There's this thing, when you're doing your PhD, it's called a Troika and it's a terrifying three person first year review of all the work you've been doing when you really don't know what you're doing and it's scary and there sit your supervisors and some random genius doctor, lawyer, philosopher that are going to decide the fate of the next three years and possibly the rest of your working life. \n\nLuckily, one of my supervisors is Italian, and the others are human beings... so I brought cannolis from The Sicilian Pastry Shop. \n\nNeedless to say it all went swimmingly as 20 minutes of the hour session was spent discussing how. damn. good. the cannolis were. \n\nThat good that you would trust them with your life.
