Wed, 05 Oct 2011 01:20:00 -0700 Why Do Sandwiches Taste Better When Someone Else Makes Them? http://powen.net/why-do-sandwiches-taste-better-when-someone-e http://powen.net/why-do-sandwiches-taste-better-when-someone-e
By Daniel Kahneman

When you make your own sandwich, you anticipate its taste as you're working on it. And when you think of a particular food for a while, you become less hungry for it later. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, for example, found that imagining eating M&Ms makes you eat fewer of them. It's a kind of specific satiation, just as most people find room for dessert when they couldn't have another bite of their steak. The sandwich that another person prepares is not "preconsumed" in the same way

Fascinating! Next time I make a sandwich I'll think about ice cream or m&ms...

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 14:14:00 -0700 Can you "surmount the obstacle of the umlaut"? Silly NYTimes on blaufränkisch http://powen.net/can-you-surmount-the-obstacle-of-the-umlaut-s http://powen.net/can-you-surmount-the-obstacle-of-the-umlaut-s
This diacritical mark, a mere two dots, is simply intended to communicate a particular pronunciation of the vowel it tops. Instead, it often signals to consumers that they must flee in terror to the nearest bottle of pinot grigio. Yet if they can surmount the obstacle of the umlaut, I believe they will find a lot to like in a glass of good blaufränkisch.
