A man in the kitchen: choices, choices, choices

MITK4-t These Americans are crazy. A thought I had on more than one occasion during my visit to the country last November. Having spent a sublime week in the Napa Valley and Sonoma taking a look at the Californian wine industry, I headed north east for South Ogden, Utah – which is a short distance north of Salt Lake City, hard up against the Rocky Mountains – to visit with family.

Tick tock … the Doomsday Clock

Lifestyle Section

The Doomsday Clock was advanced by one minute this month. The time now stands at five minutes to midnight. A year ago, it was put back one minute, to six minutes to midnight. Conceptualised in  1947 during the Cold War by the board of directors of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists at the University of Chicago, the metaphorical clock depicts how close civilisation is to oblivion.
