Inax Uncool Tiles

Inax Uncool Tiles 03/29/2005 04:22 AM

INAX has come up with some tiles that are "not cool." The "Thermo Tiles" feature bazillions of microscopic air bubbles inside, reducing their heat conductivity. It seemed to me that reducing heat conductivity would be a bad thing when you wanted something to be warm, but the problem apparently isn't in the tiles themselves. It's with your feet; reducing heat conductivity allows your feet to retain heat that would normally escape.

Don't expect to see/feel these outside of Japan anytime soon. Just in case you happen to live there, though, prices start from 12,600 yen per square meter.

Photo-Cast: 3D Tiles From 2D Pictures 08/17/2004 11:27 AM

Photo-Form is a tile studio out of Scottsdale, Arizona, that is making a bunch of interesting tiles using a custom technique called "Photo-Cast," which creates bas-relief tiles from any sort of two-dimensional image. I especially like the eight-inch tile pictured here, generated from a satellite image of a sports arena.

Networked, Powered Tiles Concept

Networked, Powered Tiles Concept 09/22/2004 04:24 PM

These "Pervsaive Ambience" tile concept by Caleb Fung would an extremely elegant way to add unobtrusive function to rooms. Each tile can serve as a link in a network, providing power and information to various "node" tiles, including "lighting tiles, heated tiles, flat speaker tiles, and LCD tiles." It would be wonderful if someone would make these; it would be more wondeful if someone made these an open standard.

The Pervasive Ambience tiles are just one submission to Design Boom's '100% Tiles' competition.

Although Küppersbusch makes a variety of glass ceramic cooking surfaces, the flush-fitting honeycomb cooktops clearly take the cake. Up to six seperate hexagonal "cooking zones" can be individually operated via a single control panel stone, or can be combined in pairs to form three larger cooking surfaces. Küppersbusch suggests 28 different possible layouts for installing the cooking surfaces, all of which must be integrated in a custom fitting (up to you to provide). Of course, the future of cooking doesn't come cheap -- prices start at $550 per zone, while the control unit will set you back $1,750. (Thanks, JP!)

My Tax Time Wish

My Tax Time Wish 04/15/2004 09:09 PM

If I could make a wish come true to make my tax time headaches more tolerable, it is the ability to dictate where my tax money goes after I file my tax return.  I want to be able to use a nice GUI application to swoop in, to see how others have allocated their tax money and where it's lacking, and divide up my tax money into areas where I think more money should be spent.

Concerned about the homeless or unemployment?  Drag and drop part of your tax money to the homeless or economic programs.  Angry about the Iraq War?  Don't spend any money on it.  Want to see more tanks?  Drill down into the army budget and spread your bucks on the armored divisions' purchasing budgets.  You want to reward or punish the job FCC has been doing?  Squeeze their budget until they do what you want.

UI-wise, you can select from a large selection of budget configuration packages from political parties or even influential individuals so you don't have to micromanage the federal budget.  So you would select one or select a few and average to start with and then make fine adjustments on the programs you feel strongly about.

Instead of voting on politicians, judges, and policies, direct budgetting allows us to vote with our tax dollars.  Whether the system will work in real life or not, the vision is definitely a satisfying one.  If successful, politicians will be on their knees begging for money for their favorite program as April 15th nears each year.  Who knows?  Maybe everyone will act responsibly.  If you like this idea, just drag-n-drop some donations to the Don Park's Daily Needs box.

« Viking ship scroll in Stockholm. »

It's Easter weekend and the weather has been fabulously warm and living up to the holiday's origin of being a celebration of spring before it was appropriated by the various organised religions [I remain ever puzzled why the faithful rarely wonder why all the major holidays coincide with equinoxes or solstices]. I've not been out to enjoy it as much as I might have liked as I've been busy cleaning the house, doing laundry and making kulitsa and pasha which are traditional Easter artery clogging delicacies. :) I've been wanting to make mämmi myself for the past two years but haven't yet. The HS had an article this past about a Tu nisian guy founded the Suomen Mämmiseura last year. I've definitely got to go see the mämmi eating championships next year.

Naturally the founder of Suomen Mämmiseura was also the jury chairman at the World Mämmi-Eating Championships held last weekend in a shopping mall in Toijala, a town between Hämeenlinna and Tampere.

Toijala is also incidentally home to "the world's largest mämmi factory", as you may learn if you see the product in the Finnish shops this week. Annual consumption runs to about 2 million kilos and the Toijala plant turns out around 3.5 million packets of the dessert to stores and kitchens.   

There were two competition categories: the "Camping" series and the "Salon" series. In each case the competitors had to eat two decilitres of mämmi in a manner that appealed to the panel of judges.

"In a civilised fashion!" stresses Ladarsi.

And if there is a book only about salmiakki, surely there is room for a book about mämmi. :) The HS also had an article about a mämmi making course along with a recipe that doesn't include molassas since it is considered 'cheating' to sweeten it that way. I'll try it next year....maybe. :)

This becomes mämmi

Ancient traditional delicacy was made in steaming pots helped by oven brooms

by Anna Paljakka of the Helsingin Sanomat

Greetings from a mämmi course!

The ten litre cast iron pot has never, as far as it is known, been used for anything else than cooking mämmi.

As soon as a dash of boiling water has been poured to the (bottom of the) pot, and on top of that has been sprinkled rye flour and malt, the sweet and heady smell of mämmi spreads into the room. However, work of several hours, spread over two days, awaits. The women of old didn't let themselves off easily, not in mämmi making.

We are in a traditional house at the Karjaa Folklore Society, called Antkärrgården. The participants of the mämmi course are from Swedish speaking areas, and "memma" has belonged to their lives starting from childhood.

A wood-burning oven and and two pots are being used. Two baking ovens are being preheated for the next day's bake.

Over the past weekend, birch bark pans were made with bark that was pulled from birches felled last June. It would have been wise to twist the bark into pans at that time for reasons that will become obvious later.

Can it be true that so little is needed for mämmi? Water, flour, malt, a little bit of salt, dried Seville orange peel, maybe a little bit of fresh orange peel.

"Yes, but it requires work. There is no rushing in mämmi making.", reminds the instructor of the mämmi course, a domestic science teacher, Hagar Johnsson.

The pots are stirred vigorously. "It may simmer but not boil, not even bubble," Johnsson keeps reminding us. Hot water is added carefully and once in a while a small amount of malt and flour is added, which gets swallowed by the brown, hot goo.

After three hours cooking it is time to cover the pots and leave to sweeten overnight. "Only a cheater uses syrup for mämmi.", Johnsson reminds us.

The next morning the pots are still hot, as they should be. Sweetening requires a temperature of about 50 degrees Celsisus, in which the carbohydrates are refined into sugars, Johnsson teaches us.

And stirring continues again. Now the mämmi has to boil properly to thicken.

Then the pots are lifted with iron hooks out to the stairs to cool. Now begins the insane whipping of the mämmi mass, as if exorcizing evil spirits. The idea is to get as much air as possible into the mämmi.

When the pots stop steaming, they are lifted into the snow and the whipping in high strokes goes on and on.

Inside the kitchen it looks like a witch's kitchen. The ovens are swept with a broom which has a tuft of coniferous branches at the end of a stick, much like the brooms of the Easter witches.

The best oven temperature for the success of mämmi is 180 degrees Celsius. Then one can still put one's hand into the oven and the bark pans do not burn.

They do not burn, and the bark that has been drying since the last summer is severely tested, even though the pans have been moistened. Some of the pans break, and the precious mämmi falls to the bottom of the oven. The slightly too hot oven is partly to blame.

After a couple hours of slow baking the mämmi pans are covered with foil. The afterbake is important.

Mämmi is easy to freeze. When fresh it keeps like bread.

The Norwegian Ann Lise Lövli Nilsen has also arrived at the Karjaa mämmi course. She is interested in seeing how the famous mämmi that looks like dung, but apparently tastes delicious, is made.

Lövli Nilsen is told one of the innumerable mämmi jokes, the one where a Finnish Swede named Varma Koskitar received a packet from home. The customs needed only to peek at the box and read the name of the recipient. Everything was fine: the packet said "varma koskitar" ("warm cowpats" in Swedish).

There have been attempts to make mämmi more enticing for strangers by comparing it with dark beer. The ingredients and the taste are the same.

Did you know?

Hefty traditional food

Mämmi is thought of as western Finland invention, but a sweetened grain porridge already existed in Persia.

The ancient mämmi porridge has all the properties of a catholic fasting food. It is a nutritious, tasty morsel, and is eaten especially on Good Friday, when even firemaking was forbidden at one time.

From western Finland the sweet and sour mämmi spread eastwards. The oldest literary mentions on mämmi have been found in the doctoral thesis of Daniel Juslenius, the professor from the Academy of Turku, "Aboa Vetus et nova", during the early 1700s. The Finnish-Latin-Swedish dictionary of Juslenius from 1745 mentions a Finnish delicacy, the mämmi porridge, made out of rye.

A biblical connection has also been found: the children of Israel left the slavery in Egyt so quickly that they had to grab unleavened bread dough. The Jews celebrate Passover to remember that but, in the far north, the place of unleavened bread has been replaced by a traditional food, the nutritious mämmi.

Basic Mämmi

Makes: about 6 pans

• 5 liters water
• 500g malt
• 1.5kg rye flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons powdered Seville orange peel
• (zest of 2 orange peels)

1. Add to 1 liter of boiling water, 1dl rye flour and 1 dl of malt. Stir well and be careful not to boil the mixture. Add flour and malt only once an hour. Stir again.
2. Cover the pot and leave on the stove or in a warm place for about 12 hours to allow the mixture to sweeten.
3. Add salt, Seville orange zest and, if you like, the zest of 2 orange peels. Bring to a boil and allow it to thicken.
4. Take the pot from the stove and, while cooling the mixture, whip the mämmi.
5. Fill the mämmi boxes half-full.
6. Bake at 180C (electric oven works well) for 1.5-2 hours.
7. Cover the boxes well with baking paper or foil for the afterbake.
8. Serve mämmi with milk or half&half. Taste and add sugar on top if it needs it.
