I wasn’t aware that vegetables were verboten in Broward county, the region of Florida that spans Fort Lauderdale to Miami, but after staying here for a week, I can assure you that this is so. In fact by the dagger-eyed looks I was given every time I mentioned the word “vegetarian” in a dining establishment, I have begun to think that, rather than merely being culturally taboo, eating produce for pleasure might even be illegal here.

Being vegan, well, I shudder to think of what the consequences of THAT might be.

Pink radishes, jewel yams and white corn with a swipe of magenta across it’s kernels that I kinda sorta want to make a necklace out of and/or bedazzle everything I own with…

I’m not usually one to pigeon-hole my foods into stereotypical gender roles…but this soup is kinda girly, don’tcha think?

My parents’ fridge is always “stocked”.  By which I mean, there’s a sixty-gallon tub of mayo, at least four bottles of ketchup, and multiple mustard containers with varying degrees of crusting going on in their lids sitting in there at all times.

Is it any wonder, then, that I grew up totally condiment averse?  That the little packets that come with just about any take-out meal give me nightmares?  (Ummm unless we’re talking soy sauce. Which I could, and sometimes do, drink straight.)  That I gag a little bit at the sight of those signature squirt bottles?

Right now I bet you’re seriously amazed that I had any friends growing up. Yeah, me too.

So, um.

Funny story.

You know how, when some people are going to Florida in less than 24 hours with their boyfriend for a week-long vacation to celebrate his taking the bar exam, they might, you know…attempt to clean out their fridge and rid themselves of all perishables before leaving?

This morning I woke up in a cold sweat.

No doubt it was due to the fact that I have to spend what feels like my thirtieth work day in a row attempting to clone my gene-of-interest into a lentiviral vector that not only likes to recombine in strange and unusual ways once it is transformed it into bacterial cells so that even though it seems like you have a whole plate full of positive colonies.  Really.  You have none.  Which you learn after you mini-prep FIFTY OF THEM.  (Ugh.)  But also likes to randomly degrade itself every other time you try to digest it, sending you on a wild goose chase looking for some nuclease-contaminated digestion ingredient that may or may not exist.

Fun times.
