As I was pulling yesterday's Julia Child YouTube, I stumbled across a real gem: Julia discussing "primordial soup" and the origins of life for the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. This apparently aired from 1976 until the gallery closed.
Wow, is this a hoot. I had to share it.
Thought I'd share a few links of recent finds and intriguing bits:
-- Love the landscaping on this blog. I want to move into several of these photos, don't you?
-- Ever wonder about the intersection of food, politics, and rise in obesity? Marion Nestle has some fascinating insights on this.
-- Speaking of Marion reminds me of one of my favorite cookbooks, written by a friend of hers, Martha Rose Shulman. If you love good cuisine, and want to eat more healthfully, might I suggest Mediterranean Light: Delicious Recipes from the World's Healthiest Cuisine?
--Say it with me: "pimp style" is decidedly not hawt.
-- Weight Watchers has apparently upended their points system diet plan. There is going to be some serious confusion and crabbiness among the masses. (And Weight Watchers is going to make a mint selling all new books, which is probably part of the point, no pun intended.) If it leads people to choose real food over processed, that's probably a good thing overall, right?
-- And for your not healthy cuisine munching pleasure? This one's for Toni: the polvorones recipe we used yesterday to make cookies with sprinkles on them. I used to make them like Mexican wedding cake cookies -- with ground nuts in the dough and powdered sugar outside. But The Peanut doesn't like nuts, so I searched around to find a recipe without them. This turned out well -- we added a little cinnamon to the dough, too.
So what's catching your eye today? Do tell...
