In the second round, things got a little more complicated with words like "cantata", "barrio" and "cacao" tripping up 26 of the young spellers. Round three opened with just 34 people and by the end only 19 were left. By the time round seven came, just [Chris Sigurdson], Marie Sereneo of St. Charles Catholic School and Patrick Gutowski of Holy Ghost School were left. Marie failed to spell "jococity" correctly, while Patrick missed the word "aperitif". It's especially hard if they misspell a word in the first round because they worked so hard to get here and then they're gone so quickly," she said. "But in the end, it's about the process and about broadening one's knowledge.
Before you make a face, you probably should know you've spent a lifetime consuming bugs in some form. That's because carmine -- a bright red dye derived from cactus-eating cochineal scale insects -- has been used to colour everything from lipstick and paint to candy and cola over the ages. In recent years, vegetarians and people who observe religious diets have complained about consuming bugs in products as innocuous as yogurt, fruit juice and ice cream. Coca-Cola, for example, no longer contains carmine, though it's unclear how much of the potent dye was ever present in the world's most popular pop. Unfortunately for the minority among us who romanticize the use of insects to brighten up beverages, there also doesn't appear to be any carmine in Campari, a bitter Italian aperitif which ...

So what is sake? It's often referred to as rice wine, but the process by which it's made is closer to that of beer. Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from crushing grapes, fruit or other plants, then fermenting their juice and converting the sugar into alcohol. Sake is an alcoholic beverage made from rice -- the rice is milled (not crushed), separating the starch from the oils and protein, which are then fermented -- like wine. The starch is converted to sugar using an enzyme called koji, which is then converted to alcohol. This extra step is what makes the process of making sake more like beer; the latter, however, uses malt for starch conversion. Unlike beer, though, sake isn't carbonated. Either way, sake isn't a drink for the carb-conscious. Sake is also slightly higher in calories...

[Sankar Chatterjee] presented his latest findings on Shiva to the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Portland, Ore., on Oct. 18. He makes a compelling case, identifying an underwater mountain called Bombay High, off the coast of Mumbai, that formed right at the time of the dinosaur extinction. This mountain measures three miles from sea bed to peak, and is surrounded by Shiva's crater rim. Chatterjee's analysis shows that it formed from a sudden upwelling of magma that destroyed the Earth's crust in the area and pushed the mountain upward in a hurry. He argues that no force other than the rebound from an impact could have produced this kind of vertical uplift so quickly. And the blow that caused it would surely have been powerful enough to smash ecosystems around the...

The food is always good, always satisfying and delicious," says [Laura Calder]. "So it's pleasure. There was always a big table of people together. And I think that's it -- eat well, eat great food and it doesn't matter about fat, it doesn't matter about sauces. It really is quality of ingredients and regularity. It's really about the ritual instead of this constant nibble, nibble, nibble, where you have no idea what you've eaten. "I love the vastness of it because it's so codified. There's haute cuisine and there's bistro cuisine and a huge range of styles vertically," she says. "But also horizontally, there's a huge range of regional dishes and imported things like North African flavours or Indian flavours -- whatever things they've incorporated into the cuisine means it's a bottoml...

According to a report on www.decanter.com, a market research company called Wine Intelligence conducted a survey of 3,000 people, and found that many winemaking regions, especially those in the New World (read: outside Europe) aren't generally recognized. Bordeaux and Champagne did well, while Australia's Barossa Valley and New Zealand's Marlborough region were among the least recognized. The next time you pick up a bottle of wine, make note of the region, then do a little research on what they do best in that area. You don't have to visit a winemaking region to learn about its strengths and weaknesses (although it doesn't hurt) -- the Internet has endless resources for those curious about wine regions. From the wineries' own websites to travel blogs to wine publications, there's no sho...

Unfortunately, German Riesling often gets a bad rep. They're thought of as sweet, flabby whites that are a step up from White Zinfandel. Sadly, a lot of what we see in the market today at $12 or less fits that description perfectly. Germany's overwhelming focus on Riesling also fuels the notion that if you've tried one, you've tried them all. Well, last month I tried more than 140 German Rieslings in one week, my friends, and I haven't even come close to trying them all. This is a very good example of a drier Qualit §tswein. It's very pale in colour, with aromas of lemon candy, green peach perfume and mineral. It's 11.5 per cent alcohol -- low in the grand scheme of wines, but relatively high for a German Riesling. Higher alcohol typically means a drier wine, and this is no exception; t...

One of the "exquisite" dishes on offer includes a salad of clams, Dublin Bay prawns, baby chard, rocket leaves, turnip tops and violet petals, "with a dressing of orange and lobster coral" -- a phenomenally creative combination. And that's just the salad. The annual ritual of the pig slaughter, in the rural area of Cáceres, is "of capital importance" to Spain's religious and social history, notes [Paul Richardson]. Richardson's pastoral characterization belies the exhausting amount of work that must be accomplished with precision, because "if the matanza was mishandled, a year's supply of meat might be in jeopardy.
