Dear Mr. Lamont,


I write for Men's Health, and I've been asked to assemble a piece that
will  
teach the average man how to employ chemistry to improve his life.

Obviously, chemistry plays a huge role in every person's life. But I'm not
 
trying to elucidate the places all around us where chemistry has played a  
beneficial role. Rather, I'm hoping to tell men how they can employ a bit
of  
chemistry themselves in order to improve some aspect of their life.

An example: I've read that a person can "dry age" their own steak at home  
simply by wrapping the meat in cheesecloth and sticking it in the back of
the  
fridge. I'm hoping you could put me in touch with a chemistry teacher who  
could explain the chemistry involved in dry aging that leads to the flavor
 
improvement, as well as four more ways that men can employ chemistry to
make  
their lives (or food) better.

My deadline on this piece is this Thursday the 12th of July. I'd be
grateful  
if someone could get back to me before then. I'm happy to communicate by  
phone or email. Also, I've sent this request to Lorraine Kelly as well.

Thank you very much for your help. Sincerely,

Markham Heid
