Awesome idea! This was also featured in the NY Times science section yesterday. It seems like some of the Star Trek technology could be plausible by the 23d century - or sooner!  NASA Looks at 3-D Food Printer for Star Trek-like Replicator

Gin & Tonic

The NY Times today has a long discourse on all the joys of my favorite cocktail - just in time for summer!  Recipe ideas and great photos of teasing water droplets on glasses full of liquid pleasure.  Check it out and enjoy! Gin and Tonic and a Dash of Restraint - NY Times

Laetitia Casta

So I have a story to go with these photos of the indescribably beautiful Laetitia Casta. In late 1997 I was in Paris for work, staying in a hotel not far from the Rue St. Honore, where all the ultra-high fashion boutiques are clustered, and only a short walk from the offices of the top designers.   Leaving my hotel one morning, I spotted this magazine for sale at a newsstand, but foolishly I did not buy it immediately.   As I was getting ready to leave Paris a few days later, I went to buy the magazine, but the newsstand near the hotel had sold all its copies.  I then spent the next hour or so scouring every newsstand in the neighborhood, looking for this magazine.  Nearly oblivious to all the beautiful people I passed on the sidewalks, my only concern was to find a copy of the magazine featuring the object of my desire, but every newsstand was sold out!  They had plenty of other fashion and photography magazines, but the one featuring Laetitia on the cover was not to be found
