I just found out that I will have a summer job!! Yeah!! I will be teaching cs354 (for those not affiliated with University of Wisconsin-Madison it is a machine programming job). It feels like ages since I taught last- other than class presentations; the last time I taught was last summer- so it has been ages. I have high hopes to make some more adjustments to class projects and lesson plans- even though this will be the fourth time I have taught the course, I don't want to get stagnant.

To celebrate, Mark and I went out to my favorite Madison restaurant- Sa Bai Thong- I had my usual #57 with delicious straw mushrooms, hard tofu and veggies while Mark tried a new and wonderful dish- a red squash curry- his new favorite (and almost mine). We eagerly put down butternut squash on our seed list in the hopes of recreating the dish this summer with our wonderful garden produce!!
