don’t usually put much effort into plating but thought it’d be fun to play around tonight with this garlic herb lamb and mint yogurt sauce
A white dinner plate with lemon decoration on a wooden table. Plated on the plate is a lamb chop with a bit of roasted garlic and mint in the center of the thick portion. Opposite the chop is a dollop of mint yogurt sauce that curves and thins in the same manner but opposite to the lamb chops

never posted the summer veggie gnocchi from that first harvest — here it is with this week’s complement of zucchini turned into bolognese boats
A skillet on a stove with chopped red onions and golden cherry tomatoes. Next to it on the counter is a cutting board with chopped zucchini. A closeup of a bowl of gnocchi. It is saucy and herby and there are burst cherry tomatoes in it. Two plates of zucchini boats on a black skillet on a wooden table. They are filled with bolognese and topped with browned cheese and basil.

EMBO really loves these hideous AI images
Screenshot of a link to an EMBO meeting on intercellular mechanics and organelle mecha philology. The image is of a blue ball with weird raised spots, floating mitochondria, and weird metal-looking lines interspersed with gears. It’s completely nonsensical and has no intentionality to its aesthetic

my dog is a russell terrier/golden retriever/sheepdog mix who can open doors, climb trees, jump up to knock food out of people’s hands, and has pulled loaves of bread off the counter and eaten them in their entirety. she cannot be controlled, just bargained with.
A brown and black dog biting a fluffy toy. Her face is scrunched up with the power of her bite and she looks directly at the camera with foreboding in her eyes. A brown and black dog who has jumped up on a bar chair and is trying to pull a loaf of bread onto the ground. She was stopped this time but succeeded once there were no witnesses. A brown and black dog standing in the crook of large tree branches. Her tongue is hanging out in satisfaction. A brown and black dog floats in the middle of a pool on a flamingo floaty. She is the master of her fate, the captain of her soul.

little cutie stopped by the yard tonight — pretty glad we check the yard before letting the dogs out or bedtime would probably be ruined 😅
A backyard illuminated by two small solar powered lamps and a flashlight. In the center of the flashlight’s light is a skunk with its head buried in the grass eating. The same scene, this time with a phone camera flash instead of a flashlight beam.

out of focus tanagers from my grand canyon trip.
A red summer tanager in a tree. It is slightly out of focus, which is more on the leaves in front of it. A yellow and black western tanager behind leaves in a tree. The leaves are in better focus than the bird.

herps from my recent grand canyon trip.
A spiny lizard on the ground facing three-quarters view. Its forelimb is resting on a small stick with its digits spread like it’s laying claim to it. A spiny lizard with a red head resting on red rocks. It’s body is oriented away from the camera but its head is facing to the side and it looks toward the camera with one eye. A whiptail lying in the sand. It is facing to the side so it’s length is fully visible. One forelimb is in the process of taking a step forward. A toad hiding in the shadow of a ledge.

adventure is out there!
Me at the end of a path, looking over my shoulder. I’m wearing hiking pants and a sunshirt/sun hat. One one side of the path is cliff face, on the other are palm trees Me standing ankle-deep in a creek bed wearing hiking/sun clothing. Behind me on either side are the walls of the Grand Canyon. There is greenery along the creek and the sky framed by cliffs is blue with fluffy clouds View of me from behind as I cross a wooden plank that stretches over a gully. I am walking into dense bushes of vines. In front of me, the walls of the Grand Canyon converge in the distance Me climbing up a steep rock wall as seen from below. Two chains are anchored to either side of the chute-like climb. I am using the chains to haul myself up to my next foothold.

one of the university comms offices was doing some filming in our lab yesterday and the videographer said I had one of the most visually appealing benches he’d ever seen ☺️😌
My bench at work. Everything on it is arranged in rainbows, from my tube holders to my pipette tips to my label tape. It is all neatly aligned in rows and stacks.

can somebody who doesn’t live in a mets blackout region explain what the hell happened in this game that google’s scorecard looks like it came from a bowling alley????
