De-stress...thanks to Benoit Mandelbrot

[debgeisler]

I was today years old when I learned that natural fractals helped children de-stress. They do quite a lot for many adults, too...including me.



Gimme that golden ratio.



P.S. I just finished making a batch of chocolate chip cookies with walnuts. Benoit Mandelbrot liked my cookies.

No, I am not kidding.

Walnuts? Not almonds?

[debgeisler]

Walnuts have a more assertive flavor, so I like them better in chocolate chip cookies. (I find almonds, macadamia nuts, and even pecans get a bit lost.)

I *do* have a recipe for a sour cherry and almond shortbread that is probably going to get made as part of my Christmas baking. Mmmmmm. And now, I think tomorrow's brekkie is going to be the cherry almond scones from King Arthur. It's a mix, but it's really yummy. (Really.)

And it's your fault. :-) Good job.

When did you feed him cookies?

[debgeisler]

At a picnic/potluck/cookout several years ago in Cambridge. :-) He was very nice.

Very cool!
