Sipping one of Dado’s Bubble Teas, it’s easy to be grateful for her choice. A Taiwanese favorite, the Bubble Tea ($3.50) has grown in popularity in the US, spreading east from California. It features pea-sized pearls of rice tapioca at the bottom of the glass that shoot through the extra-wide straw into your mouth like glutinous bullets. Bubble teas are often made from a powder that gives them a syrupy sweetness, but at Dado, they’re made with loose tea leaves that give the drink a delicate flavor...
...concern for reality. By 1905 many Parisian critics still found the color combinations emerging from this Postimpressionist art peculiar. Matisse and his French followers, André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck, were nicknamed les fauves (the wild beasts) because they painted lemon yellow and lime green skies above pea green seas upon which sailed geranium red boats. There was another wild color that these Fauves used: white. In Alfred Sisley's Impressionist view of Willows on the Banks of the Orvanne (1883), we see pollarded willows in their May foliage, fresh leaves shimmering in a breeze. In part...
...also be that an entirely different part of the brain holds the key to understanding anxiety. Michael Davis, a behavioral neuroscientist at Emory University in Atlanta, has spent six years studying a pea-size knot of neurons located near the amygdala with an impossible name: the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, or BNST. Rats whose BNST has been injected with stress hormones are much jumpier than those that have got a shot in their amygdala. Could the BNST be at the root of all anxiety disorders? The clues are intriguing, but as scientists are so fond of saying, more...
...lush banks of the pea green Loboc River, Nuts Huts Resort presides over sweeping views of the surrounding hills. It is run by two charming Belgians, Rita and Chris, who seem to know what weary souls want: great fusion cooking (Rita's lime-laced chicken dish, pollo kalamansi, is a favorite), well-chosen music and the option to do nothing at all in several different locations?a shady terrace, a well-stocked music library or a herb-infused sauna...
...will, the extensive literature on demonic possession, a supposedly medieval phenomenon that has shown remarkable legs in our disenchanted world. (It’s worth noting that The Exorcist was based on a true story far more shocking and supernaturally charged than any of Linda Blair’s pea-soupy antics.) Yes, it’s perfectly conceivable that every case of “possession” has some as-yet-undreamt-of medical explanation. But it seems possible, at the very least, that when people behave as though they are inhabited by a demon and are cured...
