Sweet!!!

That was Lewis Hamiltons response when he was asked for his thought on becoming the first driver in F1 history to finish on the podium in his first three races.

The idea for the exchange came from our February trip to Tahoe when we found that a good number of the people at the lab are foodies. Since we all cook very different kinds of food, we decided to have a recipe exchange where we would be able to not only eat various dishes but also learn how they were prepared.

For this event we had Ryan, Yuki, Ayman, Carrie, Nithya and myself meeting in the afternoon to cook a wide variety of dishes (mostly) from scratch before Jeannie joined us for the consumption part of the evening.… Read the rest
