My new decadent indulgence:

coconut milk

Don't be fooled — just because it's squeezed from a "fruit" (a nut, really) doesn't mean it's not rich in life-enhancing saturated fat. But, oh, so luscious...

Over a fruit salad of mango, lychee (fresh!), water chestnuts (also fresh!) and silken tofu...

Over chilled cellophane noodles, with honey and cardamom...

In peanut curry, with tofu...

Think of it this way. You get to consume a certain amount of saturated fat in your lifetime. Shouldn't it all be this yummy?

Orbit, the board game

I've been musing for a while about designing a tabletop orbital simulator — a board game system for Newtonian gravitational motion around a single, massive object (i.e. the Sun). ( I can think of a couple of different ways to do it. )
