Looking down a microscope at thin sections all day won’t only strain your eyes, it’ll also eventually make your stomach growl. Thankfully, I’m not only a mineralogist, but I’m also a bit of a foodie and a reasonably decent cook too (that is, my kitchen repertoire extends well beyond pouring cereal and milk into a bowl, microwaving a frozen TV dinner, and boiling water).  So check out some of my favorite home-cooking recipes and DIY foods, paginated individually under the recipe sub-tab.
