Where is Buka? I have not heard from him lately.

If he doesn't come on later this week I'll send him a text and reach out/see where he's at. He's got some family stuff that might be distracting him, but knowing him it's equally possible his laptop broke and he doesn't know how to fix it.

He's training a new fighter.

Because, really, if people knew we chased chickens around, they'd laugh at us.

We will be making Gingerbread this weekend. A family tradition.

Some good news to share. My older daughter has been accepted as a PhD candidate in the UW Chemistry department. She was also offered an assistantship, which means she will receive a monthly stipend and all but $250 per quarter of her tuition will be paid by the lab for which she works.

Sweet.

I'm making Guyanese Solara for two sides of my family (one of which is actually Guaynese and told me it was really hard and to just buy some, hence the challenge).

It's a big secret what I'm making. Everyone is excited, because I rarely bake, preferring to cook and only eat baked things (which is also the reason I don't bake much).

I thought this was perfect for Christmas, gonna use red and green coloring. Mmhhhhmm. Delicioso.

Guyanese Salara - Red Coconut Roll - Alica's Pepperpot

Red coconut roll, what Guyanese call salara, is mainly a bread recipe that has been filled with red-colored coconut, rolled up, then baked off until brown.

That is bloody brilliant, fantastic news, well done to her

We're thrilled. She works hard. She said that it will probably take five years to finish, but with the assistantship she won't be taking on any debt or need to take on a second job. It's a great situation, and the UW has a fantastic chemistry department.

Something that doesn't often happen
Mrs Xue and the youngest Xue are out shopping for the day
The older Xue is in Texas with his current significant other and family
I took the day off from work...so no paying attention to the work iPhone/email
Just had time to sit at my kitchen table, no TV, no radio, no pod casts running in the background. no arguing about math
drink a nice cup of organic, fresh ground, fresh brewed coffee while enjoying an almond biscotti...or 2
Just sit there, enjoy the silence, drink coffee, eat biscotti and look out the window at winter as the world goes by

Fantastic news, Steve. Congratulations to her!
