I learned some interesting things about food science.

Anytime you smell food cooking out of the oven, or out of the soup/stock pot, that's flavor escaping from the food. Lower your food to a simmer, folks--180-190degrees. Do it now.

The problem with baked goods is harder to fix. One can buy a "stove-top oven" so that the air doesn't vent out, or a wood cook-stove.

All other modern-day ovens vent out the air, leaching flavor out of the food.

I learnt that no matter how many chances someone is given some folks will choose to test the bounds and fail to learn a single thing.

Lemmings can swim.

Walt Disney promulgated the lemming suicide lie in his movie White Wilderness.

Hey... shut up, it was a (poorly made) metaphor.

The order in which I like Austen's novels, from favorite to less liked: Emma, Pride and Prejudice; Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey; Mansfield Park, Persuasion... although I am still open to consider inverting the order in the last group.
