Lots of snipping

When I was a lab life, I switched from latex to nitrile gloves. The QC
on disposable latex gloves is spotty. In addition, they will
spontaneously degrade over time. (One of my schticks as the blood-borne
pathogens officer for my dept was pulling on a hole-ridden latex glove
and saying, "I sure hope these guys don't make condoms.") Nitrile is
more puncture resistant and hypoallergenic. They are more expensive,
but nor if you're throwing out a bunch of latex gloves from a box.

OB Food: In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we went to an Italian
restaurant last night. SO ordered chicken with mushrooms, sundried
tomatoes and roasted red peppers over polenta. I ordered penne with
sausage. Others in our posse ordered potato gnocchi, which they
declared excellent.
