Been brewing beer and making bread…
Some women fill their closet with shoes, however, I fill the valuable closet real estate of my Brooklyn apartment with three (by next week four) gallons of homebrew. It maybe weird but I like to watch them bubble…
And then I use the left over or spent grains from [...]
I made pickles, which I love. I made specifically pickled beets and carrots. The beets are yummy, the carrots are not so yummy to me but Allan likes them.

STUFF THEM!

The sun is up, it has hit its hotspot. New York City is hot, again. The jump from 50 degrees to 80 degrees reminds me that my lovely 70 degree northwest summers are no more. The first day of spring meant snow here and a couple of weeks later after the cold has left town [...]
I would now like to illuminate the joys of brunch. There is no meal more delicious or enjoyable than brunch. I love making it and eating it and going to get brunch, I love everything about the meal. I love listening to NPR or Radiolab during brunch. Or finding a spot such as the Northeast [...]
So lately my posts have been drifting between crafty projects and food and politics, now it is time to get back to science!
The science in the art of cooking to be exact. Food Chemistry!
Anyway, while cooking an Italian dish of polenta and mushroom stew/sauce I began to wonder what it means when my cookbook says, [...]

is also a scientist and makes me wish I could fluently read Spanish. I try to absorb the little scientific phrases I know and decipher the verbose explanations with recognition of similar English words but I fail miserably at understanding the overall complex ideas. The pictures help though.
