Chilean Gastronomy

Chilean Gastronomy 02/01/2005 09:38 PM

Some notes on Chilean cuisine...

Mayonnaise goes with everything.  A standard snack is a "Completo":one very mild almost tasteless hot dog, steamed or microwaved rather than grilled; Wonder Bread-style bun, microwaved for warmth, chopped tomatoes; onions or sauerkraut; avocado spread; a copious quantity of mayo spread over the top.  A "Cesar Salad" at a fancy restaurant: iceberg lettuce; shreds of local Parmesan cheese; lots of mayo.

What you order is what you get.  If the menu says "lettuce and tomato salad" you get a plate of lettuce, almost invariably iceberg, and tomato.  No garnish.  No spices.  No dressings or sauces.

Canned fruit salad is good for everything from the breakfast buffet at a top hotel to part of an ice cream dessert.

Corn chips and salsa are almost impossible to find.  An enormous Lider supermarket in La Serena had a few bags in the bottom of a small "international food" section.

"Chilean sea bass" is not available in Chile.  It would be called "Bacalao" (cod) on a restaurant menu, supposedly, but nearly all of the Patagonian Toothfish steaks are exported to the U.S. or Europe.

Local seafood can be very good.  It is generally available in a tasty soup, plain, or smothered in a heavy cream sauce.

Best meals so far... (1) a chic 6-table pasta place in Valparaiso, (2) the cafeteria at the lodge at Las Campanas Astronomical Observatory (lots of spices and veggies for the Americans observing there), (3) steamed shellfish in Achao, part of Chiloe in southern Chile

Just about every meal is served in a stylish environment by friendly and attentive staff.

Conference on molecular nanotechnology

Conference on molecular nanotechnology 07/15/2004 05:17 PM
Our friends at the Foresight Institute are sponsoring the first-ever conference to focus solely on bottom-up nanotechnology, as envisioned by Richard Feynman in 1959.

"This new meeting series will examine all aspects of advanced nanotechnology, also termed molecular manufacturing or MNT: research status, prospects for disruptive applications, and policy issues — including maximizing access for those who would not otherwise benefit."

On the third day of the event, bloggers Howard "NanoBot" Lovy and Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds are co-chairing a panel on Advanced Nanotechnology Policy. Link

Just when you think all government endeavors are going to hell, the National Center for Biotechnology Information comes to the rescue (well, has been coming to the scientist near you since 1988). For free, search everything from dna sequences in organisms where the genome is known to searching known Mendelian inheritances for Homo Sapiens (example here). Also of much use and interest is PudMed< /a> with the ability to search and read virtually any established molecular biology paper.

David Pescovitz:
Howard Lovy's NanoBot points us to a site selling plastic model nanotube kits. They sell other fun molecular model kits too, including cocaine, caffeine, THC, and, of course, lysergic acid diethylamide.

"LSD is a strong hallucinogen. A rough form, ergotamine, which can occur in stored rye grain, is believed to have been the cause of the odd behaviour which triggered the Salam witch trials. This model of LSD can be used in conjuction with molecular model kits of other street drugs as part of drug awareness programs."

IBM scientists have built a computer circuit that is a quantum leap smaller than any yet created, using a technique they call "molecule cascade." The company's scientists claim this technique enables them to make computer logic elements 260,000 times smaller than those in today's silicon semiconductor chips.

New tool for the molecular machine shop

New tool for the molecular machine shop 04/21/2004 11:39 AM
University of Michigan researchers are using a femtosecond pulsed laser as a milling machine capable of carving out features as small as 20 nanometers, 1/5000th the diameter of a human hair. The new approach trumps state-of-the-art electron beam lithography because it can machine features in three dimensions. "If we have three channels on a plane, we can link the outer two without cutting into the center one, we can go down over and up, we can cut a U-shape," said one of the principal investigators. "Not being constrained to one plane, the level of complexity that can be achieved is much greater." Link
