Delicious AND mathematical!

I know there are quite a few of you out there who will be interested in this for one reason or another: Sierpinski cookies!

The recommended recipe sounds delicious, and it's super nerdy--I'm planning to make some next week!

Don't know if I'll ever have the patience for this, but it does look like fun!

When I saw the subject line, I did wonder if you were going to link to this video...admittedly I wasn't sure why it'd count as "delicious" as such other than the title of the song being sort of like that, but the original song title is just as stupid!

Brilliant! In fact, I'm going to try to make them this week--maybe I'll get some food coloring…

LQ, that video made my day!

That man just used the words "fractal" and "lovely" in the same sentence. I had to go lie down for a bit, it was all too shocking.

I've been lurking for a while... Here, I brought everyone some non-fractal cookies to eat.
