It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. This doesn’t seem like good news for growing food in space, if soil is a key element of flavor. We know it is with wine grapes.

Life Extension And Covid
I’ve been using cucumbers instead of pita to dip hummus, and it looks like it’s not a bad idea.
Heredity And Lifespan
This is very good news, if true. Both of my parents died of heart attacks fairly young (I’ve now outlived my father by more than a decade, and will beat my mother in a couple years), but they were both obese and smokers. I have a clean bill of health as of a year or so ago, in terms of plaque, even though I ignore the criminally terrible nutrition advice from the federal government.
Et Tu, Nathan’s?
I’m continually dismayed by the assumption that this plant-based “meat” crap is “healthier” than the real thing.
On Eating Meat
More junk nutritional science.
Steak
This would be a great technology for the planet, and off planet. I wonder what it will cost per pound when they scale up production?
Non-Stick Frying Pans
Why the food sticks sometimes.
I’d recommend against using sunflower oil, though. I use tallow, lard, or ghee.
Recipe Bloggers
Why they make you read so far to get to the recipe.
Cephalopods
…are even weirder than we thought.
I won’t eat octopus, because I have too much respect for their intelligence.

Covid Life In LA
Our experience has been quite similar to Virginia Postrel’s, and we feel very fortunate. I can’t imagine how terrible it must be to be cramped in an apartment with too many people, or what a nightmare this has been for parents with children. I haven’t seen divorce statistics for the year, but I’m sure they must be record level.
