It is suggested that you buy this book the way it is suggested that when you jump out of an airplane with a parachute, you pull the rip cord.

Well, all I know is this - nothing you ever learn is really wasted, and will sometime be used. You have come nearer to mastering a good many aspects of cooking than anyone except a handful of great chefs, and some day it will pay off. I know it will.

This is a repository for the everyday things I find interesting and inspiring - including but not limited to science, crafts, art, nature, and food. Unless otherwise noted, all of the photos were taken by me.
I also keep a second blog about women scientists. Check it out: http://sheblindeduswithscience.tumblr.com
