Today I begin this series called "Today I learned," wherein I hope to enlist one to three things that I either learned for the first time, or something that I re-visited and learned again. Considering this is a food blog, I hope to include at least one new food related thing that I learn.
1. The first thing I was excited to learn
early this morning was that today happens to be Stamen Grigorov's
birthday and death day. [b: October 27 1878, d: October 27 1945] He was a
microbiologist and a physician who discovered Lactobacillus bulgaricus-
the stuff that converts milk to yogurt. I have seen these rod shaped
bacteria plenty of times under the microscope back in school, but don't
recall learning his name. Well, thank you Google!
2.
Today I learned a great lesson on patience. I got myself an unglazed
clay cooking pot, only to find out that it came with absolutely no
instructions whatsoever on how to use it. Google to the rescue. Found a
great YouTube video that explains the process of how to season a clay
cooking pot before using. To sum up, after about only 30 hours I just
whipped up an excellent claypot of fish curry. Oh, it's simply
delicious. Patience certainly paid off, at least in case of the
claypot!
