Good Eats in the Classroom
Are you pondering what I’m pondering?
Probably not, unless you’re pondering the best example of Alton Brown’s Good Eats series to show in a philosophy class tomorrow. But I think I need something to visualize the pragmatist idea of education being connected to life, and while we’re at it, maybe we’ll learn something about ice cream.
And hey, the show earned a Peabody Award. So there has to be some value to it, right?
If this seems like a frivolous post, my apologies. My neck is killing me – I think this storm waged an indirect attack on my spine along with the direct assault on the windows.
About Dave Thomer
Born and raised in Philadelphia. Studied philosophy at Fordham University in the Bronx, where I made many great friends and met my wonderful wife. We moved back to Philadelphia, where I studied philosophy some more and became a teacher. Online and off, I'm looking for ways that we can be better citizens and build stronger communities.

Either that one or the chocolate episode. I think that after spending this past weekend in a certain PA town with kiss-shaped lampposts, you know a bit about chocolate’s abilty to hold people’s attention.
