Art and Dessert

I think the two links should be viewed side by side

I'll start with this link. Dangerously beautiful photos of glasses and liquids:

I finally got around to baking Peach Cobbler, I used this site's recipe:

It comes close to the one I tasted a few years ago, the first time I had a peach cobbler. I think I did something wrong, because the dough didn't look as translucent as the pictures on the site.

Anyway this upcoming month should be relatively stress-free so I'll try out some more recipes.

Meet TED

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design- its mission, Spreading ideas. The conference started out as an annual event in California, attended by a select group who first had to be invited and then had to pay thousands for the pleasure of it. What's special about TED is that they invite the top speakers from various fields, and it is really quite informative. What's more is that we the commoners can now enjoy the best talks for free!

Here's a presentation I just saw today!
