitchen fussing with dinner beforehand so everyone can relax and get to know each other. Keep it simple and stress free!
My husband and I were both single parents when we met and my baked chicken sealed the deal!
re: bugablue13
re: rebel_son
Please know that we expect a full report on how the date went! Food details, especially. Enjoy.
A roast chicken is usually appreciated by about everyone. The kids are at the age that they would like a really good mac and cheese.
I love the interactive dinner ideas and would try to go with one of those.
Really, I'm writing to say I want your "amazing" cookie recipe, please.
re: hippiechickinsing
Alas, someone always wants the cookie recipe. Mine is sacred. Neither of my wives even got that one. Oh, I would let them help when I was baking, and they both tried to duplicate my cookies, with sometimes disastrous results.
I can't give you my secret recipe but, a friend of mine has a very good one that is close to mine. I'm sure you know Alton Brown. Popular from the Food Network shows Good Eats and more recently the host of Iron Chef America. We've know each other since jr. high. And he's been trying to make my cookies since then. His are as close as anyone has come.
Search for "the chewy" in his recipes on the Food Network site.
re: rebel_son
If I may offer my very humble suggestion, have you considered just grilling burgers or something on the grill? Outside, if possible? I'm single, no kiddies yet, but my friends' kids go absolutely wild for anything on the grill - burgers, chicken etc. And if you can do the cooking outside - or part of the cooking- you save time on cleanup and no cooking smells need linger inside.
You can do an All American with the usual potato salad etc, or international. You said they like Thai? Maybe addsome Thai peanut noodes ascacside, or green papaya salad instead of cole slaw. Thai iced tea, maybe mango sorbet. And your cookies. As far as I'm concerned, you can serve chocoate chip cookies for the entire meal. :)
Good luck!
re: Miri1
I do love to grill and she definitely strikes me as one that will appreciate a nicely done steak. I really want to show that I'm at home in the kitchen. Most men can grill... And with our passion for cooking being our initial connection I have a strong desire to "put my money where my mouth is", most women grow tired of men who boast of this skill or that. I aim to prove that it ain't bragging if it's true.
re: rebel_son
I do hope you pass it onto someone, eventually.
re: youareabunny
I have always hoped to pass my culinary secrets to on of my children (I have 4) but, none seem interested in cooking. I do however, have a niece (she's 14) that never misses a chance to cook with me. I have already started her on some of the tricks I know, and she thoroughly loves cooking.
Saturday I showed her how to make a can of Wolf Brand chili taste like homemade. She didn't believe me, until she tried it.
My beloved niece will most likely be the one I pass my cookie recipe to. I'm thinking maybe when she gets engaged. That will be my engagement gift. My wedding gift will probably be teaching her to make my prime rib. Gotta make sure she can feed her man right. But for now, when my brother is too busy, I'm the one chasing boys off with a nice big stick.
re: rebel_son
I always tried to get my son to learn about cooking when he was growing up, but he wasn't interested.
First semester at college, he sang a different tune. He realized fast that the only way he was going to consistently get good food was by making it himself.
He has become an amazingly adventuresome cook. He bakes, he smokes, he cures...you name it.
Moral of the story: There is hope!
re: rebel_son
Sorry, rebel - "sacred" recipes are hugely destructive to relationships or even friendships. DO NOT make these then refuse to give the full and accurate recipe to the woman you're seeking to woo. Whether anyone else can replicate it is not the point. Trust and sharing of joy is.
Make something else for dessert.
re: MidwesternerTT
I agree. Secret recipes are stupid. I mean, really, what is the point? Whatever the motive to keep a recipe secret, it can't be good...
re: sandylc
Disagree - a professional baker asked me for a recipe I'd created, because he wanted to make and sell the cookies.
I might have sold the recipe had he made an offer, but he expected me to provide it gratis. I saw no reason to divulge it under those circumstances.
re: greygarious
I would file that under special circumstances.
re: greygarious
That's the idea. By only passing my recipe to someone that will always give due credit is important to me. I've had recipes "stolen" before and it sucks. To have someone that can only follow a detailed set of instructions claim to have "created" your hard work and talent, is simply frustrating. I did the work, and I want the credit.
I will make any of my private recipes anytime, for anyone. But I will not let someone else take credit for MY creation.
I trust my niece to understand the "code of the kitchen", and in turn, find the next worthy soul. I still have recipes passed down my family tree just this way. The family knows that I'm the only one that Pawpaw taught them to. I honor his memory and his wishes to keep them secret.
Don't get mad because YOU don't have a secret recipe. Go create something! Or develop a close relationship with that family member who has the recipes.
Cooking is as much science as it is art. Just like a magician, to preserve them both we must protect them from the decievers.
That is a quote I read somewhere years ago.
I cook with the same passion as I put into my music (I play the drums) and the same passion I bring to the bedroom. You see all three of these seemingly unrelated activities are very special to me. I take none of them lightly! If I can't give it my all, I won't do it.
Wow! I think we have slipped a little off topic here.
My advice is to avoid Thai, and I don't think that the idea of letting them lead YOU into Thai will work, because the ingredient set is too specific, and you're bound to lack something. Make a casserole or lasagna.
About getting kids involved: if you have the basic skills, go get a proper hardware store blow torch and let them finish a creme brulee dessert. You could also involve them in appetizers and early stuff. Buy several melons, and ask them to smell which one smells best, and then put them to work with melon ballers.
My assumption, as a male, is that any woman bringing her two kids to dinner with you is not foremost concerned with romance. Have a good time! Other kinds of good times are for another occasion.
re: Bada Bing
Thank you for finding the original topic in all this mess.
I do like your suggestions and the idea of letting them guide me into Thai food was meant for down the road.
Definitely agree that romance is not likely to be a priority for her at this occasion. But I was a Boy Scout for years and in active service with the Navy for 12 years, the one thing they both stress is....be prepared. ;-)
re: rebel_son
Be prepared to listen! The rest will follow. She already likes you a LOT if she's bringing kids. (I speak as a man, but that's my assessment.)
This may seem oddly specific, but last year I bought a microwave popcorn maker for the microwave. It works great, and the kids could work it with modest supervision. Movie night!
This type, though I think I got mine at Target and the brand (but not the structure) might be different:
re: Bada Bing
I like your line of thought. I was thinking of suggesting she pick up a movie for all of us or, at her discretion, one for the girls to watch in the den and one for us to watch in my room. But I hesitate with such a risqué suggestion. It might be taken the wrong way, or the right way, depending on your motives. Or I could suggest a movie for the girls so she and I could relax and chat out on the patio by the pool. It's already too chilly to suggest a night swim.
I am quite ready for most of what a relationship entails, but for the first time in my life, I feel hesitant to rush into bed. This thoroughly confuses this dyed in the wool Scorpio. We never hesitate. Or have I just finally "grown up"?
re: rebel_son
First date with the whole family? Yes to letting the kids watch tv while you have a drink by the pool. No to putting the girls in the den with a movie while you two retire to the bedroom for whatever reason. That can wait a bit I think.
re: miss_belle
As a single mom who has two kids 9 and 12 and is actively dating, I would definitely concur. It would be uncomfortable for everyone involved. Best to keep those moments totally separate from the kids if and when they do happen.
I think the pizza idea sounds great, as well as having a movie for them to watch. Enjoy!
re: fourunder
Agreed. I can't (and won't) speak for all women, but to my mind, it's unlikely that a mom with kids in tow would be thinking of any serious canoodling on a first date...no matter how good the company or the food.
re: pinehurst
This is OT, but this has been bugging me since I started reading this thread yesterday and I need to get this out: I'm a single mom to a 10 year old and, for the life of me, can't understand how/why another single mother would bring her kids along on a first date. Call me old fashioned, but I believe the time to introduce the man in my life to my child is once the relationship is established, and I know the guy is going to be around for awhile.
re: HeyImBack
Completely agree. I've read the original post a couple times and I can't figure out if it's the first date or just the first time meeting the kids. If it's the former, that's a questionable plan.
re: Hobbert
maybe "first date" with the kids?
re: hotoynoodle
Could be. That would make sense.
re: HeyImBack
Or the OP could have just used the word date to emphasis the importance of the meal and to imply that he wants to impress the woman and her daughters. It's just a word.
re: viperlush
I don't think it's the "date" part that anyone's confused about. It's that he said its a "first date". If he meant he wanted to impress this woman and her kids, he could've just said that.
re: Hobbert
Just to clear this one up a bit. This will be a first date. I have chosen to suggest bringing her daughters because, as a single dad, I know that the kids have alot more sway than they are given credit for most of the time.
I found myself in a position where I could choose to "hide" from the kids and just spend time with her. Leaving the possibility that the kids put me out down the road. Or I could include them from the beginning. This route very clearly demonstrates that I understand this is a package deal and that I am looking/hoping long term, not just for a hook-up.
Kids have a way of seeing things mom/dad don't, because they are distracted by other issues. Impress the kids and I'm ahead of the curve. I would like to see this blossom into something grand.
I know she is not looking for a daddy gor her girls (their father is very involved with them) but, it is still very important that her daughters and I get along to some degree, as they will likely be included in most of our time together.
I come from a broken home and I remember how my parents approach to dating and relationships often made my brothers and I feel unimportant and unconsidered. We seem to share the idea that our children ARE very important and need to be considered in just about anything we do, regardless of relationship status.
My approach is certainly unconventional but, so is my life. I drum for a moderately successful rock band and she is a waitress at one of our new venues. We met on a busy Saturday night during a break between sets. It was chaos at best. So rather than a flashy night out on the town, I opted for a quiet night in and invited the girls. Her nights off are during the week and she usually spends most of that down time with her daughters. My proposition is win, win, win for both of us. I get to cook, and for a beautiful and charming lady and I don't have to eat alone. For her, she doesn't have to find a sitter, she doesn't have to cook, she doesn't lose out on time with her girls and it's not get dressed up and go out partying all night.
It's different but I think it is the optimal situation.
re: rebel_son
Well then, hopefully she agrees.
I for one would never involve my child in the early stages of a relationship. IME, there is way too much at stake. My child is extremely important, honestly more important than some man I met on a busy Saturday night. If I met someone as you described the two of you meet I would be more comfortable meeting for coffee mid day, get a chance to talk "in the bright of day". I would not want flashy night out on the town, partying all night at all as a first date no matter how we met! But I would never bring my child to virtual strangers home either.
Dinner with the kids would be something I would build towards. How do I make my child feel comfortable and safe if I know nothing of this man? How do I answer his questions?
Save dinner for the family for later. If you want casual and low key go ahead and do that, out in public.
Maybe I am old fashioned.
re: foodieX2
Ok, I'm stealing your response :)
re: Hobbert
re: rebel_son
That's fine. I think it a bit odd on her part but rather nice on yours. Hope dinner goes well.
re: rebel_son
One movie. For everyone. Not "us" and "them"
On your next date together you can giggle over the cheesey movie, talk about how her girls loved/hated the meal, and have an entire evening of shared experience. She will appreciate that a lot.
Folks, this thread got weirdly testy in a few places, and we've removed a fair number of posts from it that were personal attacks back and forth and also some that were telling other people how they should and shouldn't post.
We don't want to lock the thread, but we do ask that everyone keep things focused on food -- if your post isn't strongly focused on what rebel_son should make for this date, it's probably off-topic. Even well-meant advice on whether his date idea is or isn't appropriate is really off-topic here.
re: The Chowhound Team
I appreciate and respect that.
I was fairly sure that this site had some sort of "hall monitors", and you would step in sooner or later.
Thank you.
-I mean no disrespect with the hall monitor label. I am new to this and am unsure of the proper title.
it seemed best to stay out of the fray yesterday.
i'd skip cooking thai if you're not well-versed in it and just pick whatever you make that can be mostly made ahead and that always knocks everybody's socks off. nothing too starchy or cheesy so nobody needs a nap after dinner.
spaghetti or any kind of twirly pasta can be messy to eat and a guest might feel embarrassed if they stain their date blouse.
braises are both homey and special-seeming since they do take a long time, but are perfect for entertaining since you can do them several days in advance and then just gently reheat before serving-- something like beef bourguignon or osso bucco. these sorts of dishes always taste better a day or two later anyway! the latter pairs well with polenta, which can also be made ahead.
getting the kids involved in the kitchen can be a good idea, but you don't know if they are used to it and could end up being cyclones in there, leaving you with nothing very edible and a giant mess at the end of things.
instead, maybe plan a "make-your-own" sundae set-up for dessert, including those precious cookies of yours. set out little dishes of all sorts of toppings and make fresh whipped cream.
good luck!
re: hotoynoodle
Originally I suggested that she and her daughters choose the menu. Concearn that they may choose something I'm not so good at preparing (ie: fried chicken or well anything breaded/battered and fried) or otherwise beyond my skills. I wanted a menu B and possibly C to jump in and suggest. This is how I landed here on Chowhound.
At this point I'm pretty settled on my homemade lasagna or the build your own pizza for my alternative suggestions.
The cookies are a definite dessert. Though I'll try to fish for some idea of which flavor/chip variant will surprise and impress them most.
re: rebel_son
i'd go with lasagne. :) it's made ahead and better the next day.
maybe build your own bruschetta then as a side or starter?
re: rebel_son
oh god fried chicken? had that been their choice, I'd have flat-out vetoed it or in asking ideas said "anything but..." I'm good at it, but oy such a mess.

Why it's great: "Better than my morning coffee!" one reader said of this refreshing, rosemary-scented eye cream. Readers agree that this "truly amazing" product "eliminates the bags and puffiness in the under-eye area" and completely gets rid of milia, which are small white bumps that can form around the eye, sometimes due to years of sun damage.
Many readers found that the product is less effective for wrinkles and dark circles, and instead works simply to smooth and energize skin. "This cream does not get rid of dark circles under the eyes. But, the skin around my eyes feels so fresh and velvety smooth whenever I apply it," one reader summed up. Bottom line? The product smells incredible, smooths the under-eye area, and makes users feel super-refreshed. If you're looking for dark circle repair, save your $50. Otherwise, give it a go!

I think it comes down to "what you put in your body" as well.

It is what you put in your body. Taking care of yourself is very important.

If Chip Kelly Leaves, Mark Helfrich Is in Line for Oregon Job
1/3/13 in NCAAF | Tyler_Waddell | 426 respect
According to USA Today, sources confirm that Oregon would stay in-house and could possibly hire Helfrich within 72 hours of Kelly's departure.
Helfrich does not call Oregon's plays, but has been Kelly's right-hand man since brought into the system in 2008. He is a huge part of the offensive game plan and knows the playbook in-and-out.
Still, losing Kelly's innovative offensive mind would be a huge blow to the program. Since he was hired in 2009, Oregon is 45-7 (33-3 Pac-12) and has made an appearance in a BCS bowl every year, including the 2010 national championship.
The Ducks have averaged 44.9 points per game during his four-year tenure.
Kelly is scheduled to interview with the Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles. Oregon plays Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl tonight at 8 p.m. ET.

Alumni Achievements
Andy Throgmorton, '11
Majors: Computer Science
Current Position: Throgmorton is a software engineer for NetApp, in Raleigh-Durham, N.C. He is responsible for ensuring that NetApp's software products perform well under rigorous loads.
Why Whitworth? "I remember liking the idea of a small school, as well as a student body and faculty that have a devotion to Christ. Mainly, I remember being stressed out by applications and praying it would all work out for me. A week into my first semester, I knew I had made a great choice."
Whitworth Activities: Played various intramurals, worked as the computer science lab manager, was a radio deejay and was president of the Association for Computing Machinery Club.
Influential Whitworth Professor "Pete Tucker taught many of my computer science classes, and I conducted research with him the summer after my sophomore year. Pete had previously worked for Microsoft, and he helped design a seminal course on software testing at the undergrad level. Since not many other undergrad programs have such a course, the knowledge I gained from that coursework really helped set me apart from other candidates during job interviews."
Influential Whitworth Experience: "I studied abroad twice while at Whitworth. My most influential experience was our trip across India, led by Kent Jones of the CS department. Many of my co-workers at NetApp work in Bangalore, India; knowing a little bit about their society and heritage goes a long way in my day-to-day interactions with them."
Career Goals: "I'll be quite happy if in 20 or 30 years I'm still doing some fun technical work while still having the freedom, ability and passion to learn new things."
Here's what some other recent Whitworth graduates are doing with their math & computer science degrees:

Women's basketball drops game at #20 Oklahoma State
By HEATHER KENNEDY
STILLWATER, Okla. – Facing the No. 20 team in the nation, the Northern Colorado women's basketball team put up a great fight, but eventually lost 87-51 to Oklahoma State in front of 2,260 people on Saturday afternoon at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Junior center Stephanie Lee (Casper, Wyo.) led the Bears (1-2) with 14 points and tied her career-high with four steals. Freshman Amy Kidner (Perth, Western Australia) continued the strong start to her collegiate career, scoring 12 points – including the first triple in the Blue & Gold. Sophomore Jamie Derrieux (Grand Junction, Colo.) was the third Bear in double figures in scoring, adding 10 and she led the club with a career-high tying four assists.
Both Derrieux and junior guard Lindsay Mallon (Lone Tree, Colo.) led the club with five rebounds.
"I really thought we did a good job of getting the ball inside," Head Coach Jaime White said. "Early in the first half if we would have hit some of those inside shots that we make all the time, we may have hung with them more."
Four Cowgirls (3-0) scored in double figures to remain undefeated on the young season. Tiffany Bias led the way with 18 and seven assists and four different players had five rebounds.
In the early going, the Bears hung tough, as Kidner scored on a layup with 15:32 to play to knot the score at 6-6 and the team took the first lead of the day on a three-pointer by Mallon at the 14:48 mark for the 9-6 advantage. A layup by senior forward Molly Duehn (Burnsville, Minn.) at the 12:48 point gave the team its final lead of the afternoon as OSU went on a 12-0 run to open up a 20-11 advantage and never looked back.
Kidner was a big reason for the Bears early success as 10 of her career-high 12 points came in the first half.
"Amy came in and was physical and aggressive," White said. "She played hard and that created some opportunities for her to get to the rim to get her shot off. I love her coming off the bench – she does a good job and in every game she's come off the bench and right away done something really well so we're going to continue to look to her and hope she can continue to come along as a newcomer. It takes a little while to get your feet wet, but I think she's doing a good job."
Twelve of the 13 active players on the team played at least five minutes in the game as Coach White still works on her rotations in the early going.
The Bears now return home for one game against Adams State on Wednesday inside Butler-Hancock before concluding the month of November at UTEP the following Wednesday. Both games are scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m.

Of course youre able to go on stage Chris I dont mind if my fav musicians getting bald or anything C: maybe it fits him x3
And that's where you'll find me. See you there.
Adios amigo.
So where are we heading, you and I? Marooned on the island called, Reality? Where will we reach in the end? Will we survive the frequent tsunamis of disappointed dreams or will Reality get washed over by it, yet again. Will it be where we 'want' to reach or where we are 'supposed' to reach? I don't doubt the powers of fate but neither do I accept them . But when we do reach the end, I hope when I look back, I see light. Even if it's a bleak ray of it. Ahead, I don't care what it might be. All I wish is not to be wrapped in darkness before I'm set free.
|Arnold Bennett
"You can't leave footprints in the sands of time if you're sitting on your butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?" ~Bob Moawad
Its like I am on 'Who wants to be a millionaire?!' (Anil Kapoor style). Life altering questions stare blankly at me. But there's a difference. All the options, are blank , and only one of the 'blank options' is right. What, I see a frown there? Don't over think or try analyzing it. For what you see, is the story of my life.
Now finishing school, I find myself introspecting on almost everything. Life, love, lust, work, me, people around me, my past, present & most importantly the future. Yes, I am quite well acquainted with the quotation - "Live in the moment". As a kid, I would be baffled by it, thinking how could one not live in the moment. Unless one was taking about time travelling, but that was a different hypothesis all together. Now, life seems like dead meat. School's finally over. Future then was definite. The world was literally my oyster. I could think of my future in a million and one possibilities and was confident about attainting them. Now, even one possibility seems enough to hold my confidence together. The question which so troubles me is - What will happen to my life? Will the future hold the various opportunities I wish to seize? My rationale mocks me, says that it's stupid to dwindle on the maybe(s) of life. Yet my heart wades through the ocean of despair and suspense. I find my life morphing into a piece of clay molded by so many parameters. What I fear the most, is the fear of losing control over my life, my emotions, my thoughts, my independence & most importantly my freedom. I don't want to succumb to the parameters of life. NO! I want to be that 5 year old kid who stands in front of the candy shop and takes her own sweet time to choose a candy according to her choice. Now I am just being kiddish, ain't I? I know I am. Life's not a fairy tale and even if it were, I did have to either eat a poisoned apple or get locked up in terror tower before living my happy ending. The cold truth slaps me to realization. The realization that I have to go through the grind. A futile question urges - Why, why me? But that's the case with everybody, right? Jumping from ridiculous to ludicrous questions, I ask- Why I even had to be born a human being?! Futile, mind numbing questions hover around me as doubt inundates my hope, drowning it. My confidence bleeds but my beacon of determination holds on, reminding me of my childhood promise to myself to never ever ever give up.
Somewhere in the back of my mind I hear my rationale, having a hearty laugh…
I wasn't ready. Not yet. I just wanted to stand and just be there. I looked around, the place reminiscent of a memory I had deliberately tampered with. It was too harsh a memory to remember. Then I saw her, right in front of me, her tears frozen to her cheeks. Her weary eyes searching desperately for a consoling lie. She looked towards me, and looked right through me. The eerie realisation dawned, but I shrugged it off. I saw the familiar blue train, chugging silently over the dilapidated bridge, its sound carried by the temperamental wind. The air redolent of liliacs, made the scenery nothing more than unsettling. Then I saw the box similar to my mother's, in it I saw…me. Lying there, idle. If only it were a dream. Then he came, cloaked in black . It was time he whispered, like he didn't want her to hear. I looked around, the sound of the pleading engines now reverberating in my mind. I closed my eyes like I did the last time. Only now it was, for the last time.
Rolling over the brittle tracks,
Twilight of life dawning now.
Memories deliberately tampered with,
Shattering memories, unforgotten.
Searching for a consoling lie,
Rummaging redundant truths for certainity.
Requite for the priceless loss,
Stolen childhood, misplaced youth.
Sliding over,
inches from Death's arms,
Running away,
Only to escape into dreaded mortality.
Old words resounding,
Cobweb of morbidity entrapping.
Heart-ship now sinking,
the anchor piercing.
Into and away,
Sliding inches from death's arms,
Into the miasmatic truth,
fading away.
End of the ride,
Wavering at the blurred edge of life.
Survival once a choice, now a brutal burden.
Dependency of another life,
Snatched the only freedom.
Flying through the pipe, into a reverie,
refuging in forgotten dreams, broken mirages,
home unseen,
Transcending into the relinquished pipe dream.
I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord
Are we human or are we dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancers?
~ by The Killers
Though I am hopeless when it comes to rhyming but this poem framed in my mind by itself while studying for an exam! The extent my mind can go to escape studies….
Anyway not deviating, this is a poem about a few things I did like to do. Just an amateur shot at poetry. So hope ya like it! :)
Before i die,
I wanna sky-dive,
Poke a bee-hive,
and then run for my life!
Watch Gaga and Coldplay, play'ng live.
Sing songs loud on the giant wheel,
Take an under water ferry through the Seven Seas,
See Sherlock's home on the 22nd Baker's Street,
Fly to Neverland with Peter Pan and Wendy,
Jump up high on a trampoline,
Win 1 million dollar lottery,
Fly to Neverland with Peter Pan and Wendy!
Stick a bubble gum on the Bubble Gum Alley,
Go to Las Vegas and gamble a rich man's money!
But at the end of my life,
All i wanna say,
Hakuna Matata!
And keep ur worries at bay.
And i could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well that's where i belong
And you belong with me.
The streets you're walking on,
A thousand houses long,
Well, that's where I belong,
And you belong with me.
Now the sky could be blue, I don't mind,
Without you it's a waste of time.
Could be blue, I don't mind,
Without you, it's a waste of sky.
Could be blue, could be grey,
Without you I'm just miles away.
Could be blue, I don't mind,
Without you it's a waste of sky.
~ Coldplay
…….And there were pieces of paper everywhere. She squealed with joy as she tore the pages and threw the pieces up in the air. The moment of freedom had finally arrived! A torn piece candidly landed on her shoulder. She looked at it, frowned for a moment and recognised what seemed to be an integration formula hurriedly scribbled in black ink. She chuckled to herself relieved from the fact that she wouldn't have to see it ever again. Her wish was fulfilled ,the Arithmophobic finally had- the Last Laugh.
This poem basically reflects my anxiety and apprehensions because of the unrealistically high cut-offs of colleges at DU.
I wonder about the future,
On what it might be,
Of reality i hope,
Is the way I wish to see.
The clock ticks on,
Reminder of every second gone.
I wanna go back to sleep,
Or into a well really deep.
But there's no use of all such ponder,
When no such thing can occur.
For now, I have to go,
Even though my hope's low.
Have to keep myself optimistic,
Brace myself for the unknown.

Jack Levine was born on December 15, 1907, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received his A.B. degree with honors in Mathematics and Physics from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1929, and then spent a year there as an Assistant Professor in Mathematics. He attended Princeton University in 1930, and received his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1934, during which time he was also a part-time instructor. From 1935 to 1936 he was an instructor in mathematics at North Carolina State College. From 1936 to 1939 he served as Assistant Professor, and from 1939 to 1946 as Associate Professor. In 1946 he was appointed a full Professor and served in that capacity until 1976. He continued to teach part time until 1995.
Levine served as Technical Sergeant in the Second Signal Service Battalion of the Signal Corps from 1943 to 1945. In 1946 he was awarded the Legion of Merit Award for his outstanding service with the Army Security Agency. In 1970 Dr. Levine received an Outstanding Teacher Award at North Carolina State University. He was a member of several honorary and professional organizations, including Pi Mu Epsilon, Sigma Xi, American Mathematical Society, Mathematical Association of America, American Society for Engineering Education, and Phi Kappa Phi.
Still active in research after his retirement, his areas of interest included tensor analysis, geometrics of generalized spaces, differential geometry, combinatorial analysis, theory of symmetric functions, algebraic cryptography and mathematical physics. In addition to over one hundred research papers, Levine also published several books, including a definitive four-volume work on pattern word lists used in cryptography and a comprehensive compilation of United States cryptographic patents, 1861-1981.
Levine was also an avid reader, especially of mystery books. He was a life member of the Friends of the Library at North Carolina State University. In 1987 he donated a collection of over 1,500 mystery books to D. H. Hill library at North Carolina State University. In 1992 he donated an additional 665 titles to the collection.
This collection contains materials related to Levine's research interests, as well as those documenting his publications and university career. Correspondence includes letters about general cryptography, articles written by Levine and others, Levine's cryptographic patents book, and cryptographic computer tests. Research contains notes, computer printouts, article reprints, and note cards related to Levine's research interests in cryptography. Writings includes Levine's published and unpublished essays and pamphlets. Teaching Career includes class notes and other student-related material. Collected Works includes articles, books, and bibliographic information of other authors in the fields of mathematics and cryptography. Unprocessed Material contains copies of articles and publications on cryptography. Most of the materials are from Levine's lifetime, but some of the items in the Collected Works series are from as early as 1716.
The collection is organized into five series: Correspondence, Research, Writings, Teaching Career, and Collected Works. Original order has been preserved as much as possible.
This series includes correspondence about general cryptography, articles written by Levine and others, Levine's cryptographic patents book, and cryptographic computer tests. Major correspondents include Joel Brawley, Michael Willet, Louis Kruh, and
This series is broken down into four subseries: Notes, Computer Printouts, Notecards, and Reprints.

Pears and Apples
Pears and Apples
Pears and apples are high in water content. Eat them with the peels for extra fiber, which will keep you full longer. It is recommended that you eat whole fruits rather than fruit juice. Not only do you get more fiber, you have to chew the fruits. This takes longer and requires some exertion. You actually burn a few calories chewing, as opposed to gulping down a smoothie.
I like to can my apples and pears together in small jars with very light syrup and cinnamon. They are easy to travel, already portioned and naturally sweet.
There are so many different varieties of apples and pears that even if you are eating them organically in-season, you can easily get them all year long.
- Try slicing them into small pieces and skewering them with cheese as a healthy snack that's filling and fun
- Apples and pears are both tasty grilled, too. They make a tasty topper for burgers when you grill them together.
- For another to-go snack. put a small bit of peanut-butter into the corner of a sandwich bag and tie it off. Pack this in with some apple or pear slices and when you're ready, just cut the corner of the PB bag to spread without the mess.
How do you like your apples? Leave your answer in the comments section below, I always like new ideas.

Auburn safety Demetruce McNeal was dismissed from the team following his arrest on a marijuana possession charge.
Coach Gus Malzahn announced the decision Saturday after meeting with McNeal.
Online jail records Saturday show McNeal was jailed on $500 bond, along with former Auburn players Jonathan Evans and Jawara White.
Officials with the Lee County jail and Sheriff's department declined to release any information on the arrests or whether the three had posted bond.
McNeal was second on the team with 90 tackles last season.
McNeal missed some practices during the spring for personal reasons. He returned Monday after recovering from a staph infection that Malzahn said required surgery.
Former starting quarterback Kiehl Frazier moved to safety earlier in the week after getting overtaken on the depth chart.

destination: Book Court, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, NY
mileage: 3.5 miles
Pandora: Beach House (not too impressive for running)
My first night time destination run. I ran through park slope, the surprisingly romantic gowanus canal, carroll gardens and finally, cobble hill.
The run itself was pretty smooth. I usually have trouble breathing on runs (a problem that has been going on for years) but in the brisk fall evenings, it seems to be somewhat less challenging.
It was so nice to visit my favorite bookstore on such a beautiful night. Cobble hill is a magical place in general and made even better by small local businesses like Book Court. A family owned bookstore with an extensive collection from local publishers. Its one of those places that makes you want to buy everything and spend the next year, curled up in bed with a warm tea and a new book. After perusing the spirituality section (Its like an addiction of mine) and eyeing a few must-remember christmas gifts, I checked out the memoir section. My rule these days is that I won't buy something unless it feels "right," like, no hesitation, this fits in my life type of feeling. So when i saw Harry Belafonte's memoir it sung out to me. I had been listening to his "Calypso" record earlier in the day, which is amazing by the way. Mr. Belafonte is an inspiration and i look forward to learning more about his political influence over the years. "Day-O" alone is reason enough to worship the ground he walks on, and thanks to the genius of "Beetlejuice," suburbanites like myself are hip to the legend.
No coffee on this run. But a noble destination either way.

Women have continued to be involved in the creation and advancement of civilization throughout history, whether you know it or not. Pick anything—a technology, a science, an art form, a school of thought—and start digging into the background. You'll find women there, I guarantee, making critical contributions and often inventing the damn shit in the first place.
Women have made those contributions in spite of astonishing hurdles. Hurdles like not being allowed to go to school. Hurdles like not being allowed to work in an office with men, or join a professional society, or walk on the street, or own property. Example: look up Lise Meitner some time. When she was born in 1878 it was illegal in Austria for girls to attend school past the age of 13. Once the laws finally eased up and she could go to university, she wasn't allowed to study with the men. Then she got a research post but wasn't allowed to use the lab on account of girl cooties. Her whole life was like this, but she still managed to discover nuclear fucking fission. Then the Nobel committee gave the prize to her junior male colleague and ignored her existence completely.
Men in all patriarchal civilizations, including ours, have worked to downplay or deny women's creative contributions. That's because patriarchy is founded on the belief that women are breeding stock and men are the only people who can think. The easiest way for men to erase women's contributions is to simply ignore that they happened. Because when you ignore something, it gets forgotten. People in the next generation don't hear about it, and so they grow up thinking that no women have ever done anything. And then when women in their generation do stuff, they think 'it's a fluke, never happened before in the history of the world, ignore it.' And so they ignore it, and it gets forgotten. And on and on and on. The New York Times article is a perfect illustration of this principle in action.
Finally, and this is important: even those women who weren't inventors and intellectuals, even those women who really did spend all their lives doing stereotypical "women's work"—they also built this world. The mundane labor of life is what makes everything else possible. Before you can have scientists and engineers and artists, you have to have a whole bunch of people (and it's usually women) to hold down the basics: to grow and harvest and cook the food, to provide clothes and shelter, to fetch the firewood and the water, to nurture and nurse, to tend and teach. Every single scrap of civilized inventing and dreaming and thinking rides on top of that foundation. Never forget that."

Do you think about me now and then?
I'm making a little list of scary stuff for those who don't want to sleep tonight. No [untagged] jumpscares, promise.
Let us start with the most popular scary stories which actually had an impact, though small, on me and my iron nerves:
Goatman, Autopilot, Psychosis,Lightning, Penpal Series, Bloodworth Saga, Candle Cove, 10:00, Boothworld, The Smiling Man, NoEnd House, Fog, You Won't Hear About This One on The News, Follow The Arrows
Short Stories: x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x
Short Horror Films: Mockingbird, Lights Out, Bedfellows, Jack, Red Balloon, Easter Bunny, Luna, Viral, The Smiling Man, Internet Story
Interactive Stories: Annie96 is typing, My Fathers Long, Long, Legs, thisman.org
Comics: His Face All Red, Junji Ito Masterpost, Ibitsu, Plastic Girl, and finally [EPILEPSY WARNING] Bongcheon-Dong Ghost and Ok-su Station Ghost

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
AND FINALLY.. The Kimberly Story.
Careful with this one, as it's been reported that weird things happen while and after reading this. You can find testimonials of it's creepy after-effects here and here. The scariest follow-up stories are this one and this one.
It's like even if it doesn't scare you. you're fucked. It's not even a great story, but it left me feeling awfully uneasy for some reason I still don't quite understand. Stay safe and have fun!
