Toasting research Scientists at the University of Leeds have arrived at the formula for making perfect toast. "To produce the patches of butter most people said they prefered, the bread needs to be heated to at least 120C, and the butter should be used straight from the fridge, applied unevenly within two minutes of the bread coming out of the toaster. The amount of butter should be about one seventeenth the thickness of the bread. "
Mmmm, bacon air freshener.
Thanksgiving on the Space Station "On the Station, the holiday table is set with bungee cords and Velcro. There's no heirloom china or tablecloth. Astronauts eat from disposable plastic containers and aluminum pouches. Instead of a carving knife, scissors are more important for meal preparation... The diners on the Station hold a record among holiday travelers, during the course of a meal, they circle the Earth."
just-drinks.com, a UK drink industry site, has two beverage-centric weblogs seem to have that industry pretty well covered - the Beverage Business Blogs by Chris and Musty.
