Flashes of Panic

I’ve discussed the weekly colloquium before. Starting in the fall, we’ve had grad students volunteer to take a fixed budget and provide the food. We have just inventive enough grad students that things can get out of hand very quickly; I’ve reached a point where I don’t volunteer because I have no hope of measuring up to previous performances.

For example, today we had candy sushi. With green cake frosting for wasabi, some kind of red licorice as ginger, and chocolate sauce instead of soy sauce. And, of course, chopsticks. It was both very sweet and somewhat disturbing.
