Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Oahn Vu shared a beautiful family tradition during the AEDA FreshLo Community meal about Gỏi cuốn, or spring rolls in English. Vu shares “I’ve done this with family and I’ve done this with friends… you have all the ingredients in the middle of the table and you grab the ingredients. You sit down and make the food as you are eating it, it is an easy way to participate”.
I love spring rolls and was inspired by Vu and this tradition. I gathered all the ingredients and did this with my family. As Vu shares it is a relatively easy for everyone to participate and share. I had a lot of fun doing this and I hope you are as inspired by Oahn Vu as I was. I have attached the spring roll recipe that I used but of course alter it to fit your dietary needs or tastes.
