Open letter: Move the conference online
I'm currently helping organize the MAA Intermountain Sectional meeting at Westminster College on March 27-28. Here's an open letter about why I think we should move the conference online; I'm sending this letter to the local organizer Jonas D'Andrea and a couple of other people in section leadership. I think more people than just us will benefit from reading this argument, though, which is why I'm blogging it as well.

Sourdough pizza dough
Recipe modified from here. I find that it makes two personal size, or else you can double this recipe and get three pretty nice-size shells.
- 1 1/2 C mature starter (350g; feed 8-10 hours before starting)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (10g)
- 1 Tbsp sugar (10g) – this helps it brown
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 C bread flour (200g)

Peach upside-down brown butter cornbread
It's the beginning of the college football season, I'm going to my brother's house tonight to watch the game, so I wanted to make something good. I love peaches and I love cake but sometimes cakes are too sweet. So, I thought cornbread might be nice, because it's sweet but not too sweet. I hacked together the following recipe by combining the Serious Eats brown-butter cornbread recipe with a sort of generic upside-down cake method.
