Graduation cap tassels:)
Awesome

[Matt]

Yeah, those are more of a spring item.  I would have thought IH pencil cases for fall.

@Graham:

That caught my eye, too. Green ombré UHF, I assume?

[Giles]

For SS?

[popvulture]

Would definitely wear that.

[Giles]

Some stuff that @Alex and I did not eat tonight….....

[popvulture]

I'd probably go for all of that, minus the rare chicken. Hard nope on that one.

"Entrails" is an unfortunate translation

[dinobarnesberlin]

Anything having to do with education at any time of the year and im all over it.

Or there is the universal answer that can end any

conversation– " yea but still "

[dinobarnesberlin]

Love it that H has been putting out some fantastic Ombre 's lately

[tody]

@Giles:

For SS?

Haven't seen anything from FW yet, so I was assuming something in the likes of the 264/265 UHF.
If it's SS then it may be a successor to the 316/317 9oz?

[Giles]

We had loads of raw chicken…..

[Giles]

My kind of pour.  Japan, what's not to love…...

[Alex]

@popvulture:

minus the rare chicken. Hard nope on that one.

Why?

[goosehd]

From the U.S. CDC: In fact, about 1 in every 25 packages of chicken at the grocery store are contaminated with Salmonella…

[Matt]

We were raised to fear raw chicken like we were raised to fear strangers in windowless vans with candy and puppies.

Honestly, I’d rather get abducted than have food poisoning.

[popvulture]

Haha yeah we’re most certainly conditioned to deeply fear raw chicken here. I have friends who wash it with soap and water before cooking (I don’t go that far, but it still gives me the heebie jeebies).

@goosehd:

It’s fairly well documented that American meat processing is subpar. I’m not surprised that that is the case in the USA.

E.coli is often linked to leafy greens in American (and UK for that matter) supermarkets, does that mean we should stop eating salad too?

[goosehd]

Matt said it best, we are instilled from a very young age to be wary of raw chicken.  That’s a hard thing to break and it’s almost like a fear of snakes or spiders.

Re: greens I’m wary of that too…if in doubt we rinse it or toss it.  Probably unjustified but the thought of severe abdominal cramps and everything that goes with it does not sound like fun…
