Say Churros!

From XOCO, the most recent addition to the Frontera family. The tortas (sandwiches) are very tasty, particularly the one that is not available "to go" (because it is too messy aka fun).

The Purple Pig

Post-conferencing dinner at the Purple Pig, a Mag Mile eatery which promotes snout-to-tail dining. We started near the snout with pig's ears (fried beyond recognition) and proceeded to the braised pigtail via the pate-ed pig's liver - both yum. Vegetarians need not attend.

ACA, Chicago

Downtown on a misty Sunday morning for some crystallography. I must like xtals a lot to get up this early.

Pin Attack

Another arts & crafts session involving cable rewiring - enough already.

Le bicycle rouge

Faux french is really starting to catch on.
