Olive cheese bread, pasta penne with homemade tomato sauce and an exquisite blue-cheese cranberry,candied almond, vinaigrette, sunflower seed, and avocado goodness salad. What can I say, she's amazing. Her cooking triumph this week then has certainly towered over my own. I again attempted to make curry. I've got this great curry recipe book, all of the spices, an Indian friend at work to help, and lots of enthusiasm with very little experience to pitch at it. Even with all that help, it needs a lot of work. Actually my curry is quit good, but it always tastes exactly the same. It doesn't matter what spices I use, how I cook it, or even if I burn the onions or not, it always tastes the same. Finally I just gave up and got Melanie's Mom to take us to a real Indian restaurant. Yum Yum!
In other news I've decided on my grad adviser for my masters. I've talked with Dr. Warnick of the BYU CS department. If he ever gets my letter of recommendation done so I can actually get accepted into the program, then I'll land in his lab. It will be work in decision and control, a fascinating field that up to now has been dominated by the electrical engineering world. We're hoping computer science has something to bring to it. I'm excited because it means that I'll be getting the math background that I really want and need to survive in what I hope will be a top tier PhD program in a couple years. Here's hoping.

Oh, yum, that looks delicious! I'd love the bread and salad recipe. Unless it is a new family secret. And yay for you Mitch for moving forward. Here's kudos for your scholastic perservearance.
Mmmm...Melanie, can you come cook for us in Germany? :) Good luck with the Master's degree, Mitch-you're one smart guy.
