As a first time Warden more or less mentoring a first time Inmate, there's this very important question that's been hovering menacingly near my head for the last few days like a demonic little helicopter and I would be remiss if I didn't at least ask it, even if I'm sure it's obvious to the more seasoned Wardens, Inmates, what have you.
...Is an Inmate's happiness more important than their graduation?
If you had to choose one, I mean.
And I think I should also ask to Inmates because I don't...like the unspoken divide and communication is usually an effective bridge over most divides..
What do you need from your warden to be happier?

Someone happened to tell me you're a dog person.
I'm trying to..rehome my dog, Digby. My Inmate is scared of them and it's probably best if Digby and I separated until my Inmate graduates. And I'd like to find someone to...borrow him, or take him, but if I don't find someone he'll have to go home and we've never been separated and I'm feeling a little...clingy.

[Private]
Date: 2013-05-02 05:01 am (UTC)So no. I say no to new.
[Private]
Date: 2013-05-02 10:12 pm (UTC)I think that's probably a very wise way of thinking.
So, you make pies?

Date: 2013-05-03 01:21 am (UTC)I tend to use gloves at certain...stages.

Date: 2013-05-03 01:23 am (UTC)What stages are there?
[Private]
Date: 2013-05-03 01:27 am (UTC)Make the filling - cut up the fresh fruit - and put it in over the bottom layer.
Layer over the top with more dough and bake.
It's...pretty standard, as far as kitchen tasks go.

Date: 2013-05-03 01:45 am (UTC)That...
...But how?
[Private]
Date: 2013-05-03 01:53 am (UTC)You have two main major ingredients in dough: flour and water. You can't just mix it; it has to be pushed and pulled and stretched so that it achieves elasticity. This is because the two proteins inside flour - glutenin and gliadin - need to interlock with water to form gluten, which is the molecule that gives dough its elasticity. And the way to interlock it is to physically push around the dough until the bonds between molecules become stronger and stronger.
