Hi all, I'm a college student at the University of Chicago who has an affinity for good food and cooking. Coming from a Chinese background, I grew up on stir fry and fondly reminisce  about the street food in the Middle Kingdom. I've forayed into many cuisines, but my ultimate culinary goals are: (1) to recreate the bouncy, hand-pulled noodles of China; (2) to bake restaurant style naan with the perfect balance of crispiness to chewy softness; and (3) to perfect the Chinese stir fry. Due to my strong chemistry background, I am intensely interested in the chemistry behind cooking and hope to understand good cooking through chemistry.

There's also some information about making naan in the Char-Broil Infrared Turkey Fryer forum, starting here.

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"A sense of humor is a measurement of the extent to which you realize that you are trapped in a world almost entirely devoid of reason. Laughter is how you release the anxiety you feel at this knowledge." -Dave Barry, humorist

 

Read to children. Vote. And never buy anything from a man who's selling fear. -Mary Doria Russell, science-fiction writer
