Speaking of Cake

Posted by Shoshana

I’ve got a friend up here in Iowa who has an awesome blog called Roasting Rambler. He is an unassuming chef, in that he absolutely thrives on creating masterpiece food but would never become a professional chef. He is constantly exploring the far reaches of food, creating and tweaking recipes and finding interesting combinations of ingredients. Not only that, but he is tapped into this amateur chef online community and shared a recipe for chocolate cake with Reese’s all over it. I mean all over.

He thinks this idea is disgusting. But I, on the other hand, think it is divine. I can’t wait to experiment with this cake for my husband’s birthday.

On another note, he is taking a statistics class right now. Summer school statistics is torture. I tried it once and nearly failed. I have more hope for him, though. He’s a smart cookie.

My brother thinks that we have all gotten too old to be able to grasp the language of statistics. It really requires an additional brain hemisphere to comprehend the depths of statistics. I hope once I am done with grad school I will not have to try to train my brain to understand the basis and fundamentals of a one-way ANOVA or a chi-square test. But I will always remember what a p-value is!
