  1. “It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.” ― Philip K. Dick, VALIS ... Or to go to grad school because that's pretty much the same thing. Purdue Food Science PhD program on a USDA National Needs fellowship for Foods & Health, starting in the fall. Yikes!

      It will, which, given the current weather, lends more credence to the insanity plea I'll surely be making in court one day.

  10. Dilemma of the day: How much cocoa powder should I use in my non-dairy mocha drink formulations? Guess I'll find out tomorrow when I taste them if I guessed right.

      Working in a nut-house (per se), as I do, we try to promote our products. So, dairy-replacement products are things I work on sometimes. And for those keeping score, they need more coffee & more cocoa, but the sugar & vanilla amounts are good. Still have to tweak the hydrocolloids more though. ;)

      thanks, i suppose. looking forward to it but not without trepidation. as my first official action as mod, have considered locking your latest riddle but guess being cleverly challenging is not sufficient justification. thanks again.

  23. loved delivering a good food science smack-down way too much. (I'm petty, so what?)
