Today - last day before our week off Thanksgiving Break.

Each dot is an hour. We're not done for the day yet.
Values of the dots; 76, 59,77,72,56,64 books checked out per hour. Adds on 54 for the last hour.
Am up to 234 students and 21 students per school we serve, that have come into the library for books alone. ie. not research which we also have students in here for.

459 books checked out.

There are 17 school days after this before approx. half of our one school's pop goes onto a regular school. Stress trying to get their books back before they leave. Some will return to their home countries.

Broccoli Salad

This was served at a potluck at work, I think. The bacon was very finely diced, I suppose before cooking. Didn't notice the sunflower kernals or raisins, so those might have been omitted. Was good.

Broccoli Salad

Total Time:1 hr 20 min
Prep:15 min
Inactive:1 hr
Cook:5 min
Yield:10 servings


Ingredients
8 ounces bacon
Salt
5 cups small broccoli florets
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup sunflower kernels

Directions

Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat just until crisp; drain on paper towels.

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch until bright green and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Drain well, run under cold water to stop the cooking, and drain again.

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, onion, sugar and raisins. Add the broccoli and toss the coat with the dressing. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Just before servings, fold in the sunflower kernels and the bacon pieces. Serve immediately.
