Saving Money?
My mother raised me to grocery shop carefully. She was such a stickler for coupon use that she tells me that when I was very small, I thought coupons were REQUIRED to make a purchase. I was raised to comparison shop, to clip coupons, to be ultra-price-sensitive. Even so, this woman terrifies me:

Pie-cosahedron!
Taking a brief break from burgers, I bring you pie, plus math. Which usually ends up being pi, but isn’t here (click picture for instructable):

When I still worked at the Smith College library, one of the staff librarians asked me what my favorite food was. I… didn’t have an answer. She assumed that this meant I didn’t like food. Not the case— I actually like too much food to be able to give that answer.
Here is as concise a [...]
