I'm a geek. I'm not a science genius, but I like knowing why and how things work--including cooking. What I really love is when amazing chefs and science geniuses team up and give FREE lectures. Check out the Science and Cooking Public Lectures at Harvard! Better yet, these lectures you can watch in your pjs, smoking jacket, muumuu, etc, from the comfort of your own home. Watch them...Monday nights at 7: http://video.isites. harvard .edu/liveVideo/liveView.do?name= Science Cooking Schedule Here: http://seas.harvard.edu/cooking Tonight's fantastic lecture featured Harold McGee and Dave Arnold . Any many thanks to the Hungry Musicologist over at Food, Wine & Song , for the heads up!
On either side the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye, That clothe the wold and meet the sky; And thro' the field the road runs by To many-tower'd Camelot; And up and down the people go, Gazing in the oven low, Round a kitchen island there below, The kitchen of Shallot. (With apologies to Tennyson)
