A Cooking Thread?
Barmymoo:
Mmmm I just made an experimental recipe that I was dubious about and it is delicious. It's called rice lentil polou and comes from Laurel's Kitchen (one of my favourite cookbooks) and there's a variant of it here. I used vegetable stock and no pine nuts, and ras el hanout instead of cinnamon. Served it with peas because I forgot to do green veg and that was the quickest thing to cook. Oh and I topped it with vegan mozzarella, nom nom nom.

Isn't that a tiny theoretical molecule that could destroy the Earth?

Dairy. It is truly the most dangerous of all the food groups.

Nope. Let's go over to Professor GM for a brief explanation shall we?
A quark is an elementary particle and fundamental building block of all matter. Quarks team up to form giant robots err... composite particles called hadrons (HADrons. Perverts.) the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei.
You're probably thinking of the Higgs boson, who's discovery was announced by CERN on 4 July 2012 after being proposed in 1964. This is very important because it helps validate some of the untested areas of Standard Model physics. The boson itself isn't dangerous, in fact theoretically we're filled with them. The "danger" from the Higgs Boson was more centered around people who thought turning on the LHC would somehow generate a black hole. (A neat party trick)
The other possibility is anti-matter. Which is a whole other ball game that might be best explained by Montgomery Scott. (Also not theoretical just rare and dangerous)

So if you're baking biscuits (cookies) and all you have is strong white bread flour, you probably don't need to use any baking powder. On the plus side my oat-raisin biscuits look super fluffy!
