...Reversing a Trend Tilson's early relationship with Chinese officialdom was almost scuppered by an inconvenient truth. In 2000, he and Minnesota Zoo teamed up with the SFA to make a census of wild South China tigers. They surveyed eight reserves in seven provinces over 18 months, set up hundreds of camera traps and investigated reports of any sighting - but found none.

The next morning, I sliced a lemon and some mushrooms and put them in a bag with a chicken breast and my frozen tomato cubes. I left with the heater set at 140°F (60°C). I cut out of work early to be home exactly eight hours later. The result: still spongy, but at least the sauce was tasty. I plan to try the recipe again with one slight adjustment - an oven...
