...piano recital held there every night. A few minutes' walk away, next door to La Scala, is my favorite restaurant, Il Marchesino, tel: (39-02) 7209 4338. Try deep-fried sole with tempura vegetables in sweet-and-sour ginger sauce, or have oysters and champagne as a pre-theater snack. Afterward, a ballet at La Scala, tel: (39-02) 7200 3744, is a magical experience. Then I'd walk around Piazza Castello beneath the medieval fortress, Castello Sforzesco. With the fountain sparkling under the illuminated ramparts, it's the perfect end to the evening. (See 10 things...
...test the effect of social influence on eating habits, researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited to a lab ostensibly to participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack of either M&M's or granola. Another "participant," who was actually an actor hired by the research team, grabbed her food first, in full view of the subjects at the snack line. In her natural state, the phony participant weighed 105 lb. and wore a size 0. But in about half...
What happens when a thin person takes a small portion? Again, we tend to mimic those around us. For the second test, in one scenario the actor took two pieces of small candy from a set of snack bowls. In the other scenario, she took 30 pieces. Under the lots-of-food condition, the results mimicked the first test: subjects grabbed and ate significantly more candy when the actor was thin. Under the little-food condition, the subjects took the lead of the actor and restrained their candy consumption. However, in this scenario it was the obese lunch date...
Brain Break began its fall late-night snack service on Tuesday in House dining halls and in Annenberg Hall, but the heavily promoted improvements left some students unimpressed. As one of the few Harvard programs receiving a budget increase in spite of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences’ $143 million budget shortfall, Brain Break was expected to feature “enhanced” choices—including healthier food options and greater variety. But the Tuesday night debut, featuring vanilla and chocolate cupcakes—along with traditional items such as bagels and peanut butter and jelly...
...wings had been invented out of necessity; the bar had accidentally received a shipment of wings (instead of other chicken parts) and didn't know what to do with them. However, Bellissimo's son, Dominic, disputed his father's story. Dominic claimed that the wings were an impromptu midnight snack Teressa created on his request; he had been drinking with friends and asked his mother to whip up something for them to eat. The stories don't necessarily contradict each other - perhaps Teressa decided to serve her son some of the extra chicken wings from the mistaken shipment...
