Dinner in Oakland
Periodically, Erin and Aram throw a fabulous dinner party. Last night's menu featured meatballs that taste like doughnuts, thanks to the addition of chopped dates. Krispy Kreme's business will suffer now that we know how to make a meaty equivalent! From left to right in the second image below are Sylvia, Erin, Eden, me, Renee, Colby, Mindy, Alicia, and Aubrey, with Aram behind the camera.
We also performed some consumer testing on a fancy vaporizer I received for free from a generous employee of the Vapir company, with disappointing results--surprising, since this is a $400 model. It's very high-tech, though, so it's possible we simply didn't understand how to operate its Trek-like computerized interface. For now, I'll continue to recommend the Vapor Doc, which looks like a simple wooden box, operates with only a switch and a knob, and costs less than half as much as the Vapir.
