Geoffrey F. Miller (born 1965), Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of New Mexico, is an American evolutionary psychologist.Miller is a 1987 graduate of Columbia University, where he earned a B.A. in biology and psychology.

He received his PhD in cognitive psychology from Stanford University in 1993 under the guidance of Roger N. Shepard. He was a postdoctoral researcher in the evolutionary and adaptive systems group in the School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences at the University of Sussex, UK (1992–94); Lecturer in the Department of Psychology, University of Nottingham (1995);

Research Scientist at the Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition, Max Planck Institute for Psychological Research, Munich, Germany (1995–96); Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Economic Learning and Social Evolution,

University College London (1996–2000); he has worked at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, since 2001, where he is now Associate Professor. In 2009, he was Visiting Scientist, Genetic Epidemiology Group, Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane, Australia.

 The starting point for Miller's work was Darwin's theoretical observation that evolution is driven not just by natural selection, but by the process called sexual selection. In support of his views on sexual selection, he has written The Mating Mind: How sexual choice shaped the evolution of human nature.

This revives and extends Darwin's suggestion that sexual selection through mate choice has been critical in human mental evolution—especially the more "self-expressive" aspects of human behavior, such as art, morality, language, and creativity. Identifying the survival value of these traits has proved elusive, but their adaptive design features do suggest that they evolved through mutual mate-choice by both sexes to advertise intelligence, creativity, moral character and heritable fitness.

The supporting evidence includes human mate preferences, courtship behavior, behavior genetics, psychometrics, and life history patterns. The theory makes many testable predictions, and sheds new light on human cognition, motivation, communication, sexuality, and cultureMiller believes that our minds evolved not as survival machines, but as courtship machines, and proposes that the human mind's most impressive abilities are courtship tools that evolved to attract and entertain sexual partners.

 By switching from a survival-centred to a courtship-centred view of evolution, he attempts to show how we can understand the mysteries of mind. The main competing theories of human mental evolution are selection for generalist foraging ability (i.e., hunting and gathering), as embodied in the work of researchers such as Hillard Kaplan and Kim Hill at the University of New Mexico, and selection for social intelligence, as argued by Andrew Whiten, Robin Dunbar, and Simon Baron-Cohen.

He has published on visual perception, cognition, learning, robotics, neural networks, genetic algorithms, human mate-choice, evolutionary game theory, and the origins of language, music, culture, intelligence, ideology and consciousness. He studies human mental adaptations for judgment, decision-making, strategic behavior and communication in social and sexual domains.

Apart from mutual mate-choice and sexual selection theory, this includes work on:human mental traits as fitness indicators (reliable cues of underlying phenotypic traits and genetic quality);social attribution heuristics, as adapted to the statistical structure of individual differences (including genetic and phenotypic covariances);animate motion perception mechanisms, as adapted to typical patterns of intentional movement; andconsumer behavior (applications of evolutionary psychology in product design and aesthetics, marketing, advertising, branding, and the use of genetic algorithims for interactive online product design).

The best known Ethiopian cuisine consists of various vegetable or meat side dishes and entrees, usually a wat, or thick stew, served atop injera, a large sourdough flatbread made of teff flour. One does not eat with utensils, but instead uses injera to scoop up the entrees and side dishes.Injera (Amharic, Tigrinya:, pronounced [ɨndʒəra], sometimes transliterated enjera; Oromo: budenaa; Somali: canjeero) is a yeast-risen flatbread with a unique, slightly spongy texture. Traditionally made out of teff flour, it is a national dish in Ethiopia and Eritrea. A similar variant is eaten in Somalia (where it is called canjeero or lahooh) and Yemen (where it is known as lahoh).The most valued grain used to make injera is from the tiny, iron-rich teff. However, its production is limited to certain middle elevations and regions with adequate rainfall, so it is relatively expensive for the average household. Because the overwhelming majority of highland Ethiopians are poor farming households that grow their own subsistence grain, wheat, barley, corn, and/or rice flour are sometimes used to replace some or all of the teff content. There are also different varieties of injera in Ethiopia, such as nech (white), kay (red) and tikur (black). In making injera, teff flour is mixed with water and allowed to ferment for several days, as with sourdough starter. As a result of this process, injera has a mildly sour taste. The injera is then ready to bake into large flat pancakes, done either on a specialized electric stove or, more commonly, on a clay plate (Amharic mittad, Tigrinya mogogo) placed over a fire. Unusual for a yeast bread, the dough has sufficient liquidity to be poured onto the baking surface, rather than rolled out. In terms of shape, injera compares to the French crepe and the South Indian dosai as a flatbread cooked in a circle and used as a base for other foods. The taste and texture, however, are quite unique and unlike the crepe and dosai. The bottom surface of the injera, which touches the heating surface, will have a relatively smooth texture, while the top will become porous. This porous structure allows the injera to be a good bread to scoop up sauces and dishes. 

Kitcha fit-fit, a mainstay in Eritrean cuisine, is presented with a scoop of fresh yoghurt and topped with berbere (spice).Fit-fit is an Eritrean and Ethiopian food typically served for breakfast (though it can be served with other meals). It is generally made with tesmi (spiced clarified butter) and sometimes also with berbere, in which case it is called fir-fir. In some cases various oils or butters are substituted for clarified butter; however, the difference in taste is notable. There are two major varieties of fit-fit, injera (or taita) and kitcha (or kita).

Injera fit-fit

Injera fit-fit (also taita fit-fit in Tigrinya) is a combination of shredded injera, berbere, onions and clarified butter. Variations on this basic recipe are common, in which the name of the additional item is used as a prefix. For instance, if one were to add shiro (chickpeas puree), the resulting dish would be called shiro fit-fit.Injera fit-fit can be eaten with either a spoon (which is not typical in Eritrean or Ethiopian cuisine) or another piece of injera.

Kitcha fit-fit

Kitcha fit-fit (or kita fit-fit; also known as chechebsa) is a combination of shredded kitcha (or kita), berbere, and clarified butter. Kitcha fit-fit is sometimes eaten with plain yogurt.Unlike most Eritrean and Ethiopian foods, kitcha fit-fit is eaten with a utensil (usually a spoon). A dry variation is called kitcha (or kita) fir-fir. 

The strip steak is a type of cut of beef steaks. Internationally it is called a club steak. In the United States and Canada it is also known as strip loin, shell steak, Kansas City strip or New York strip steak. Cut from the short loin, the strip steak consists of a muscle that does little work, and so it is particularly tender, though not as tender as the nearby rib eye or tenderloin (fat content of the strip is somewhere between these two cuts). Unlike the nearby tenderloin, the short loin is a sizable muscle, allowing it to be cut into the larger portions.When still attached to the bone, and with a piece of the tenderloin also included, the strip steak becomes a T-bone steak or a Porterhouse steak, the difference being that the Porterhouse has a larger portion of tenderloin included. The strip steak can be sold with or without the bone, but bone-in strips are generally better because they are usually thicker, and the bone conveys heat to the steak during cooking. Strip steaks can be substituted for most recipes calling for T-bone and porterhouse steaks, and sometimes for fillet and rib eye steaks.- 2 New York steaks- 2 garlic cloves- 1/2 cup crushed crackers- 2 tbsp olive oil- 5 tbsp Dijon mustard- 1 tsp parsley- Salt and pepper to tasteDirections:Preheat barbecue grill to high heat. Chop the garlic and mix it in a bowl with crushed crackers, olive oil, parsley, salt, pepper and Dijon mustard. Cover all sides of the New York steaks with the garlic mixture.Sear all sides of the New York steaks on grill for 1-2 minutes. Reduce grill heat to medium-high and allow each side of the New York Steak to cook for 5-10 minutes.

The principal cooking style in Puerto Rican cuisine is called “cocina criolla”, which literally means Creole cooking. Most Americans will associate Creole cooking with Louisiana’s Cajun cuisine, but that’s not the case here. In the Spanish speaking islands, “criollo” refers to Spanish Americans of European descent. Hence, “cocina criolla” is the cuisine created by the European (mostly Spanish) colonists using their traditional recipes coalesced with native Caribbean foods and cooking styles. Consequently, you will find both native and Spanish influences, cooking techniques, and ingredients in Puerto Rican cuisine.
