Vegan Cook-a-Long: Almond pancakes - a flop
http://vegancookalong.blogspot.com/2009/03/almond-pancakes-flop_16.html
Monday, March 16, 2009. Almond pancakes - a flop. I was very excited to try these this morning. I've been baking with almond meal for several years now, adding it to existing recipes in place of some of the regular flour. I love the flavor and I like the combination of nuts and lemon, so this seemed perfect. Plus I have a former student who is on the Ketogenic diet to prevent seizures and was hopeful of finding a good recipe to recommend. I thought that perhaps they needed more time to rise before cookin...

Waitress from Mensa: December 2013

Monday, December 30, 2013. Quaint, archaic technology. In the late 1970s, journalism professor Bert Bostrom at Northern Arizona University stood at his podium and lectured that in the near future, we would read our newspapers on an television screen, and print out only the articles we wanted. (He was most likely hinting the the impending demise of print journalism.) Were my classmates as incredulous as I was? And it has all come to pass, and much more. Oh, the dial-up modem?

Waitress from Mensa: Water dogs

On cue, using a modern plastic atl-atl (curved throwing stick), I launch rocks into the pond while standing on the railroad tracks. At the sound of the plunk, Oliver swims so fast to the ripple that he leaves a wake. Rarely, a freight train chugs by, and I have to scramble out of the way down a talus slope to the shoreline.

Waitress from Mensa: June 2012
http://waitressfrommensa.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 16, 2012. The textbook scam…and a radical idea from a college lecturer. Years ago, a colleague, an electrical engineer, was angered by the speciousness of his daughter’s elementary school textbooks. The textbook cited incorrect data about temperatures of various color stars. It was apparent, from a quick read, that the writers merely randomly assigned temperature ranges to the various star colors. Bad science, and he was justifiably angry. In other words, it would be the student’s re...
