Well, since it's about jelly: I've found a girl, who makes alcoholic ones. Like, ordinary cocktails, but jelly. She doesn't share the recipes, 'cause she makes them for sale, so now I have an excuse for buying a lot of liquors and things like this. Yep.

- What how are you going to drink your vodka up in Siberia? It is going to freeze into ice chunks you, know.
 - I'm not going to drink it. I'm going to gnaw it.

Like jelly shots? Recipies for those are easily found - AFAIK the key idea is to combine the alcohol with Götterspeise pulver.

Aw, so this is a common thing? I saw it for the first time in my life. Now I will use the mighty Google and get terribly eaten. Thanks.
(Do anything except getting ready for the exams, as usual)

Oooooh, Jelly shot. Now that I've exhausted the lab tomato juice supply in Bloody Mary, I'm sure I coud make some nice jelly shots with agarose...

My ongoing campaign for workplace alcoholism continue!

I feel it's affecting me.  Your campaign is a worldwide one, mm?

[Helgoland]

Is that a (labomato juice supply for Bloody Mary), or is that a (lab tomato juice supply) which you (mis)appropriated to make Bloody Mary?

Pre-post edit: Noticed spelling error, left it in.

[Sheb]

Lab tomato juice supplies that was sneakily turned into rather decent bloody mary, using the lab vodka, tabasco, and various condiments supplies.

The unofficial rule of the lab is that anything you find in the cafeteria left outside the fridge is fair game, and over the years a lot of booze has accumulated, which me and my advisor are perfectly willing to clean up. The tomato juice was leftovers from a recent conference.

I've always been in support of workplace alcohol. There is no place I've worked that wouldn't have benefited in some way from a margarita machine installed somewhere. If nothing else, there'd be far less office drama because nobody would be sober enough to remember a grudge for more than a day.

You're speaking about your lab, and your thesis and all. But I don't know who you are. I mean, what's your job? Will you tell me?

P. S. I have the "safe with a source of inspiration" in my lab

I'm a Belgian doing a master thesis on directed evolution of proteins at the Catholic University of Louvain (not to be mixed with the Catholic University of Leuven :p ).

[Bumblebee]

So, it's biochemistry, right?

[acetech09]

[Sheb]

Yeah, makes sense.

[Bauglir]

It's all true, folks.
