I dream someday
that this sad excuse for a blog will blossom into a food/photography blog that
depicts my cooking, travels, and love for the little things in life. As a full

posts have been sporadic and disjunctive, lacking the wholeness and flow I
strive for.
Regardless
of the content that is lacking, there are little things that excite me and that
I feel the urge to write about or photograph. Recently I made cookies for my
friend Mike’s birthday and was quite pleased with how they turned out! He is a
graduate student who was my Microbiology Lab T.A. in the fall, and then was
kind enough to take me under his wing and allow me to work with him in his
research lab. We manipulate bacterial genetics in order to discover the
function and importance of a competition-oriented family of membrane proteins,
so I thought it would only be suiting to make him microbio cookies:

If Biology
was your thing, you’d need no explanation or caption, almost like an inside

frosted shapes are probably just “cute”, and quite frankly, I agree!
If only all science could be this fun!
