@streakmachine Very cool. Their initiative, or had you applied?

@hazardwarning Very impressive.

@matigo Absolutely not. That kind of joke is fun.

@matigo I like the idea that an awfully hot machine would freeze.

@matigo 'zackly.

Well, that was an exciting and productive morning. Wrote a pretty long piece on quinoa for NPR, and though I am happy with the end result, I'm pretty certain they was want to strip out all the complexity and nuance and reduce it to a boringly straightforward story. That's their privilege, of course, but part of me hates to lose the complexity. I wonder how they would feel about me publishing the story as submitted on my onw site. I suppose it won't hurt to ask, if they do in fact strip it.

@indigo Exactly.

@jextxadore I've honestly never got into it, but if it works for you, that's great. For tougher cuts, I like slow cooking.

@jextxadore Sounds like you are doing everything right! If it were me, I would try a straight comparison of brined and un-brine,. To see whether I could taste (or feel) the difference.
