So, who the f is Mira?
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I’m Mira. The crazy nonsensical mind behind MiraUncut.
I’m a twenty something human being living in Michigan. I pretend to be smart and go to medical school at Wayne State Uni in Detroit. In my not so spare time, you can find me in the kitchen playing with food, mainly Molecular Gastronomy & Middle Eastern food. I love to bring my love for science, physics and chemistry into the food realm. I’m also lucky, since I have found the piece that completes my soul. My hubby Samer. He keeps me grounded otherwise I would be in lala land. We love to explore the gorgeous outdoors Michigan has to offer, the ruins and monuments of Detroit and the great restaurants the area has.
Want to ask me something? Go ahead. Shoot! You can ask in the comments below, or shoot me an email at mirauncut [at] gmail [dot] com. (P.S. If you spam me, I will find you and sprinkle hot sauce in your eye)
always uncut,
mira

Give you LOTS of credit to even consider medicine – I don't do so well with blood and other bodily fluids.
And, about me…I live in VA now with my hubby and daughter, but I was born and raised in Hawaii. So, I misssss the beach.

Hehe, yeah, I use to hate spit. Then, I had a child – after awhile, you get immune.

Home is a fab place…. Going in to medicine, esp the ER, takes….. I don't know.. guts, cause I can'T even handle the smallest thing.. even hate getting my period…
Will you go back to med school, or go into research?

i'm still in medskool. going into my 3rd year. i cant stand research honestly. ive never had a problem with morbid things. kinda like em in a way, and i always feel on a high in the ER.lol. especially in down town detroit. craziness. I never want to regret anything, and seeing as my school loans are already mounting(100K already),lol, i want to finish, at least my M.D. in the meantime, this blog is my baby, and i wont be neglecting it as much soon

Good intro

Wow, I am so impressed with the step by step photos. I've always been intrigued with molecular gastronomy but have yet to try anything, even though I was a chemist for years! This looks fun!

thx jen
u definitely should. its tons of fun just trying to figure things out. i mean almost never does it work the way u want the first time, and its fun tweaking and taking notes and planning and thinking and agonizing. my notebook is filled with failures but once in a while its like a aha moment and it feels amazing. should be easy for u since ur a chemist!love ur blog

I took a date to Oslo last night for dinner and was totally underwhelmed. Although the place was almost empty the service was terrible. The food was nothin special and the prices were tooo high. $54 for twwo with no drinks. I won’t be going back.

Man, thats too expensive. What did you guys order? I like Oslo, but only if you steer clear of the sushi. I had a different experience with the waitstaff…but I have only been there once. Also, just FYI they usually have restaurant.com coupons so you can get a really good deal.
