So, Clay's lab has been in charge of the seminar series this semester for their department - which has led everyone in the lab to decide they want me to adopt them. You see, I've been making a lot of the baked goodies for the weekly seminar that entice people to go to see the speaker in the first place. They go for the food and stay for the talk which proves that food can be a very compelling device.
The first week I had tons of apples around so I made apple bars and oatmeal applesauce cookies. Next, I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bars. All were good, so I'm told, but none were too exciting. So, I decided to branch out and go for a savory option by making cheddar biscuits. I guess they were amazing, so now I'm wondering how I'm going to top that.
It's kind of fun being the lab soccer mom. I like feeding people. It's such a tangible way to serve people since everyone needs to eat. It has been good for my soul...and my baking skills. Sure, it will be a nice break when the semester is over and some other lab take over the seminar series. But, I imagine I'll probably still send baked goodies to the lab every once in a while. After all, what kind of soccer mom would I be if I didn't?
