Take a welcome detour through microbiology and nanotechnology with Roger Penrose on our search for the missing science of consciousness.
When Penrose discusses computer programmes that solve chess problems by calculating several moves ahead, it occurs to me (and not for the first time) that this is why I have never liked chess: my mind is constantly, and involuntarily, engaged in this type of thinking all the time anyway, the last thing I want is to encourage more thinking like this, for fun, when I don't have to. This is doubtless why I am so easily beaten at chess by people who don't necessarily think like this all the time (Andrea, PCH ), and also why I am vulnerable to leisure activities that explicitly prevent this kind of thinking (and I'm talking, here, about alcohol - alcohol, and not drugs in general: I disllike marijuana for the same reason I dislike chess).

So my quick green chicken curry didn't turn out like the picture. For a start it wasn't green, but a sort of nondescript, oatmealy colour, a bit like dog vomit. Plus, the chicken was a couple of days past its use-by date and the jar of green curry paste had mould all around the edge. My kitchen y'all! Tasted OK, though...

glad your curry was edible. mine comes from jars or take-out, usually. too bad about the color.
