I&#8217;ve been a lot busier with the new cycling team and this year&#8217;s road season than I had imagined, and things are not letting up at work. Having too many things on my plate is stressing me out! Anyway, to all of those who have expressed interest: I apologize. I hope you all understand!</p>http://sltresto.com/post/18265591183http://sltresto.com/post/18265591183Sat, 25 Feb 2012 11:56:07 -0800SLTMarch<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzns6mLpAG1qlzi12o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>$40 for Sous La Terre doesn’t sound so expensive now, eh?</p>http://sltresto.com/post/18066436237http://sltresto.com/post/18066436237Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:59:21 -0800<a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=PublicationURL&_hubEid=1-s2.0-S1878450X11X00021&_cid=282117&_pubType=J&_auth=y&_acct=C000228598&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=44ab440e76592f5d5867f7b4b1eff2b5">Internation Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science</a>: <p>For the geeky food scientist in you.</p>http://sltresto.com/post/18000890971http://sltresto.com/post/18000890971Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:10:12 -0800IJGFSScienceDirectGastronomyFood Science<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzbc87TQWm1qhod0do1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Thinking about picking up a new kitchen toy…</p>http://sltresto.com/post/17534450754http://sltresto.com/post/17534450754Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:55:00 -0800PolyScienceThe Smoking Gun<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz5bhas07O1qhod0do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://sltresto.com/post/17334995384http://sltresto.com/post/17334995384Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:53:34 -0800Next: elBulli<p>This is unconfirmed as of now, but I might have a date and time for the next Sous La Terre: Sunday, March 25th, 6:00PM.

What the kitchen staff of Next needed a week ago was the recipe for elBulli’s famed gorgonzola sphere. They didn’t get it.</p> <p>“They were setting up the exhibit in Barcelona and they were, I’m sure, incredibly busy so they kind of went off the grid,” chef Achatz says. “We had four recipes that we needed from them because they weren’t in any of the books. But [the elBulli guys] kind of disappeared. So Dave was like ‘I need these recipes, I really need these recipes’ and I’m like ‘I emailed them twice, I don’t know what to tell ya’ and his response was like ‘fuck it, I’ll just figure it out.’ Literally he goes ‘how hard can it be?’”</p> <p>And did it work?</p> <p>“Well,” Achatz replies. “It was good. It was pretty much the same thing.”</p> <p>“I mean, it was 50 grams off,” Dave Beran says. “I used ice cream stabilizer instead of xantham gum, but otherwise…&#8221;</p> <p>“Otherwise it was pretty much the same thing,” Achatz says.</p> <p>“But then they came through with the recipe and now we’re going with theirs.
