How I started my journal entry on 17 January, 1979

“shah left Iran yesterday!”

I can’t believe I used only one exclamation point

Events of the week call for a favorite house cocktail: Negroni and The Goat

Recipe by chef Stephanie Izard, owner/chef of Chicago’s Girl & the Goat created for a Portland event a few years before I moved to this fair city

My mom’s olive oil cake smothered with whipped cream. Today is her birthday and the first one we are without her 💔

Miss her so much and think of her every single day (as I should ❤️) but grateful for all she taught me including how to make a proper whipped cream smothered cake

Again, Williams passed in October. Even if the assumption that he was taking the MH position was accurate, I am just wondering why the vacancy is no longer listed on NIH's site?

Happy last Friday before the solstice

Fall means leek season and my favorite rice dish - I use ample coconut oil to make a proper tahdeeg

Happy Friday friends. Despite all the wretched events of the week (and a powerful atmospheric river dump⛈️) , a magical sunset still happens in the beautiful Oregon coast 🙏

Send pictures from le louvre although I hear it may be securely locked

Witnessing the beauty of Oregon coast is truly humbling

Another beautiful sunset in the Oregon coast

But days are getting shorter

Winter is coming 😞

Not much new unless I am missing something. Seems like regurgitation of what we had heard before including this

Yum
I’ll see you, and raise you berry clafoutis for dessert

Thanks for doing this. NIH leadership becoming PETA heroes was not on my bingo card this year

It has been HOT in Bordeaux but science at #EBBS2025 and food did not disappoint
