Masters in pun administration

R asked Y for advice on business school applications and recommendations.

De pung museum

S: Where is the Koret Auditorium?

M: I think it's near the north entrance of the museum.

S: That is koret.

La même crème

(Author's note: you make crème fraîche by stirring 1 tbsp yogurt into a pint of cream and letting it sit overnight.  If you already have creme fraiche, you can use 1 tbsp of that as a starter culture instead of buying yogurt.)

S:  Looks like I'm going to need most of the crème fraîche for this recipe.
J:  Okay, well just leave a couple tablespoons so I can start a new batch.
S:  Okay.
J:  Or just use it all!  It's not too hard to start fraîche!

Practically another Market Street

B: We can go to the deli on the corner of 19th & Guerrero for lemons, but if they don't have any, we can go to the store on the corner of 20th & Valencia. Do you know that they're owned by the same family?
M: Wow, the owner has really cornered the market.

That socks

A: Oh shoot! I just got a hole in my favorite pair of socks!
B: Darn it.

Makes my tummy feel offal

I:  I feel bad eating chicken hearts, because when I get six on a plate, I know that six chickens died for my meal.
S:  Do you feel the same way about eating twelve chicken wings?
I:  No...  I don't know why I don't have the same visceral reaction.

Wino

S sent over this fun wine article.

"For that matter, if fruit flavors are the preference of the masses, how has the grassy smack of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc come to such favor? Is it a Trojan horse for flavor haters to spread their fruitless message?"
