On the transition from the Silicon to the Tanana Valley, from urban to rural life, and from working in industry to being a full-time student to working in academia. If you see your name or photo on this blog and want it removed, please let me know and I will do so!

Misc Photos
Fuzzy wuzzy warm fuzzy cuddly wuddly huggable squishables (I seem to be failing at respecting the dignity of my Proud Alaskan Dogs):
Moose on campus, with twin calves. I think I only got one calf in this shot, though.
Oh yes, mama meeses can be very dangerous. But I was in the car, and they were very far away (notice the poor photo quality).
And yes, that is my favorite sweater! I bought it in Peru. It is of rather poor craftsmanship, but it is sofft, warm, fuzzy alpaca wool. And at least I got to contribute something to the local economy by buying direct from a Peruvian knitter, even if he wasn't exactly the most skilled. :)
Oh good idea! They way I learned to make green onion pancakes uses shortening, though, which I am avoiding. What do you use for the fat? Liquid vegetable oil? Butter? Lard?
You can use vegetable oil (brushing it on). If you google for recipes, you'll find many that do not include shortening or hardened fat. Also, you can get some pizza dough from your local pizzeria (since you don't have trader joes) and make green onion bread (cook it on the stove in your cast iron skillet)

Dang! Now those are some onions!
Were you in the car to take moose baby picture? Please always keep in mind that all animal mothers are dangerous when you are nearby their babies.
Nice dogs, they look content. Nice sweater, too.

Ooo... I'd like to try using olive oil with salt.
