Another kitchen chair.

Server + touchpad = powerhouse.

One of the things I like about a home web server is the ability enhance the capabilities of a touchpad. You can use the server to do all the heavy lifting. In this case cookdojo recipe program is running from the server (where all the data is kept), but allows the touchpad as an interface or thin client. You can easily move the touchpad to another location for some other web based application such as home automation or even a game.

math and the kitchen.

Being new in the  #kitchen    was not sure how much flling I needed to fill a 9 inch pie crust pan, Could #mathematics solve the problem? A pie pan is sort of a frustrum (cut off cone). We needed the volume of a pie pan, so we used the formula: V = ((3.14*h)/3)(R^2 + Rr + r^2) or V = ((3.14*1)/3)((4.5 * 4.5) + (4.5 * 3.5) + (3.5*3.5)).That equates to about 50 square inches or about 3.5 cups (50.5*0.0693=3.49965 ).
