No amount of hours spent in
front of Iron Chef and Good Eats will a good chef make, friends, but perhaps one might consider the employment of one
MIT Media Lab experiment by Connie Cheng and Leonardo Bonanni: the Intelligent Spoon. This, um, intelligent spoon has
zinc, gold, zener diode, and aluminum sensors to detect the temperature, acidity, salinity, and viscosity levels of the
human-feed it's currently stirring, which it then sends back to a host computer for processing and direction. We're not
sure this would help us to add a certain subtlety or trans-cultural flavor adaptation to the sweetbreads we were
planning on whipping up tonight, but it might just do the trick in keeping you from over-salting that pancake mix on a
Saturday morning.
