Jennifer had to make another emergency trip to the barn this week because her horse was choking again. Not surprisingly since it practically inhales it’s food. Her friend Liz came up on Friday to perform some dental wizardry on the horse so hopefully he’ll chew his food a little better before swallowing.
I have been exceptionally busy in the lab this past week trying to get some great results for my conference in Toronto next week. As well as crafting an updated resume for the career night that kick starts the conference. It gives students a chance to mingle with government and industry leaders in the natural sciences over wine and hors d'oeuvres.
I have also started my guitar lessons this past week. I have been wanting to take my guitar playing to the next level so the lessons will run over ten weeks introducing me to some more advanced playing techniques. First order of business is changing the strings which I’ll be doing after I finish this blog.
I made tempura cod and chips this evening. The batter was delicious and browned nicely but it stuck to everything. Unfortunately the fish broke apart in my overzealous efforts to dislodge it from the steel mesh of the deep fryer basket. It ended up being more like fish hash ‘n chips. It still tasted good with my homemade tartar sauce. I also made gnocchi this week which was fairly labour intensive. It may not have been as pretty as the gnocchi you get at an Italian restaurant but we both agreed it was very good.
We are looking forward to seeing Jen’s Mom this week who is stopping in for a few days. It seems that whenever one of Jen’s family or friends stops by I am either leaving for a conference or tied-up with lab work. Oh well. It will all be done soon.
