The delights of modern engineering never cease to amaze me. Having lived with only microwaves, hot plates, refrigerators and plastic utensils, I find myself constructing elaborate meals (nine-story cakes, boiled eggs and espresso with frothy milk) to use as many of these marvels in three days as possible...
