In the spirit of posting doodles, I made this when I worked with Alex on Cas9 projects.

Tulip Season
I went to Filoli for a work outing. In the gardens, we were suppose to paint yellow tulips under crisp blue skies.
Here’s my rendition:
I haven’t painted since I was a youngin’. It was fun.
A Very Sir Rice Mushroom
Harry and I saw a mushroom plushie that reminded us of Sir Rice’s drawings.
Harry said it would be more “Sir Rice” if it had brains.
Truffles
I’ve always wanted to try some truffles.
They’re this mysterious food touted by NY food bloggers.
And now I’ve had some!
The flavor was similar to truffle oil’s but much more subtle and earthier.
I now understand the flavor that truffle oil tries to imitate (truffle oil isn’t made from truffles).
Neat!
Pick n Pull
A couple weeks ago, Eli took us on a tour of the local Pick-n-Pull.
It was a really neat place where folks go to salvage car parts.
Cars in various states of disrepair lined up neatly in rows. There was even an app to help locate specific models!
We saw cars in all sorts of configurations and had fun speculating the causes of damages.
I wish I knew more about cars.
It would’ve been neat to recognize the missing pieces.
Experiments in the Revival of Organisms
I was reading a paper on brain refrigeration when Harry mentioned this experiment to me:
What was surprising was the dog was ischemic for 10 minutes! I would’ve thought brain swelling would’ve kicked in and prevented recirculation. This is fascinating.
Thanksgiving Dinner Round 2
Harry and I just moved to a beautiful new apartment and we decided to have friends over for a mid-December Thanksgiving dinner.
We got wonderfully scented flowers from the local farmer’s market.
Harry made lasagna as well as other tasty comfort foods.
It was great having everyone over. We felt very adult.
More dinners to come!
