what is often called "primordial ooze" or "primordial soup," the sort of habitat where life might have originated on Earth or elsewhere. As I stared at the oatmeal I remember algae-laden hot springs seen in Yellowstone and Lassen Parks, among other places, and imagined the famous Miller-Urey experiment being done in nature rather than in the lab. If I could control these stove-top experiences better, it seems like they'd have lots of potential for high school lab simulations. I hope this doesn't cause anyone to lose interest in eating their oatmeal. It's really good for you!
