We want to be sure that it has that drama to it, that vividness to it, that focus, that cleanliness to it that is going to say something to you. (Thomas Keller)

EXTRACTION III
Okay, so lately I have been hitting Sage Vegan Bistro often. That's what happens when you get injured and can't cook for yourself. Anyway, I came upon this amazing vegan creation by accident. This is the last thing I would have ever ordered on the Sage menu. I am not a big fan of foods that imitate the very foods I no longer eat. Even when I used to eat meat, I would rarely be tempted to order a bacon chili cheeseburger. Well, the waiter at Sage gave me the wrong order. I had ordered their Chipotle Burger and got this instead. As I was eating it I wondered why it tasted so much like a Tommy's Chili Cheeseburger. It did not taste like chipotle at all. I was so hungry that I didn't really think about it much longer until I got the check and realized I had eaten a Bacon Chili Cheeseburger, vegan of course. Well, it was a good thing the waiter made this mistake because I would have probably never ordered this. It was one great meal, like a Tommy's Chili Cheeseburger minus the bloating, acid reflux, flatulence, saturated fat, salt, and guilt.
Here's what's in the burger: tempeh bacon, homemade black bean chili, harissa, and sundried tomato cashew cheese, white bean and roasted pepper patty, homemade spicy dill pickles, lettuce, heirloom tomato, red onion, and garlic aioli.

SUNDIAL SANDSTONE AND HOURGLASS
“When you acknowledge, as you must, that there is no such thing as perfect food, only the idea of it, then the real purpose of striving toward perfection becomes clear: to make people happy, that is what cooking is all about.”

EXTRACTION II
In case you can't already tell, Sage Vegan Bistrois my new favorite spot. This is what I ordered the first time I dinned there. It is their Vietnamese Salad. It's served with thin strips of spicy seitan, red pepper, carrot, crimini mushrooms, lemon mint, and thai basil topped with cucumbers on baby greens and served with a ginger sesame dressing and tahini. If that does not make your mouth water then your taste buds must be flavor impaired. The spicy seitan is the best I've had thus far. You may want to ask them to go a little easy on the ginger sesame dressing. It's just another great meal from Sage.

EXTRACTION I
Now I’ll be blunt, we were starving. And that made Sage’s menu even more amazing, although it’s already pretty crazy on it’s own. Unlike Kind Kreme, the restaurant will offer some raw items, but not all. Melisser described it best when she said the menu had been prepared by someone who had “done their homework.” It’s kind of a combination of all the vegan delicacies from the eateries we all know and love. There’s jack fruit a la Pure Luck. A black bean and plantain panini reminiscent of my favorite Millennium dish, the black bean torte. Tacos and a soyrizo burrito that reminded me of Real Food Daily. The sides and salads are fit for M Cafe. Another treat was being able to order from both the lunch and dinner menus. The lunch menu offers a varied selection of burgers, paninis and salads, plus appetizers and soups. The dinner menu includes pasta dishes, “bowls”, and daiya pizzas.

ISOTOPIC HANDS HELD
[edit]Gravitational confinement
Main article: Stellar nucleosynthesis
One force capable of confining the fuel well enough to satisfy the Lawson criterion is gravity. The mass needed, however, is so great that gravitational confinement is only found in stars–the least massive stars capable of sustained fusion are red dwarfs, while brown dwarfs are able to fuse deuterium and lithium if they are of sufficient mass. In stars heavy enough, after the supply of hydrogen is exhausted in their cores, their cores (or a shell around the core) start fusing helium to carbon. In the most massive stars (at least 8–11 solar masses), the process is continued until some of their energy is produced by fusing lighter elements to iron. As iron has one of the highest binding energies, reactions producing heavier elements are generally endothermic. Therefore significant amounts of heavier elements are not formed during stable periods of massive star evolution, but are formed in supernova explosions. Some lighter stars also form these elements in the outer parts of the stars over long periods of time, by absorbing energy from fusion in the inside of the star, by absorbing neutrons that are emitted from the fusion process.
All of the elements heavier than iron have some potential energy to release, in theory. At the extremely heavy end of element production, these heavier elements can produce energy in the process of being split again back toward the size of iron, in the process of nuclear fission. Nuclear fission thus releases energy which has been stored, sometimes billions of years before, during stellar nucleosynthesis.

CATATONIA INDIFFERENTIUM
fu·sion (fyzhn)
n.
1. The act or procedure of liquefying or melting by the application of heat.
2. The liquid or melted state induced by heat.
3.
a. The merging of different elements into a union: the fusion of copper and zinc to form brass; the difficult fusion of conflicting political factions.
b. A union resulting from fusing: A fusion of religion and politics emerged.
4. Physics A nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy.
5. Music that blends jazz elements and the heavy repetitive rhythms of rock. Also called jazz-fusion, jazz-rock.
6. A style of cooking that combines ingredients and techniques from very different cultures or countries.
[Latin fsi, fsin-, from fsus, past participle of fundere, to melt; see gheu- in Indo-European roots.]
