Had the pleasure of celebrating graduation with these incredible @HMSurgery residents Friday night. Our front-and-center graduating chiefs will no doubt be more wonderful examples of @HMethodistMD excellence. Looking forward to following their careers!

Forgot to say put the top half of the Brie round you cut back on after you smear the fruit preserves.
Replying to @fuzzymittens
Pillsbury crescent rolls, Brie round, fruit preserves, +/- almond slivers. Cut the Brie round in half and smear the fruit preserves and sprinkle with almond slivers. Wrap in crescent roll dough and bake in a dish sprayed with nonstick oil using crescent instructions (11-12min?)

Wonder if the #Yankees are wishing, once again, that they had a roof…..😏 Begs the question why a billion dollar franchise didn’t put a roof on their new stadium when they built it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #Astros #ALCS

Right back at you, Jen. I cherish your friendship and support!
So excited to share this experience with @nic_tap! We’ve come a long way from being co-residents at @BCM_Surgery. So thankful to have her as a life-long friend, professional and personal cheerleader, and curbside consultant for the tough cases! #ACS_2022 #ILookLikeASurgeon
