Jamie Oliver’s iPhone App: 20 Minute Meals
Jamie Oliver has released a new iPhone app 20 Minute Meals, a self-contained digital mini-cookbook that sets the bar really, really high. It features 50 recipes with an integrated shopping list sorted by grocery store aisle, step-by-step instructional photos, and over 90 minutes of video clips with Jamie Oliver teaching basic kitchen skills like sharpening knives and chopping onions. It has metric and US measurements, and allows for adjusting portion sizes based on the amount of people. There’s even a shake-to-get-a-random-recipe feature.
I’m down with this!
2009, meet Future. The 1950s would be proud.

"It was written by someone identified as plucche."
The “quoting from web sources” section of the NYT’s style guide still has some work to do.
It’s amazing how many references to new web sites or web sources are in the NYT on any given day now. Even 5 years ago that wasn’t the case. The Times, as they say, are changin’.

kevadväsimus
noun • spring fatigue that sets in when the sun has come out, yet it still feels like winter. (Estonian)
It is the yearning for sunlight and all of the earthly pleasures that you know must be right around the corner coupled with the grim knowledge that nature will find a way to delay your satisfaction for as long as possible. (via Itching for Eestimaa)

“ Americans love to shampoo. We lather up an average of 4.59 times a week, twice as much as Italians and Spaniards, according to shampoo-maker Procter & Gamble. But that’s way too often, say hair stylists and dermatologists. Daily washing, they say, strips the hair of beneficial oil (called sebum) and can damage our locks.

When It Comes To Shampoo, Less Is More : NPR
A salon person in Brooklyn told me this a few years ago, after I asked why my hair looked like it was blown dry even though I never used a hair drier. I changed my habits and can verify from experience that it works…at least with my type of hair. YMMV.
