I rode a fair amount today so I finally felt justified in eating the infamous Double Down. Apparently you can get them in grilled form too, but if you’re going to KFC, you may as well go all out. The couple in front of me briefly considered mixing the “buns” and getting one grilled patty [...]

The May 2010 issue of Scientific American has an article about carbohydrates causing obesity. This article isn’t anything new to some of the folks who read my blog, but I’m happy to see that good science is finally starting to displace bad. Some good quotes: Other conclusions of the past few years run counter to [...]
Slate today had an article entitled Is Your Veggie Burger Killing You?, which is a response to the recent soy-food hexane-scare. How worried should soy foodies be? Maybe a tiny bit, but only because of the lack of data. The article then goes on to say things like: The hexane limits are precautionary. No study [...]

Total cook time including prep is less than 30 minutes, and total cost is less than $5 per person per meal. Ingredients from store $4 – one package chicken thighs, look [...]

Slicing a sliver of delicioso. Traditional Spanish breakfast: a full cup of chocolate with churros. No, I also don’t know why the entire country hasn’t died of diabetes yet. Absolutely delightful. Beep! Back for a few days and I’m already missing eating tapas for every meal.
Did I mention that I love jamón ibérico? The red glasses contain a drink known as tinto de verano, which consists of ice cubes, red wine, and seltzer water. It’s actually much better than it sounds, and not to be confused with a kalimotxo.
I’ve been reading a friend’s foodie blog ever since Potlatch last year, and now I’m passing it along to you, dear readers. You get a taste of Seattle and the lovely understated writing of a poet’s whispered observations. But there’s also flair: My halibut paled in comparison, but it wasn’t really fair. The halibut came [...]
