Maggie’s Marvelous Mardi Gras Macarons
I may be a decent cook, but I know when I’m outclassed by a great baker. When I saw Facebook photos of my friend Maggie’s baking projects – collected in an album titled “Food Porn” – I jokingly suggested that … Continue reading

The Call of Cthulhufruit
The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either … Continue reading
Ginger Fried Rice with Shrimp
Inspiration for the evening meal can come from many sources. Last night’s dinner was inspired by a sale on U10 shrimp at Whole Foods and Mark Bittman’s most recent Minimalist column in The New York Times. How could I resist … Continue reading
Flushed, Scrod
Excerpted from How to Get Around MIT (HoToGAMIT), a student guidebook issued to all incoming MIT freshmen: flushed – (1) pp. Turned down or out. Disappointed in some endeavor, usually involved with selling oneself. Examples: “I got flushed at the … Continue reading
