While teaching "Being Human," the computer asked @profjoubin.bsky.social to prove my humanity in front of the class. The irony was not lost.

I concocted pho soup out of freshly squeezed lime juice, pork stock, beef stock, and pho stock, ginger, and cilantro. It's drizzled with scallions, hoisin and Srirarcha sauces. I did a quick stir fry of sliced Bavette steak with garlic. To the noodle soup I added some bok choy and Napa cabbage.
