I was on vacation through Wednesday of this week, but did post an omnibus reaction piece to the Cuddyer, V-Mart, and Gose deals. I also held a Klawchat on Thursday.
This week’s links …
- I was arrested for voting. Iowa is ignoring the rules of our democracy.
- I was noodling around, looking for substitutes for cheddar cheese in a dish, and found two good links on the classes of cheese, organized by melting properties, one from Fine Cooking, and one from cheese expert Liz Thorpe.
- Scientists keep learning more about our microbiome, like how bacteria in our GI tracts might help fight off viruses.
- I know you’ll be shocked, but the 2014 All-Star Game didn’t live up to financial projections. Those projections are always pie-in-the-sky claims from people with a vested interest in the event. Ignore them.
- That video of the heroic Syrian boy who rescued a young girl while under fire? It was fake. Even if the creators’ hearts were in the right place, this will do far more damage than good.
