I have a mind that never stops. Maybe some of you do, too; I don't know. In my case, I'm often coming up with ideas for "new things." Years before Microsoft patented the idea, I thought of flooding the internet with false data about people in order to interfere with data harvesters who are databasing everything they can about us. When I saw that fashionable people had moved from plain skin, to tattoos, to piercings, to split-tongues and tattooed eyes, I tried to guess how a future generation will out-gross the present one. I came up with ZIPPERS for the skin, so you can literally open yourself up at parties and family get-togethers. It hasn't happened yet. I don't know why. Yesterday I figured I was on to something big with SLOW COOKERS (aka crock-pots) that you can microwave... to get rid of that tedious wait time. Hmm. With the alcohol becoming but a dim memory, I'm no longer so sure about that one.

Today, with my wife away, I'm cooking plain okra for the first time. Oh, I've had okra plenty of times, usually at Chinese restaurants where it's deep-fried and tastes more like the batter than the vegetable. What I've made today is plain, just a 1-lb bag from the freezer - pulled, along with other things, to make room for an upcoming turkey. I threw the cut okra into a microwave, added a little butter, and voila. It's got an interesting taste. It's a little slimey, but not half bad.

As I'm eating this stuff that I've never really had before, what I'm wondering is why scientists aren't working to invent new flavors. Now, I'm not talking about new flavors like you get when you put Italian seasoning on chicken. I mean REALLY new flavors, as different from chicken as an orange is. You have to admit, there's no amount of anything that you can combine to get what an orange tastes like. So why isn't science tackling this? Mother Nature obviously did. It seems like a whole new branch of science that someone enterprising (and successful) could make a fortune from.
