Let's try this again
Alright, well, that didn’t go… anywhere. I had no reason to keep a blog other than to fool around with a new toy, so it fell by the wayside.
I’m going to repurpose this blog as a foodlog - I’m starting to cook for myself more and more, and I’d like to keep a log of the stuff I try. Lately, I’ve been making a lot of pasta, since it’s so versatile and takes less time (busy grad school “life” and all).
Luckily, the title still holds. Cheese is wonderful, and I intend to use it.
Watch: Chris Matthews Tears Up Kevin James on Hardball
Long story short: conservative pundit compares Barack Obama to Neville Chamberlain, the man who gave Hitler half of Europe.
Chris Matthews asks James what exactly it was that Neville Chamberlain did. James does not know. He flusters around calling Chamberlain an appeaser for several minutes without ever naming the major historical event associated with Chamberlain’s name.
It’s always wonderful to see pundit’s shallow talking points so blatantly eviscerated. Hee!
This made my day! Nice work, Mr. Matthews.
The MSU Dairy Store’s “Jalapeno Pepper Cheese” (basically, pepper jack) is wonderful. I put slices of it between two halves of a just-toasted English muffin, and it was t3h awesome. Go get some!

Chicago-style hands
My hands smell like a Chicago-style hot dog!
For some reason, you can smell every part of the hot dog: from the rich smell of Vienna beef, to the plain white bun, to the sweet aroma of mustard infused with juices from the pickle. I can even smell the moistness of the tomatoes, the acidity of the onions, the tang of the relish, and the slight spiciness of the sport peppers.
I don’t know why you can smell all the parts. Maybe pickle juice brings all the volatile molecules out, or maybe I’m just smelling my breath…
I’m gonna miss this in Ithaca.
—4th comment, “Proposals and Framing” @ Cosmic VarianceWhy not apply for a grant on some other topic and use the money to do the research you want to do? This is what we usually do in theoretical physics.
I still haven’t unpacked.
I think it’s partially a manifestation of my mind’s unwillingness to combine my MSU life with my home life. Those things are separate and distinct. One has much better food.
I need to do that soon, though, since I’ll be taking them both and sending them off into a “Cornell life.” Complete with a new Civic, maybe.
Also, my home life precludes that I am lazy as hell.
About
I am a 1st-year graduate student in physics at Cornell University, after finishing my undergrad years at Michigan State.
This is a sort of foodblog... or rather, a foodlog. Wow, that sounds horrible. But I'd just like to keep a log of what I cook, so I can improve my skills and treasure my recipes. It's like a food lab notebook!
And I do rather enjoy cheese.
