Happy Memorial Day
Yesterday was the barbecue. Today I’m spending studying to get my dang California drivers license back tomorrow. TEN YEARS I held on to that dang thing as I bounced around the country. JUST TWO YEARS AGO I finally gave in and got a Washington license. Tch. And digging a hole. I hope to spend some [...]

I’d Like to Thank My Mother and Dr King For Making This Day Possible
<br/><br/> I had the day off today (Peter didn’t haha) and my mother took Baby for a walk in the warm January sunshine so I did some dishes, got my car washed, did some shopping and had a “strawberry romanoff” from La Baguette, pictured.

Peter Recommends CXXIX
Industrial kitchens are CRAZY. Vincent Talleu: Croissants I’ve made croissants before (it turned out well but was definitely one of those things that, having done it, I’m happy to let others do it for me) and he’s actually doing it right. These ain’t no (or shouldn’t be no) limp supermarket pastries.

Absolutely the Funniest Item of the Day CCLIV
Brief note: I love the Sunday Times iPad app. Honestly, everybody should subscribe to the paywall (it’s not that hard paying, oh children of the interweb), buy an iPad (I mean you should all have one of these anyway; just ask Half) download each edition of the Sunday Times free with your paywall subscription and [...]

Christmas Confession:
I really, really want to eat at a Chinese restaurant on Christmas day some time, just to see what it’s really like. Does that make me a bad Catholic? A tourist of American Judaism?

THIS DOESN’T MAKE IT BETTER
Some of you may remember a few weeks ago my TOTAL FREAKOUT on Twitter when Janice Dickinson posted pictures of the ducklings and chicks that hatched from the eggs her son incubated. Eggs from Sainsbury’s. Organic eggs, out of a refrigerator, intended for cracking into a frying pan. BEGAT LIFE. Well she’s written about the [...]

Good Restaurants and Design-Led Hotels
A restaurant review in The Times: Giles Coren reviews Brasserie Joël, London SE1 What preposterous gastronomic oxymoron to serve such stellar names of old rural France in this wizened prepuce of an urban planner’s foetid, guilty nightmare? I love it.

On North Korea and Relative Harms
The Times – Sometimes peace does more damage than war The other point is this. At the end of the Korean War, we agreed that the division of Korea should persist. Despite North Korea’s aggression — including blatant acts of war, including the possession of nuclear weapons — the West does not plan military action [...]

I Guess Jamie Oliver Isn’t a Tory
I saw that kerfuffle play out on Twitter and I must say, I got the impression that if he was, he’d be hailed as visionary by the new government. It seemed like that kind of snipe. The Times – Janice Turner: It was a supersize gaffe to diss Jamie, minister About that column: I concur. [...]
