That's My Name, Don't Wear It Out

My name is spelled differently than most Jeremys alive. I've never actually met another Jeramy, even though I've heard that they actually do exist. Needless to say that since kindergarten, I have been used to people spelling my name wrong. A lot of times people know I spell it differently, but they aren't sure exactly how. For Instance I have a relative who until a couple years ago spelled it Geremy. I've just kind of gotten used to it.

At work, we've decided to embrace my unique spelling. I normally sign e-mails to my boss JerAmy. This week I got a new name plate for the office that I share with my boss.

I still get teased about it though. As part of my Christmas gift, my boss got me a sticker of the letter E because my name was missing one.

 

 

This week I had a misspelling first. I got a certificate for participating in the Dean's Tutorial Society. Needless to say I have never had my named spelled like this before.

 

 



It doesn't really bother me anymore, I just thought this was too funny no to share. If I would get offended by this sort of thing, I would have lead a very bitter life up until this point.

Tastykakes R' Us

It was conference weekend, which normally involves some sort of special food. This time I decided to make something I found on Facebook. I was in luck because Tastykakes have recently arrived to Indiana.

1. Chop up the Tastykakes into quarters. Put all the pieces in the unbaked pie crust.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, cornmeal, vinegar, and vanilla until smooth.

3.Pour over the chopped up Tastykakes. Use a rubber spatula to prod the cakes, making sure all of the pieces are coated. Use the spatula to smooth down the top of the pie so that it's an even layer.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until golden brown on top. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

5.  Enjoy. It was really good. Not super sweet, but the flaky crust with the Tastykakes are a great combination. Well worth the time.
