My Mom is an excellent cook. She can also bake like a professional baker. She had all of our family over for Christmas dinner. What she put on the menu was rather eclectic: an interesting mix of Korean, Japanese, and American dishes. But because she's the Mama, she made it work. One of the newest food I tried that night was the Beer Bread. I've never heard of such bread. And because I don't drink, just the concept of beer + bread just did not sound good to me. But while we were putting final touches on the table, and I was starving, my Mom suggested that I should try a piece of this bread. I took a bite and...
IT WAS THE BEST TASTING BREAD I'VE EVER HAD. I couldn't believe it. The bread was gone during the first part of dinner. I wasn't the only one who thought it was good.
I had to find out what the recipe was. My mom told me she used Beck Light, but that was about it. I asked her to email the recipe to me. In the meantime, I looked for a recipe online and also looked for a mix wherever I went.
A week later:
I found a mix for cheap at Trader Joe's - I was excited! All of the taste and texture came back to me, making my mouth water as I planned in my head when I should bake this bread. So, on the morning of New Year's Eve, I wanted to fill the house with sweet smell of Beer Bread.
With a bottle of Stella Artois from our friends' house, I was set to bake. I followed the directions exactly. It was only a loaf so I preheated our small convection oven. I waited eagerly as the sweet smell filled every corner of our house. I tweeted about it with @andycinek, both of us literally drooling while we are talking about it. Yeah, it's THAT good. Long story short: Bread was disappointing. Got burnt, texture was too thick and not as smooth. It had a different taste. I was thinking about my disappointment and thought I'll journal a lesson I learned:
1. Have an open mind. Trying new things can bring good things to your life. Because I tried this bread on Christmas night, I have richer appreciation of my Mom. And the new type of bread! I want to have an open mind.
2. Never use the mini convection oven with anything that has to rise over 4 inches...carbonation/yeast dough will get burnt. Sometimes I want something fast and don't think about what I'm doing....I want to to plan better.
3. Not all beers/mixes are alike. There are things in life you cannot just "settle" for (even though I like to settle for many things for convenience sake. I want to pursue excellence (that's a blog post whenever I get one).
4. My husband ate the bread thanking me for making it. I want to practice kindness...
My family and I are truly blessed: we have anything and everything we want to eat and need. I want to live a life of thankfulness.
Now to apply these reflections to my students....!

"Silicon Souls" is an evocative gallery by renowned artist Duncan Rawlinson. Comprising of just over 20 images, the series ventures into an exploration of the intersection of technology and daily life. The photographs capture the unexpected elegance of robots engaged in human-like activities, such as painting, dancing, reading, operating within an office, and navigating the city streets.
What truly distinguishes Rawlinson's work is his innovative approach to image creation. Rather than solely relying on traditional photography, he pushes the boundaries of visual art, incorporating cutting-edge AI tools into his process. Through this blend of techniques, Rawlinson constructs an intimate portrayal of his robotic subjects.
His work challenges us to reassess our own perspectives on artificial intelligence and its potential role within our society. The robots in "Silicon Souls" are not cold, metallic figures, but instead echo the rhythms of human life, inviting the audience to find commonality in the unexpected.
In Rawlinson's hands, the lens of the camera and the pixels of artificial intelligence become a single brush, painting a fresh portrait of a world where technology and humanity can harmoniously coexist. It's a captivating look into the future, suggesting a world in which our silicon counterparts are not just tools, but part of the fabric of our daily lives.
Experience "Silicon Souls" and step into a future where the line between human and machine blurs, revealing a new perspective on what it means to be alive in the digital age.

Disclaimer : this is the first time I've tried to sew *anything* in my life and I'll fully admit that I rushed through certain steps in order to just get a feel of 'Will this work/How does it look?'.
A while ago, I decided that I was going to sew a hijab for Aisha. Tonight, I "finished" it. I'm putting the word "finished" in quotation marks 'cause I'm well aware that this hijab is a sloppy unfinished mess. There is no way Aisha is wearing this again XD
Nonetheless I learned a lot from this exercise so hopefully, my next hijab will be less messy. The hijab itself is sewn onto a head cap. My idea is to create a "easy to put on and instantly ready to go" hijab.
I look forward to doing this again, tho ideally I would like to retry it when I own a sewing machine.

Learning to Ski in the Alps was incredible. My instructor was fantastic and the experience progressed quickly. I had a fantastic time and cannot wait to ski again.

ETLC Building at the University of Alberta at around 9:00 PM. As I walked in the University grounds, I looked up at the one of the towering buildings in the U of A and found it very well-lit. Three students were hard at work while the empty floors continued to light up the night.
