SO my grant is turned in to the office of sponsored projects, hooray! That means that I am continually getting emails telling me my references are formatted incorrectly or my facilities page also needs to include information about the institutional environment, but different information than what goes on the institutional environment page. Annoying, but I guess I am glad that someone is checking this stuff. But for the most part, this horrible thing is done. I'm pretty happy with what I turned in, and really excited about the project I proposed. I was ready to quit science forever on monday after my fifth night in a row with less than four hours of sleep, but I have been assured that the whole process gets easier.
Anyways, the past three months have been completely insane and I am ready for a break. This weekend, in addition to doing a lot of laundry and cleaning, I am going to cook all sorts of things:
Veggie Stock!
Butternut Squash and Cider Soup
Tangy Chickpea salad
pumpkin-risotto
Pumpkin bread
