However combining me with a kitchen often equals near death experiences. I loved the pictures and descriptions :) This entry almost inspired me to cook!

This won't show up on Last.FM, not yet anyway, but it's a commercial-free streaming site. It's all downtempo, housey-type music, good for cocktails and background noise when grading or otherwise pretending to work. I've had my head stuck in it for about a week now. It's at http://groovera.com/, but you should be able to stream it through whatever system you're using. And the latest Lost blog post is up; this one took some real digging....

The cake traveled to Escafe, where passers by gazed enviously at its cream cheese frosting--and even more enviously at the beautiful group of fabulous friends who made my 26th--yes, I'm saying it, my 26th--a memorable and magical occasion.

Felski's work was very smart, as usual, and I imagine I'll be enchanted (one of the key verbs) by the book. I made a crystallized ginger and caramelized pear upside-down cake to go with her "Unmanifesto." Congrats on the blog's increasing popularity---I look forward to reading the interview. I could ask you where you found the time to write a book, but I wouldn't be foolish enough to intimate either of us is bound by time or space. Oh, and the trepidation I mentioned at the beginning of this post stemmed from knowing how important one picture can be, having just watched Des stare into the street photographer's snapshot and, well, get lost.

Is there much editing involved? This post dives into its content and swims around like an oregano flake in those lonely tomatoes. And thanks again for taking the headshots. I can only wonder what the trepidation was about. The blog is now picking up a little steam (it seems one of the actors posted), and USA Today got in on the act; the 2/21 edition should have an interview. And I appreciate how you've woven the Lost theme into the food writing. That first B/W photo -- I've seen my brothers give that same howler-monkey look, but that's the first time I've seen it on my mug. I guess I am one of them. And let me say that I also appreciated the bacon ice cream at the Chinese New Year's party. Never, ever did I conceive of putting meat into ice cream. It was a food experience up there with street meals in Guadalajara; delicious in a unique way. Some day I might ask you about a pizza recipe I've been working on for about five years now. The sauce is clam-based (buster based?). When I came down here and learned no one knows from real thin-crust pizza, I took it upon myself to make my own, but I've not had feedback from a true foodie. How was Felski? I'd been looking forward to that, and got stuck covering a Writing Center shift. It goes with the assistant director territory.
