Walking Around, a new urban walking game - Vacuum
"Second - and here is what is novel, at least to me - is that there's a bonus structure in the game designed to award bonuses for when you have accomplished tasks. The first bonus award that I'm awarding myself looks at constructing a walk so that you make an orbit around the biggest possible chunk of territory; that is to say, repeated walks along the same path will get you zero bonus, but going out of your way on a detour will add to your score, and trekking through unfamiliar territory in a big loop is the best."

IDEAS IN FOOD: Pressured Cooked Citrus
What if we could utilize an entire citrus fruit without any bitter pithy qualities? I also wondered if we could then serve whole cooked tender citrus fruits? Well, you can. I started with a batch of clementines cooked in elderflower water. I cooked them for fifteen minutes and the fruit and rind was tender and firm, like eating a yogurt. Pretty wild. Actually, fifteen minutes was a bit long for the clementines, the peels split a bit, though as a puree this pure essence of clementine is remarkable
