Cooking for engineers

All geeks who enjoy cooking (and who have cable television) worship Alton Brown’s program Good Eats. It’s the cooking show for engineers.

And recently I discovered a cooking blog that is designed for engineers, named, not surprisingly, Cooking for Engineers. Marvel at the elegance and beauty of the recipe diagrams. I have no idea whether the dishes are any good, but the recipes themselves are works of art.

(And don’t miss the analysis of orange juice shelf life.)

Side remark: I found it somewhat odd that many Slashdotters responded to my spam graph of a few days ago with remarks like “This guy needs to get a hobby.” I guess they don’t consider cooking, knitting, or studying German, Swedish, or Mandarin to be valid hobbies.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
