Had a phenomenal dinner at Akoko, a fine dining West African restaurant in London. French cooking and saucing techniques with Senegalese, Nigerian, and Ghanaian flavors. Also lovely front of house.
Very exciting meal, one of the best I've had in years. Run by Aji Akokomi, current chef is Mutaro Balde. These flavors are terrific and don't normally get the fine dining treatment, a real pleasure to enjoy.
Everything was great but our favorite dish was thin ribbons of squid in a sauce with coriander and a meaningful chile heat.

10 lost works of Canadian art you'll wish you could see

Kinda thinking that at least one of these could see a comeback - albeit maybe not as an art installation so much as a reflection of a new Canadian-US relationship

Putting rum in a porridge jaffle seems destined to win over the judges

Australian wins with a jaffle at World Porridge Making Championship
An oatmeal-filled jaffle made by a Melbourne food stylist and flavoured with Bundaberg Rum and bananas wins over judges in Scotland.

The most exquisite peak in culinary art is conquered when you do right by a
ham, for a ham, in the very nature of the process it has undergone since last
it walked on its own feet, combines in its flavor the tang of smoky autumnal
woods, the maternal softness of earthy fields delivered of their crop children,
the wineyness of a late sun, the intimate kiss of fertilizing rain, and the
bite of fire. You must slice it thin, almost as thin as this page you hold

The only flavour of decentralisation there’s no room for at FOSDEM is the kind that won’t speak at a conference that allows itself to be sponsored by, and thereby whitewashes, a surveillance capitalist like Google that is complicit in Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

CP-conserving SO(3) parameterization of the neutrino mixing matrix
The pattern of neutrino mixing, usually parameterized by the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata $U_{\rm PMNS}$ matrix, still remains a striking puzzle in particle physics. $U_{\rm PMNS}$ is one of six possible products of multiplying three Euler matrices. Here we discuss the neutrino mixing matrix parameterization for three known flavours of neutrinos based on the SO(3) group represented by one three-dimensional rotation matrix $U_{\rm SO3}$. The mixing matrix $U_{\rm SO3}$ with cyclic order of th…

Prospects for compact hexaquarks under the limitation imposed by quark confinement
The limitation of flavor constituents for compact multiquarks is crucial for understanding the strong interaction at the low energy scale. Utilizing the MIT bag model that incorporates perturbative interactions and confinement energy $E_{\rm CON}$, we derive a critical bag radius $R_c=5.61\,$GeV$^{-1}$ from the condition $E_{\rm CON} < 0$ at zero temperature and zero baryon density, which aligns with the string-breaking distance of 1.2--1.4$\,$fm. Applying this framework to 6-, 7-, and 8-quark …

Surveying the complex three Higgs doublet model with Machine Learning
The couplings of the 125 GeV Higgs are being measured with higher precision as the Run 3 stage of LHC continues. Models with multiple Higgs doublets allow potential deviations from the SM predictions. For more than two doublets, there are five possible types of models that avoid flavor changing neutral couplings at tree level by the addition of a symmetry. We consider a softly broken Z2xZ2 three-Higgs doublet model with explicit CP violation in the scalar sector, exploring all five possible typ…
