Random classes worthwhile
College doesn't just have to be about exams and essays. Unbeknownst to many studious college students, TCU offers some fun, alternative classes to lighten up their college experiences.
Students should take advantage of the university's small liberal arts education by branching out of their majors with some unlikely classes.
A little-kept secret in the nutrition department is Gourmet Cooking, where students learn the science and basic principles of cooking, prepare a full-out gourmet meal once a week and get to eat it. It's a requirement for nutrition majors but an elective for everyone else.
Anne Vanbeber, who teaches the class, said cooking is a life skill.
"Any time you learn a life skill, you gain confidence," Vanbeber said on the first day of class.
Creating food fusion confusion
I CAN appreciate good food. Indeed, I think if more did there would be fewer fatties in the world at the McDonald's drive-through claiming that genetics made them do it. But there comes a time when a line must be drawn, when food goes from gourmet to gour-maybenot. Such a moment occurred this week with the news that London's Fat Duck restaurant, voted the world's best, is to launch a new dish to be eaten while listening to "surf sounds'' on an iPod. Described as a blend of seafood on a bed of seaweed and "sand-like'' tapioca, the dish is the latest from a restaurant that brought us such classics as snail porridge and sardine sorbet. There are a few obvious points I wish to raise here; but when you have this much material it is difficult to know where to start. For starters, the words "sand-like'' belong in geology classes, not menus; and seaweed is a favoured food of fish, the Japanese and desert castaways, and as such should be avoided by anyone without gills, a Hello Kitty handbag or a house made of palm leaves.

Split Bean Coffee Introduces Their April 2007 Flavor of The Month ...
Just in time for Easter/Passover, we are offering our varity packs. In addition, all orders placed prior to April 5th will receive a free sample of one of our micro-roasted coffees. This Month, we are also addressing the difference between Gourmet and Artisan. Some of our customers have asked us to address the difference is between an Artisan and Gourmet. The answer is quite simple. Gourmet is typically used to label products that are manufacture with high-quality raw materials to obtain a high quality end-product. For example gourmet chocolates normally have a high content of cacao liqueur, and gourmet cheeses are made with selected milks from selected farms. However, you dont always obtain a gourmet product by just using high quality raw materials. You also have to employ a control and tested method to produce a constant high quality finished product.
