Ricotta Matcha loaf turned out beautifully. Featured here with some jasmine tea.

In other news, I haven’t been posting much because I have had pneumonia since August 10th. On round two of antibiotics. Yaaaaaay 🫠

Ricotta match bread dough! Such a beautiful green color.

May I suggest the name Mò (pronounce “Moe”), the Chinese word for ink sticks used in traditional calligraphy.

That Flicker knows how to chill out

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Leafy rosette galls on an oak

Stem galls on an oak

Fuzzy galls on an oak

Hackberry leaf gall (the more descriptive name for this gall is NSFW so I can leave it up to your imagination).

A collection of #plant galls from my walk today

Today’s sick day #boardgame is Century: Spice Road

Happy #caterday from Zuko, who will not be sharing his dynamite kick stick with you.

Please tell Borne there that his Mord Proxie disguise could use some work 😅

Came home to a poor sick child, so the answer is #boardgames. Today’s choice is the family version of Isle of Cats.

Heading home from #plantbio2025 today and I was sent this perfectly innocent photo of my cat

Cat: doing perfectly regular cat things

Me: I love him so much

My undergrads and I second Purple Door Ice Cream as an excellent #plantbio2025 treat!

Proud of my intrepid undergraduates for presenting their work at #plantbio2025

In Milwaukee for #PlantBio2025

Ugh, I’m so sick of this narrative. People who don’t play video games just tend to fill that space up with mindless TV watching. And a lot of gamers I know have partners that also love video games so they have plenty to talk about.
