Word of the Week #313:

Cognoscenti

So, despite what I intended, I never actually got around to making that pineapple jam I mentioned last week.

Instead, I ended up making two more batches of the strawberry jam itself.

One, yeah, I loved it a lot. And since strawberry season is almost over, I wouldn’t have had a chance to make it again if I waited too long. I had no such constraints with the pineapple, at least as far as I could tell.

But more importantly, I wanted to change some of the variables and check the results. I wanted to see if I can improve the recipe I had instinctively stumbled upon.

This is what the scientific method teaches us.

Maybe there is something to be said about mastery, after all.
