First our landscaping project. The driveway paving is almost complete.
Then the EdX Science of Cooking MOOC.
We'd fallen behind on lab experiments waiting for a fancy fast digital thermometer to arrive, so today we completed two experiments in time for our evening meal. First heat transfer in steamed molten chocolate cakes - Jack has already measured the temperature and now is measuring the crust.
Then viscosity of sauce for macaroni and cheese. Four conditions to test by leaving one of the ingredients out of the sauce: butter, flour, milk and cheese, then making the control sauce with all four. In each case pour the sauce into a glass filled with cooked macaroni and time how long it takes the sauce to trickle down to the bottom. We had good results here, then made some more of the "control" sauce and had excellent macaroni and cheese for supper!
We followed it with whole (dry baked) chocolate cupcakes, served with vanilla ice cream.
Delicious, but dinner preparations took a long time and made a lot of dirty dishes!
