Behind the Test Tube: Q&A
Chloe May—Technical Associate
What do you like to do when not in the department?
Play Minecraft, play with my cats, cook, and crochet!
A Rochester must?
Dogtown. $5 bucks a pop for the best hot dogs in the city, each is almost a full meal in and of itself.
Feast/meal of the times? Details, please!
My favorite meal to make and eat is a spicy blush sauce with cavatappi and spicy Italian sausage. One and a third cups olive oil, two 6-oz cans of tomato paste, one third to one half cup of gochujang, a bunch of green onions, and a head of garlic minced. Cook ‘til the oil is a nice deep red. Then add a quart of heavy cream, four tsp red pepper flakes, two tsp Italian seasoning, six tsp dried basil, whisk ‘til smooth and bring to a simmer. Finally, two cups of grated parmesan added slowly. Cook the sausage on the side and add at the end along with the green parts of the green onion, serve over cavatappi.

The goal of this initiative is to highlight the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives in the Department of Chemistry and help our community develop stronger connections and synergies. You can think of these spotlights as the beginning of a conversation that we very much hope you will continue in the corridors of Hutch and beyond.
