Recept: Tjockpannkakor
wastholm.tumblr.com/post/135502300202/recept-tjockpannkakor, posted 2015 by peter in food howto inswedish reference
Eller amerikanska pannkakor, eller hotcakes, eller flapjacks, eller… Jag tröttnade på alla dessa recept på nätet som mäter ingredienserna i tum och uns och koppar och andra dumheter och letade upp ett recept med metriska mått. Skaparen av detta tyckte dock fortfarande att man ska hålla på och väga mjöl och andra torra ingredienser; det orkar inte jag så jag bestämde mig för att experimentera fram en variant som är enkel att komma ihåg och mäta upp.
- 12 msk (180 ml) vetemjöl.
- 2 msk bakpulver.
- 2 st ägg.
Blanda.
- 2 dl mjölk.
- 2 msk smält matfett.
Blanda.
Stek i gjutjärnspanna på medelhög värme. Det borde bli runt 10–12 pannkakor. Servera med sylt eller socker eller vad du nu gillar. Själv kör jag med lönnsirap och lite smör.

Inside the ‘CCCP Cook Book,’ Soviet Recipes From the Heart of the Cold War
www.eater.com/2015/9/17/9347663/cccp-cookbook-preview, posted 2015 by peter in food history literature review russia
Here now is a first look at the CCCP Cook Book: True Stories of Soviet Cuisine (Fuel Publishing) by authors and historians Olga and Pavel Syutkin. It's a rare glimpse into the decades around when the USSR (CCCP) was transitioning to Communism. Food shortages and limited access to staples like bread, milk, and fresh produce were commonplace in the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s. Whenever rations are tight, creativity rules. Every day citizens were inspired to invent dishes that sustained them through long winters and hard economic times. Meanwhile, the ruling class feasted on luxuries like suckling pig and caviar. Class distinctions are crystal clear in each recipe; the Syutkins note that some of the images are of dishes that would have only been considered "aspirational fantasy for the average Soviet household."

The Food Lab: The Hard Truth About Boiled Eggs | Serious Eats
www.seriouseats.com/2014/05/the-secrets-to-peeling-hard-boiled-eggs.html, posted 2015 by peter in food howto reference
Lower your eggs straight from the fridge into already-boiling water, or place them in a steamer insert in a covered pot steaming at full blast on the stovetop. If boiling, lower the heat to the barest simmer. Cook the eggs for 11 minutes for hard or 6 minutes for soft. Serve. Or, if serving cold, shock them in ice water immediately. Let them chill in that water for at least 15 minutes, or better yet, in the fridge overnight. Peel under cool running water.

Your Fitness App is Making You Fat, Here's Why – Nir and Far
www.nirandfar.com/2015/03/fitness-apps-is-making-you-fat.html, posted 2015 by peter in food health
One study called out “the dirty secret of wearables,” citing that “these devices fail to drive long-term sustained engagement for a majority of users.” Endeavour Partners’ research found “more than half of U.S. consumers who have owned a modern activity tracker no longer use it. A third of U.S. consumers who have owned one stopped using the device within six months of receiving it.”
While the report mentioned several reasons why people don’t stick with these tracking devices, my own theory is simple, they backfire. Here are three surprising reasons why fitness apps may be making us less happy and more flabby.

The Famous Foods Of Every Japanese Prefecture [North, East, Central] - Tofugu
www.tofugu.com/2013/01/29/famous-foods-of-every-japanese-prefecture-central-north, posted 2015 by peter in food japan list reference todo travel
So, I’ve been doing my research. Because there are so many prefectures and so many famous foods, I’m going to be breaking this article up into two parts. One for North, East, and Central prefectures of Japan, and one for West and South prefectures of Japan. At the end of the second part, we’ll also include a printout that has a map with numbers on all the prefectures corresponding to a list down below it. That way you can print this out, take it with you, and go on a rompy food excursion in Japan.
Each prefecture will be given 3 famous foods with the exception of a few (like Hokkaido, which is really, really big and tasty). While there are many other famous foods in every single prefecture, these are the ones that seemed to be the most famous.

New EU label calls palm oil what it is | Environment | DW.DE | 16.12.2014
www.dw.de/new-eu-label-calls-palm-oil-what-it-is/a-18134682?maca=en-rss-en-all-1573-rdf, posted 2014 by peter in environment eu food health transparency
Very often, new palm oil plantations result in the clearing of rainforest. Researchers at Princeton University have shown that more than half of the palm oil plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia are located in areas where there used to be rainforest. So by choosing a specific product, the consumer unwittingly has an impact on deforestation of rainforest and the fate of endangered species like orangutans or tigers.

Why so many of the health articles you read are junk - Vox
www.vox.com/2014/12/10/7372921/health-journalism-science, posted 2014 by peter in crapification food health media msm science
So who's to blame for all these bad stories and the sorry state of health journalism? One new study, published in the British Medical Journal, assigns a large fraction of blame to the press shops at various research universities. The study found that releases from these offices often overhype the findings of their scientists — while journalists play along uncritically, parroting whatever showed up in their inbox that day. Hype, they suggest, was manufactured in the ivory tower, not the newsroom.

Fukushima radiation still poisoning insects | Science/AAAS | News
news.sciencemag.org/asiapacific/2014/09/fukushima-radiation-still-poisoning-insects, posted 2014 by peter in environment food fukushima health jpquake science toread
Eating food contaminated with radioactive particles may be more perilous than thought—at least for insects. Butterfly larvae fed even slightly tainted leaves collected near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station were more likely to suffer physical abnormalities and low survival rates than those fed uncontaminated foliage, a new study finds. The research suggests that the environment in the Fukushima region, particularly in areas off-limits to humans because of safety concerns, will remain dangerous for wildlife for some time.
