Facts from last week.

This past week has been really busy and I have learned a lot. Some from classes that I am taking, and others from experiences. I will start off with the biggest thing I learned yesterday.

Don't ever season your Dutch Oven inside an regular oven in the middle of winter. It is just bad for the lungs, and your health all around. So I hadn't seasoned my Dutch Oven until Monday. About 30 minutes into it the whole apartment was filled with smoke. We had to open the windows and doors to get the smoke out. Our apartment went from 68 to about 40 in a very short time. It was cold. With stuff I learned from doing things with a Dutch Oven is how to make cobbler. Don't do what I did. You won't get a cobbler, but a cake instead. It was still really good, but I have learned a few things. One is don't use a quick home made apple pie filling. There just isn't enough moisture. Oh, and don't open the lid on the cobbler before it is don't it could ruin the cobbler. Luckily for me there wasn't enough moisture to make it soupy when I opened the lid.

I also learned this past week that the "Lectures on Faith" at one point were in the Doctrine and Covenants. They were taken out in 1921 because they hadn't been presented to the church as doctrine. It was just a lesson in the School of the Prophets. I thought that was cool.

I have also been learning about thermodynamics. It is really interesting. It is funny that we say that water is incompressible. It is but it only compresses a little bit. In fact so a small amount that it is really hard to tell. That is why we say that it is incompressible.
