In Search Of...

Hello on this chilly risotto Sunday!

(The weather is chilly, not the risotto, LOL!)

Remember that show from the 1970s, starring Leonard Nimoy?  It was "The Twilight Zone" meets conspiracy theory.  We would watch it with great glee and trepidation!

Well, this morning I went In Search Of knitting pattern books (more on that another time!), and guess what I found:

In other news - yesterday I successfully used frozen puff pastry (Pepperidge Farm!) to make cherry turnovers.  They were OK, but this puff pastry thing opens up a whole new realm of possibilities!!

Stay warm, safe, and well!

There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way. I think there is just to
