Week 49: Cake!

Hm. I didn't do very much this week. On Friday we had a lab dinner to welcome a few new people who have joined the group over the past few weeks. We went out to a shabu shabu restaurant, where you cook meat and vegetables in a pot of broth at your table. The pots each had a division down the middle, like this one:

Missing from this picture: a vegetarian side

That means that at my table, one side could be used just for vegetables, and people could cook meat on the other side, which was really thoughtful! And luckily there were only three other people at my table, so most people didn't need to be TOO meat-deprived. 

I spent most of the weekend in the lab or running errands. I made an interesting new friend at the store. I also just noticed that my friend's bike is in this picture; we were at the store at the same time, but I didn't know because she recently got a new bike and I never recognize it (but she later told me that she parked beside me on purpose) :p

On Sunday I helped my friend's kid to decorate a cake because she was having a party with her friends to celebrate her birthday, which was this past Monday. I think she has some serious cake decorating skillz!
