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.

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

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."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer
