Consider the Watermelon
A small dark seed rests in fertile soil. Warm sun and a bit of water and the seed sprouts. A vine creeps along the ground. A blossom gradually becomes a melon. The melon lies in the soil – the dirt.

I’ve read Michael Ruhlman in his book The Making of a Chef: Mastering Heat at the Culinary Institute of America talking about learning to make consommé at the CIA, how he struggled to achieve that elusive level of clarity that would let him read the date on a dime at the bottom of his pot. [...]

After our company was gone, we moved on to the [...]
I am a huge fan of webcomics. I read them daily, but I haven’t posted anything about one in a very long time. Recently, one of my favorites reminded me that I should talk about webcomics and food. And this one even has a food related title.
