Vancouver

Well I hadn't planned on going to the Vancouver Society of Zoologists conference but apparently Dr. Lee wants me to present my findings to a wide audience. So from May 16-23 I will be in Vancouver. I am excited about going to Vancouver but I will be presenting in front of 200 people so I have a daunting amount of work for the next couple weeks. The conference will be held on the UBC campus and I will be staying in campus residence. I will unfortunately be missing Jennifer's friends (Becky) visit.

In other news, there are still two left in the great graduate beard off. I however, do not miss mine at all. It was too itchy and scratchy. Although many people commented that it suited me well.

Jenn and I are heading out for blizzard's this afternoon despite the fact that it has gotten a little chillier today (only a high of 12 degrees). It is buy one, get the second for 25 cents. I plan on having mint oreo.

I have been using the slow cooker a lot lately. Unfortunately I made a mistake in my last recipe; shrimp chowder. I planned to halve the recipe but I forgot to halve the cream cheese. Too thick and rich. Oh well.  I have a weekend of meals planned starting tomorrow (Teriyaki pork roast, southern spaghetti sauce and spicy lemon chicken). I will let you know how they all turn out.
