Sun May 21 06:00:02 EDT 2023 ======================================== Slept from midnight to nine. Woke after three and stayed awake until five. Not as cool. Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 70s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Worked a little more on a Forest Service path analysis. Finished reading My Sister, The Serial Killer. Pretty good. Interesting anecdote from the Hidden Brain radio show: When cake mixes where introduced in the US, they included everything. The consumer only had to add water. But they were a commercial failure. Sales turned around when the powered eggs were _removed_ from cake mixes. Apparently, having to add fresh eggs made people feel like they were actually baking and could more pride/love/ownership/whatever than they could when only adding water. Had lunch with Ed at Griffin Claw. Servings: grains 5/6, fruit 1/4, vegetables 3/4, dairy 2/2, meat 3/3, nuts 0.5/0.5 Breakfast: carrots Brunch: orange, egg on English muffin, coffee Lunch: pierogis, cider Afternoon snack: Dinner: Thai
