LINK: TAE

This is not a food blog, but a bit of nepotism. My cousin is in Oxford right now and has started a blog about her adventures there. In sonnet form, no less.

She is a super-genius, you guys. She is smarter than I am, and I don't say that often, because I like to think I am smarter than pretty much everyone, except for maybe Einstein and Thomas Pynchon and my husband. Not only that, but she looks like a supermodel and is getting her MBA. In other words, she should totally go on The Apprentice. She even kind of looks like Ivanka, so I know she would win. And you totally want to marry her now. I'll accept your offers, but can't guarantee anything.

So go to her blog: TAE.

Wow... thanks for the link and all the nice commentary. And my mom thanks you for trying to pimp me out. Your blog is very interesting, but it is making me hungry and you have to spend a lot of money to get good food around here...

RESTAURANT: Ristorante Belvedere, Monterosso al Mare, Italy

We started off our second-to-last day in the Cinque Terre by taking the train to Vernazza for breakfast: There was supposed to be a market that day, but since the weather was threatening, there were only a few meager stalls, mostly selling non-food items. We had our breakfast and walked around the village a bit. Vernazza used to have a river flowing all the way through it, but now the river has been shunted underground at a certain point. If you walk to the top of town you can see it, along with some ducks and geese that hang out there to get fed by whoever comes along. J. and I then went to sit and have an espresso and wait for the train to Corniglia, the only town we hadn't yet visited. Corniglia is home to the local nude beach (which we skipped) and is the highest of the towns, elevation-wise. We had to walk up a buttload of steps to get there. Look at me go: That's actually me going down (a lot faster than I came up), but I did come up them as well. There is a bus that ta...

INFO+RECIPE: Isaac Brock: Rock Musician, Chef

MODEST MOUSE Modest Mouse is not my favorite band. It is one of those bands that everyone around me loves and I am overwhelmingly indifferent to. I can think of one song of theirs that I like. I saw them live one time and came away with the impression that I like the music, the vocals just leave a lot to be desired. That vocalist is Isaac Brock. Isaac Brock has never come off as a nice person to me, when reading his interviews about music. I'd basically written him off as a bad vocalist, and arrogant twat. Then, I read an interview with him in the Believer . The interview was not about music, it was about food, and cooking. And I was shocked. It was like I was reading about a whole different person. A person I liked and wanted to know. A person like me. I discovered that he was born a mere two days before me. If astrology has anything to say about it, then he probably IS a person like me. Not quite the same ... that two days mak...
