Completely unrelated: iwas checking out your dining list, and dude, the link for Alinea is defunct. I'm fascinated you've been there; I have only seen an article on the restaurant in WIRED magazine! I am determined to go to Chicago just for that very experience. Seriously.
Congrats on the book darlin'! So happy for you!!!!

Hm, let's see how long it takes me to write about Alinea. ;-)
And when the hell did you find time to write a book? I can't even find time to write checks.

Our friend's wedding was lovely. The drive from Albuquerque to Taos was pretty at times. But I must say, at risk of getting stoned, that New Mexico is boring, yo. And the food mostly sucked. The best meals we had were at the Taos Diner for breakfast and the food at the wedding. Really. And "Authentic New Mexican Cuisine," which is what every menu states it serves, is really just Mexican cuisine, people. The only difference is that they throw some red or green chile on everything (which I'm not complaining about).
In the time since we've been back, I've been a busy little worker bee. And guess what? I WROTE A BOOK. Well, co-wrote, but still. Look for it to publish around Thanksgiving.
And now, Jon and I are off to Big Sur. We have traveled so much in the past several months because we have been attending weddings and family gatherings. These next few days are all about us avoiding other people, especially since soon, there will be another person in our house all the time.
Also, the Kabocha squash cakes at Slanted Door right now might be the best thing I've ever tasted.
El Bulli, Part 3 is still 1/2 done. Hey, it's something.

are you going to eat at Bernadus Lodge? If Ben Spungin's oak ice cream on the menu-- order a whole bowl of it!
