    I’m trying to figure this one out. You’re not makin moonshine in the basement there, are you???

  • I am guessing this is OC’s.

    Rose

    xo

  • MelliNo Gravatar says:

    OC’s office? Or were you makin’ salad dressing?

  • CarlettaNo Gravatar says:

    What are we testing? :)

    The bottles in front reminded me of perfume samples.
    OC’s not making you your own perfume is he?

  • MarNo Gravatar says:

    I already had questions and then I read the comments: who is OC??? :)
    Happy WW!

  • sauerkrautNo Gravatar says:

    They don’t know who OC is??

    sacre bleu!!

    How about… distillery wisked from the damp, dark woods and brought to market?

  • hollydollyNo Gravatar says:

    wow. that’s the second time today i haven’t known what it was i was looking at.

  • QuillyNo Gravatar says:

    Robert — for some reason your comment hit my Spam folder! I am so glad I found you. OC’s activities are legal, I assure you. His lab is too often inspected for it to be otherwise!

    Rose — you’re a smart lady.

    Melli — this is the lab. His office has a desk and computer. And if that were salad dressing you could have it with my blessing — salt water and algae vinegarette. Yuk!

    Carletta — OC is an oceanographer and a botanist. He keeps a culture collection and studies protozoa. That’s why here he is known as, Amoeba. I very much fear any perfume he made would smell a little fishy.

    Mar — OC — O’Ceallaigh, is my significant other. Check out the rest of the comments, then read here and that should help you put it all together.

    Sauerkraut — ah, but you met ME through OC. They meet OC through me. Now, if only he hadn’t deleted his blog ….. And if you want a glass of this stuff as far as I’m concerned you’re welcome to it. Can I watch you drink it?

    Holly — bottles of seawater growing algae specimens. As to the other, just wipe it off your shoe and don’t ask questions you don’t want answers to.

  • BrianNo Gravatar says:

    She is smart.

    “Eau de Protozoa” sounds like a winner to me.

  • QuillyNo Gravatar says:

    Brian — I’ll have OC mail it to you — for YOU. Not Rose. She’s too classy for fish water.

  • neababybluNo Gravatar says:

    hmmmmmm looks like “weird science at work here” haha

  • SandyCarlsonNo Gravatar says:

    What are we making? Looks like there’s an egg in that big bottle. Perfume? Great shot.

  • JientjeNo Gravatar says:

    This is from OC’s lab right?
    I love the picture, especially how the light shines on the bottles, and it’s as if the bottles have a light within them too!

  • Cool one for WW! Happy WW! Hope you’ll visit my corner too…

  • QuillyNo Gravatar says:

    Nea — ayup.

    Sandy — it’s all explained in the previous comments.

    Jientje — it is OC’s lab. I love the light in this photo. I am glad you saw what I saw! I was beginning to wonder if I was imagining it!

    Pretty — on my way.

  • Dr. JohnNo Gravatar says:

    Durn! It looks just like the still my great uncle had in Marquette . Are you sure it’s not a still.

  • QuillyNo Gravatar says:

    Dr. John — I can only repeat what OC told me. He says it is algae. I’m not willing to taste it for the sake of arguing.

  • julianaNo Gravatar says:

    wow, that is an excellent shot!
    fantastic light in this shot… i’ve always found labs sort of mysterious and the light here enhances that feeling

  • SheliaNo Gravatar says:

    Very labbish decor…a touch of seaweed would make it sing!

    Happy WW! :D

  • CrazycathNo Gravatar says:

    Oh. My. God.
    He’s concocting a bomb. Take cover!

  • QuillyNo Gravatar says:

    Juliana — the light is what I saw when I walked into the lab. I had to take the photo.

    Shelia — I’m sure there’s some seaweed around there, too …..

    Cath — if he is, it’s a water bomb so you may want those covers to be plastic.

  • QuillyNo Gravatar says:

    Andrew — actually, I believe they’re at room temperature.

  • KilaNo Gravatar says:

    My oldest boy wants his bedroom to look like this. I think he would like OC.

  • RavenNo Gravatar says:

    Beautiful photo. I love the way the light shines in the bottles. Beautiful.

  • QuillyNo Gravatar says:

    Kila — most likely he would. OC would answer all his questions and teach him about all kinds of slimy things.

    Raven — thank you. That’s what led me to snap the photo.

  • AnnaNo Gravatar says:

    I love the salt and pepper! Very nice quilly!

  • QuillyNo Gravatar says:

    Thank you, Anna.

    [My crazy upside down blog strikes again. This comment actually goes to this post]

  • Had fun reading all the comments, Quilly! Glad to find out who OC is. :)

  • QuillyNo Gravatar says:

    Mary — I’ve been here 3 years. Sometimes I forget that not everybody has been with me that long.

  • hi
