Only now, as I sit here in my hotel room eating a cheddar and roasted tomato sandwich, with a packet of Worcester Sauce crisps on the side, is the fact that I'm in London starting to sink in.
In a few minutes, I'm going downstairs to meet up with Mo, and we're going to stroll over to the Jeremy Bentham, which is the first stop on a tour of scientifically-connected pubs that the Nature Network's Matt Brown has arranged. I'm bringing my camera, and I'll try to remember to let the autofocus take over from me as the evening progresses.

One of my many distractions lately is travel planning. After spending several months living in the wilds of Lower Alabama, I'm getting to take a bit of a vacation. Right now, face a 60-minute round-trip commute to get to the nearest bookstore (a marginally acceptable Barnes and Noble). If I'm…

For four days this week, 10 women are coming to my house to play apprentice. We're going to milk goats, make sauerkraut, knit socks, talk about depletion and climate change, make teas and syrups, cook on a woodstove and figure out where to go from here and basically have a four day slumber party…
Ahh, autofocus. Stepping in when I can't step up. I miss my old 35mm Minolta with the big lenses. But then there is the digital control edge. That I like.
Could you further describe a "packet of Worcester Sauce crisps" for us?
Crisps (ie potato chips) flavoured with (or like) Worcester sauce, which is to British cuisine what Tabasco is to US cuisine. Reading from my bottle of Lea & Perrins, the ingredients are vinegar, molassess, sugar, salt, anchovies, onions, garlic and "spice".
Thanks, Ginger Yellow. It seems that I have a bottle of the sauce but didn't make the connection until just now. You provided the critical information that allowed me to make the connection. Aaaahhhh, Science!
I'm out the door to get some chips . . .
