...just five foods that all three kids will eat. I'll start by cutting up an onion, but first I have to clear the countertop. Mail, newspapers, coupons--hey, there's the checkbook--it all goes on top of the dryer. The onion goes into a pot of instant broth along with a few limp carrots and some leftover chicken. The camera trails me as I crush some ice for the toddler, who's teething, and throw a load of whites into the wash...
...study group is working well, we can say honestly that two heads (or three or four) are better than one. At other moments, when trying to reboot a computer with friends offering conflicting suggestions (or sometimes just at dinnertime), we realize that too many cooks can spoil the broth. And as far as relationships go, depending on the nature and identities of the persons involved, it's pretty clear that both "out of sight, out of mind" and "absence makes the heart grow fonder" are at times true...
...entrees, too, were large, innovative and delicious. Once the mystery behind "Salmon Ukka as a Dinner" ($18.50) is unraveled, it seems irresistable. A filet of fresh salmon, seared and encrusted with fresh ground pepper, is served floating in a delicate vegetable broth brimming with bite-size chunks of carrot, celery, fennel (a popular ingredient at Salts) and tender potato balls. The combination is neither nouveu Americain nor specifically Eastern European but rather a unique invention...
...1980s, before the U.S. belatedly banned such dangerous exports, Iraq's Education Ministry ordered 70 packages of microbes and toxins from the American Type Culture Collection, a nonprofit outfit in Rockville, Md. Included were flasks of freeze-dried anthrax spores. Iraqi labs reconstituted the spores in soy broth and put them into a small fermenter filled with a growth medium. The medium, Zilinskas says, "was imported from Europe and had nutrients that the anthrax bacteria needed to grow...
...computer-driven devices measured the soil samples and fed them into the miniature biology lab, where they were analyzed for signs of growth, metabolism and respiration, processes that would signal the presence of living microorganisms. In one of the tests, a soil sample dampened with "chicken soup"--a nutrient broth--gave off a burst of oxygen. In another, unexpectedly large amounts of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide were released. While both results produced flurries of excitement at J.P.L., scientists eventually--though reluctantly--concluded that the gases resulted not from life processes, but from some exotic Martian chemistry. Their conclusion...
