Since we have exposed my geek cred (thanks, Carolyn, Keith), here is an interesting article: Ten Famous People You Didn't Know Were Engineers. (I knew about the first four, plus the guy from Boston). Which is worth not much, but I have to maintain my geek cred. Hey, is there any geek bling?)

Sites and Blogs I like
- Serious Eats
Serious Eats is another blog which plants its stake, and its steak, in the fertile land where food meets science. There is lots of great material here, much of it by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, or Kenji. If you like FeedMe, you will like Serious Eats. - Cooking for Engineers
What do you get when you apply the engineer's mind to the kitchen? Straightforward, practical recipes and tips and a passion for simplifying without sacrificing quality. - Harold McGee, the Curious Cook
Did this guy invent kitchen science? Not really but he pioneered it. I 'love' this stuff. - FoodGal
Carolyn Jung, a great Bay Area food writer, discusses restaurants, food events, ingredients, and what she's cooking. Heart, fun, and food!
De nada.
So a good caption of a Crawford super model photo would be "All this and brains, too"

The one I immediately thought of was Frank Capra, who got a BS in chemical engineering from the school that later became Caltech.

Interesting list! Who knew that Cindy Crawford, Alfred Hitchock and Jimmy Carter had so much in common!
