Initially I tried boiling them, but they popped within a minute.
So then I tried steaming: same result.
Double boiling: I set a bowl of red wine into a slow cooker. Same result.
I did the same with a bowl of evaporated milk - this time they didn’t split, and gained a...

Cranberry Amuse-Bouche
It’s that time of season, and I’ve been tasked with preparing a Christmas-themed morsel for a party. I’m thinking holly, but as that’s inedible/toxic, I need a substitute, and cranberries will do quite nicely. So I’ve looked around at various recipes, and come up with a smashing list of them at Epicurious. Brandied Dried Cranberries and Cherries Mulled-Wine...

Making maps is also about figuring ways for people to recognise the
information.
Can you map the sensations of a pinprick so that someone else
understands the sensation in the absence of a pin?
Not that I know of, so tactile maps have some way to go before they
become meaningful.
Can you map the experience of standing in the rain with a bunch of
friends drinking mulled wine and talking about the internet?
Can you relate the complexity of moving through town in a way that
records your impresions for others to review?
Yeah. Use a camera, microphone, and assorted drawing tools.
