(Hope it's okay that I answered publicly -- I think this might be one where the readership can be a resource, since I can't D: )

I'm afraid you've been led astray! My graduate thesis was for theatre, it was actually on masked performance in world cultures. I think you're thinking of my tumblr essay on canning, which unfortunately was just the result of being a super curious person who likes food and warned everyone ahead of time that he wouldn't be citing sources. I've often thought of doing that essay up as a book with historical sources and all, but the research is daunting (it involves a lot of quantitative measuring of non-quantitative stuff).

You can definitely do a doctorate in food history, but I'm afraid I don't know the best places to go to get one (much as I would LOVE TO myself). I would take a look at the authors of microhistories surrounding food -- "Cod" or "A History Of The World In Six Glasses" and similar -- and see where they went. Barring that, I'd look at doctoral programs where they have an explicit interest in fostering unusual research/study.

These are the jack-o-lanterns my son and I picked (but did not eat)

1. hi there! i read a fic where crowley was stabbed by a (cursed?) knife and tries to hide in a tree, while aziraphale tries to reason with him and help him. all the while crowley is delirious and panicked and thinks aziraphale is going to kill him on the spot. i can’t remember how it ends but it might have been crowley dying from his wound in the tree. thank you so much and keep up the amazing work! ~anon

2. Hey! I have this moment from a fic stuck in my head so I was wondering if you could help me find it. I just remember Aziraphale listening in while Crowley tucks in Warlock and he has him repeat that he will destroy all the Angel's when he comes to his full power except Brother Francis even though he will look different. Thanks for any help! ~anon

3. hi!! i've been looking for a fic where it follows crowley through history and different instances of him trying to tempt aziraphale. he starts out doing it for his own satisfaction/to prove that he can tempt and angel but eventually realizes he's in love w aziraphale. it's from crowley's perespective and it's SO GOOD but i can't find it :( thank u for the help!! ~anon

4. Hi! There was a fic I read a while ago, a human AU, but all I remember is Crowley captivated by Aziraphale’s braces and sock suspenders and wondering if he had some time of bondage fetish, but no, Aziraphale is just LIKE THAT. Thank you :) ~ @baconcupcake

5. Hi I was sent here after posting about trying to find a good omens story post on Tumblr. I'm hoping someone could help me? I posted about what I remember on my own Tumblr, but the gist was Aziraphale and Crowley meet and keep meeting a kid who shows autistic traits. Anyone recognize this? ~ @bohowolfwing
