Market Closing
Today was the last day of the season for the farmer’s market, so I stocked up on a few items. I tried to buy something from each vendor to encourage them to return next summer. It’s a good thing we … Continue reading
The Beginning of a Great Adventure
Sixteen years ago today, Diane and I were married at Dwight Chapel at Yale University. After months of wrangling and planning a ceremony and reception that remained firmly in our control, the actual day itself was a blur, full of … Continue reading
Error: Client Not Found
I lost a web site client today. I didn’t get a “we’re going a different way” email, there was no phone call informing me that my services were no longer required. In fact, I didn’t speak to the client at … Continue reading
Inside Tony’s Head
Anthony Bourdain has turned to the realm of animation to purge the demons that plague his sick, twisted mind. The level of insult he’s permitted with No Reservations isn’t sufficient to express his true thoughts about some aspects of the … Continue reading
Messing with a Beloved Cultural Icon
At the end of August 1977 I packed everything I owned into the family Toyota, which Dad drove all the way to Cambridge, Massachusetts. I was heading to MIT, and as we got closer to our destination I could barely … Continue reading

Market Selection
Natural selection is in full force at the market this week, having winnowed out any vendors that don’t sell root vegetables, baked goods, or meat. As usual, I needed all of those things, so I did my part to provide … Continue reading
Chocolate, or Shinola?
Taza Chocolate sent me an email today announcing the availability of this year’s Special Edition Stone Ground Chiapan Chocolate. I’ve tasted last year’s edition (is “edition” really the appropriate description for a short-run foodstuff?), it’s definitely good chocolate, but the … Continue reading
Science and the Deity
Not the Deity, Mr. Deity. If you haven’t heard of him, visit his web site and get caught up on his doings. Recently he’s been looking for a science advisor, and may have found one in PZ Meyers, biologist and … Continue reading
Market Shift
Apples and squash everywhere, snow yesterday morning — it must be fall in new England. I was hit with a nasty cold this week, which kept me out of the kitchen for a few days, so I still have most … Continue reading
