Happy Thanksgiving!

Towards A Phylogenetics of Desserts

Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny*

This year we celebrated Arthur's first Thanksgiving (and Beatrice's third) with Sam, Lilli, Travis, Monty, and dozens of other friends at the annual Caltech Thanksgiving party, now in its twelfth year.



Not a very good photo, but it does encapsulate just how much Beatrice loved walking around in Lilli's fuzzy slippers

We also took some side trips to visit my parents and sister, Jay Kruse and his family, and the Nigams.




All in all it was a great trip (even if Jeff's car did catch on fire) but I have to admit, I mostly enjoy Thanksgiving as the kick-off to Christmas.

*Or PHYLLOgeny! Get it? Never mind.

Oh, and here is the official Dessert Cladogram (the highlighted desserts were ones we baked and consumed in the name of Science).
