I got myself this Trader Joe’s Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask as a consolation prize last weekend because I went up and down every single aisle and scanned every shelf, but I couldn’t find my beloved Rose Oil Hand Cream, boo-hoo! So I got this thinking, “Yay! This will tide me over, and whatevs — it’s only $3.99, so it’s not the end of the world if I don’t like it.” Girlfriend.

Croissant-ologyVia Physics Today: The fat in a perfect croissant (PDF)Image caption: Croissants are appealingly flaky because of the types of fats, called roll-in fats, that are used to make them. (a) Roll-in fats respond differently to being deformed than do all-purpose fats. The plots show how internal forces (stress is force per unit area) develop as a fat is periodically deformed (strain is the amplitude of the relative size increase) at an angular frequency of 3.6 radians per second.
