TED Talk: Nathan Myhrvold: Cooking as never seen before

I was on Reddit when I stumbled across this.  I figured I should share.  I hope you find this as interesting as I do!

Also, I've done the math and I appear to be a few posts behind my goal of 52 posts this year.  This means you can all expect some extra posts from me this week so I can get back on track!

Happy New Year!

Things have been very quiet around here this past year, but all that is going to change! It's a new year, and I've got lots of ideas kicking around that I'm looking forward to writing about. The format for posts is going to change, hopefully to something that is going to be easier to read and better for getting down to the cooking. The short stories followed by a recipe is wonderful, but it was just too much to keep up with. Besides, if someone is looking for a recipe, they shouldn't need to read an entire short story to get to it! The less time needed reading recipes, the more time left for cooking.

This doesn't mean that there isn't going to be any short stories, however! While they won't be as frequent, I intend to keep writing them and posting them every few weeks. I've also got some ideas floating around that I think will make things both smoother and more exciting around the table.

The update schedule will be to post something a week, for a grand total of 52 posts for the year 2011. This posts will include ideas for improving RP, short stories, as well as recipes.

Best wishes in the new year, and stay safe!

A Brief Introduction

I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons for a few months now, and I have to say, I am really enjoying it. It's always great to get your friends together, play games, and eat good food. It is truly one of the best things, and is the highlight of my week.

In general, most people think college students don't have the money or the resources to eat well, and that all people who play D&D eat Cheetos and guzzle Mountain Dew. Sometimes this is case. But it isn't always the truth. One can do surprising things on a small budget, and some people who enjoy D&D also enjoy good food. This is why I've created this blog, to share my experiences both playing Dungeons and Dragons, and in the kitchen with my friends.

So, what should one expect from this blog? I feel that it will include some of the following items:

* Recipes that are hopefully cost effective, easy to make, and delicious
* Reviews of snack foods and beverages of varying types
* Ideas to improve your games of Dungeons and Dragons, or other tabletop RPGs you may play

Hopefully this blog will give you some great ideas in both the kitchen and on the table.
