So much chili

So much ground beef... almost five pots full

The second biograds event of the year was a success...a much bigger one than we had anticipated! We had 5 crock pots of chili and we sold it ALL. Every last bit of salad, chili, garlic bread and watermelon was gone! That means we have NO food left from the Welcome back BBQ. We also brought in over 100$ from the sales of chili, so that gets us out of debt..with some extra profit to spare! I watched the start of my friend Sarah's EEB, but quickly realized we left the entire chili mess on our lab table, where our lab meeting was taking place at 2:30. I lost track of time and tried to make it to the "job talk"  by Allyson Hindle but was too late and it was packed. So instead, I figured I would try to get some work done.

My office became a restaurant kitchen today.

So many slow cookers

The finished product

I have been super tired lately. I made it to the gym this morning, but forgot my towels.. AGAIN. I swear if my head wasn't attached it wouldn't make a difference. So I splurged and spent 2.26 to rent one for the morning.


Now I am just waiting for the 'lab white board session' at 2:30 this afternoon. Should be interesting, and may pose some inspiration for a potential project for myself. The main point of the meeting is to introduce the undergrad thesis student to her project, which is very related to my MSc. She'll be looking at how community biomass is related to MPBS (maximum potential body size) and MRTS (minimum reproductive threshold size). She collected some plot data for that this past summer and will be using the MIN and MAX data that I spent the last few summers collecting. I am definitely excited to see how that turns out!


Just for fun.. a few cute pics.
