Jack was kind enough to allow me to crash her plans last night involving using up lemon curd. We ended up making a sort of ad hoc tart from Dave Lebovitz's tart shell recipe, dousing the thing with a cream cheese layer, and topping it with the aforementioned lemon curd. i'd never had lemon curd before, and was pleasantly surprised (okay, and cleaning the last smudges out the jar with my fingers, apologies). Jack also graciously let me play Kishi Bashi's NPR Tiny Desk Concert at her during the proceedings. Awesome. Reference his live album here, or specifically Bright Whites. Beatboxings. Yowza.
TAing is an odd thing. All of a sudden you find yourself standing in front of a classroom full of people, some of whom look interested, some of whom are frantically scribbling down what you're saying, some of whom are glancing at the clock or their iPhone every 30 seconds, and you're trying to put words together in the correct order to describe how they make yearly influenza vaccines. i feel like my communication skills ARE getting better, and i'm tons more comfortable in front of a class than i've been in the past. Finals week, yay!
Lately interesting from the NY Times: 11 year old boulderer who's got serious chops. Game Of Thrones actress Natalia Tena interview here. Huh.
That's kinda all i got today.
Somehow I missed the fact that this was your first encounter with lemon curd. I'm proud to have been a part of that. Someday we should make our own, as I'm sure it would be much tastier fresh than pre-made.
