Eat/Sci/Cul and Recipe Radar – Link Feeds

I have a backlog of pictures for recipe reviews.  Lots of recipes I have made and not photographed.  Salty week never made it to Salt Lake City.  The only part of Eatologies which has received regular updates over the last months are the link feeds.

Link what-huhs?  Look over at the right hand column to “Eating/Science/Culture” and “Recipe Radar.”  Those are the latest and greatest articles and recipes I’ve read and added to Delicious.  You can see more links by directly going to their Delicious pages [eat/sci/cul] [recipe] or subscribe to the RSS feeds [eat/sci/cul] [recipe].  If you want to get even more specific, I’ve tagged the recipes up a bit, so on Delicious you can see just vegetarian recipes or just recipes from the NYTimes Bitten column.

About Eatologies

I want you to like science.

Science in America today is a lot of CSI and House and incomprehensible nerds and fights about evolution and climate change and hospital rooms and different health advice each week in the newspapers and is the Large Hadron Collider going to suck the planet into a black hole?

I’d rather science be simpler, like:  ‘Hey, that’s cool.  I wonder how it works.  Ah, there I go thinking like a scientist.’  I can see the ad now: Science, it’s just like curiosity.

Considering curiosity and science, eating came to mind.  Everyone eats.  And a lot of people must be a bit curious about eating.  I sure am.  (Eating questions in my head right now:  Why when I smell lemons am I transported to my childhood backyard?  Why does having breakfast make me less hungry between lunch and dinner? How do vegetables grow out of just a seed, soil, water, and sunlight?  What are the nutritional differences between light meat and dark meat?)
