Nothing much to report, though I am getting back into the swing of crypto & security in general, getting through at least one paper a day, and reading Ross Anderson's big book "Security Engineering".
Aside from that, one of the PhD's in the research group had a birthday and his brother had a child, so he brought cake for the group to celebrate! Coffee cake and some bowls full of gajar ka halwa. It was very, very nice, and I'm also some 500 calories over my goal for today, so all's well!
Gajar ka halwa is a desert made from ghee, grated carrot, nuts and fruits (like dates). It's really nice, often topped up with a bit of sugar, and according to my calorie counting web app, coming in at around 300 calories a "cup". That makes it a really attractive desert for once in a while, it's not incredibly sugary, it's vegetarian, and the majority of the constituents aren't generally "bad" for a person. I think I'll have to keep my eye out for it every now and again :-)
Unfortunately, since my other half and I are usually below our calorie targets, we're going to the garage to "top up" our calories. I think we need to adjust our evening meal to add some 200 calories so that we are getting the right amount of food every day, without having to spend a couple of quid at the garage every day. We're mainly thinking about adding a pudding, but thinking about it now, I would not say more to more food on my plate.
