Feb 2 Enchiladas


We had 13 people at our first journal club. In addition to discussing our two articles (with lots of discussion about the role of peer-review), we sampled some Roberto's green enchiladas, rice and charro beans.



The beans were a definite hit (here is a recpipe for charro beans: http://www.recipezaar.com/Mexican-Charro-Beans-27484), and the green enchiladas earned an average rating of 3.5 fruit flies (on a scale of 1-5 fruit flies).

[For those of you wondering about a fruit fly ranking scale, our program uses Drosophila (a genus of fruit flies) in different projects at the interface of mathematics and biology- see our program home page: http://mathbio.nmsu.edu/ ; so a ranking system of fruit flies seemed appropriate- with 1 being low and 5 being high]

Of the comments solicited, several of the MathBio students found the green enchiladas to be a tad "weak" on the heat, while the Canadian faculty found the green enchiladas to be plenty hot, eh!

We agreed that we would sample chicken enchiladas in the future, so stay tuned for our next sampling and review.
