Eric, Scott and I met for our eighth meeting at the end of November to start putting together everything we’ve learned together over the year for a master project.  A thesis project, if you will.

We’re pretty excited about it and we’ll post more about it in the future.  Otherwise, I was the happy recipient of the latest version of Scott’s DIY immersion circulator.  This one is cased in aluminum, otherwise known as ‘Jethro Proofed’ because of my unique ability to break things.

We also exchanged other early Christmas gifts as well as distributing our collection of foodstuffs amongst ourselves: fresh ceylon cinnamon from Costa Rica, homemade chocolates, transglutaminase, sodium alginate, Ultratex 3 and maltrodextrin.  Teamwork has its benefits.

Our next few meetings will be concerned with our developing thesis project, so we’ll wait to post on the project as a whole instead of meeting updates.  We’re looking forward to it!
