On a cold autumn night, nothing like white bean and pumpkin soup to warm you up! White beans, diced pumpkin, carrots, celery, minced ginger, coconut milk, curry paste, cumin, salt. Long beans and broccoli as side dishes. Recipe: cookeatlivelove.com/healthy-pump... #MTBoSCooks

After weeks of long discussinos, my colleague Larisa Bukalov and I finally submitted our proposals for @nctm.org 2026! We are really excited at the conference themes and came up with an interesting idea for a session. Hopefully you'll hear more about it next year! #NCTMDEN26

NYC GOP mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa drives slowly through Bayside with cars of supporters honking their horns. Note that many cars HAD LICENSE PLATES COVERED WITH TAPE. NYPD officers also provided a police escort and blocked traffic so the caravan could proceed.

So many good connections come from attending conferences like @nctm.org. Loved being with a community of math people like Lawrence Yu, Zi Chen, Zuobin Tang, Amy Hogan, and Ralph Pantozzi! #NCTMAtl25 #MTBoS

I can't believe that the @mathforamerica.bsky.social course that Larisa Bukalov and I will be teaching filled up in less than 2 hours! Looking forward to helping STEM teachers expand their influence in education this year! #MfAProud

Yesterday I made tofu with a five-spice sesame sauce, long beans and carrots, and Chinese broccoli. Tofu was coated in a cornstarch paste to make them crispy. The sauce was a mix of five-spice powder, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and water. I sprinkled sesame seeds on top as a garnish. #MTBoSCooks

In a post for Larry Ferlazzo's Classroom Q&A blog, Larisa Bukalov and I wrote about how David Sousa's book How the Brain Learns has influenced our math teaching. This book details how the latest neuroscience research should shape instruction. #MTBoS #ITeachMath lnkd.in/gbcR8S8h

Two days ago I made a lentil soup (with red lentils, carrots, apples, potatoes, cumin, salt, pepper, ginger), broccoli (with red peppers and pecans), and bok choi. I used the leftover soup as a sauce for naan pizzas (with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and mozzarella cheese) last night. 😋 #MTBoSCooks

Last week we went to Manhattan’s Chinatown. Dim sum on Mulberry St. was awesome. Visiting the Museum of Chinese in the Americas helped us reflect on Chinese American history, including a replica of a Chinese pharmacy, and plaques of important people and milestones. #miseducAsian

Yesterday I made a tofu bolognese (recipe at theplantbasedschool.com/tofu-pasta/). I separated the pasta and sauce because I had too much sauce. Yum! #MTBoSCooks
