Which Tastes Better?
I haven't been around on the blog as much over the last few months. In part, that's been because my husband spent the last 4 months in a land I like to call Dissertation Hell. It's a dismal land, one that prohibits most-to-all of your social contact, forces you to leave household chores undone, and leaves you with only enough energy to fall in front of the TV when you emerge from it at the end of the night. My husband was, obviously, living there much more than I was, but Dissertation Hell requires that your spouse get a visa and come with you for a lot of the journey. So, we've both been a little more tired than usual.
But it all paid off. Yesterday, he got his Ph.D. in chemistry. What do you do to celebrate such an event? Why, I'm so glad you asked . . .
You make the Periodic Table of Cupcakes! Different flavors for the different groupings of elements, along with a guide to help people choose which element is right for them. (Because a Metalloid tastes different than a Halogen, you know, and no one wants to be surprised when they bite into a Noble Gas.)
It was geeky and silly and fun. And, most of all, yummy.
