Oh that bowl of cereal was from yesterday. Now I'm doing this, welcome back to #mfpkitchen, tonight... Late night actually we will be having chicken breast fajitas (marinated in lime, salsa habanera El Yucateco, garlic salt and crushed pepper) and grilled sweet peppers and onions. Cooking can be therapeutic. #mexicanfoodporn #food #fajitas #habanero #spicy #delicious #sf #sanfrancisco #chicken #vegeteriansbeware #cuisine #gastronomy #cook #kitchen #experimets #sourcery

Rats in Disneyland

- From interview with Temple Grandin

"I did my dissertation on the environmental effects on dendritic growth in the somato-sensory cortex of the pig. There has been much research on rats in which one group of rats lived in a plastic laboratory shoebox, and the other group of rats lived in a Disneyland playground with all kinds of toys to climb, and the toys are changed everyday. The results clearly showed that the rats in the Disneyland environment had more nerve endings in their visual cortex. So I thought, let's try this experiment on the pig. I had some pigs live in a Disney-Pig-Land, with toys and straw bedding, and other pigs lived in a little commercial plastic pen. And guess what happened? We were very surprised--the results came out backward. The pigs in the little plastic pen had more nerve endings in their cortex. We then asked why this happened? We looked at the videotapes which were filmed during the night, when nobody's around; and we found that these pigs were doing a lot of rooting. They were rooting the floor and rooting each other. They were just doing stereotypic behaviors when nobody was around them. These extra nerve endings were probably very abnormal. This is one of the reasons that I feel very strongly that you should not let little autistic children sit in a corner and tune-out 6 hours a day. They may be forming 'Dendrite Highways' in places where they are not suppose to have them."
