this weekend we tried our hand at some vegan samoas. you know, like the girl scout cookie. moderately difficult to make, but totally worth it! the recipe we used is adapted from the wonderful vegan cookies invade your cookie jar. (if you have extra time on your hands, improve them by doing them this way.)

For you Dick

Votemeal Cookies: oatmeal chocolate chip with a kicky cinnamon-apple-cayenne glaze. As delicious now as they were that glorious night.

Note: I usually use apple cider vinegar in the glaze instead of apple cider, because I always have it around and its wonderfully tart.

The brain scientist sent this to me, telling me about the new DNA the lab ordered that allows brain cells to fire with light. Date’s finally Monday. I think I’m in love already.

Purkinje neurons play an essential role in motor function. Here the Purkinje neurons reach their arbor-like dendrites into the molecular layer of the developing cerebellum of a mouse. The mostly green cells at the bottom left are cerebellar granule cells, which relay information from the nervous system to the Purkinje neurons.
