DC's Stand Up for Science was excellent! Bill Nye the Science Guy was there. The weather was perfect and I swear I was wearing shorts under my fabulous lab-coat!

My amazing wife is on a call with Indivisible. She's organizing a group here in upper NW DC. I could not be prouder! So, I cooked dinner. Cajun catfish with turnip greens and Brussel's sprouts. There was a lot of bacon grease involved!

Fish tacos make everything better. So do caipirinhas, and notes from dear friends that make you tear up. 🥹

Stress cooking. Boneless ribeye with roasted sprouts, onion, and red potatoes; served with carrot and mushrooms poached in butter. Bordeaux. Turned out OK, but there was definitely room for improvement.

Caesar salad with grilled shrimp. Science is the first demonstration that non-human apes can respond to the "state of mind," of a human partner. Bonobos behave differently when their human partner doesn't vs does know where a treat is hidden. They help when the partner doesn't. Link in comments.

Lovely evening at Chez C&C. Matthew is visiting. Chicken shawarma, hummus, and pickled veggies with pita. A gorgeous night with the moon and venus(?). Stay strong folks. The bastards are all around us.

Cooking as therapy. Shrimp and pork meatballs in scallions, fish sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil in a stir fry with lo mein (chickpea pasta), bokchoy, red pepper, ginger and garlic. Sauce was soy, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, lime juice and cornstarch. G'nite y'all. We live to fight another day!

Salad of friseé with tomatoes, red onion, avocado and cucumber. Easy vinaigrette. The main course was a "Tuscan salmon," cooked in shallot, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and cream. Italian red. Stay sane y'all.
