Hi there!
Yuko Shimizu probably has illustrated one or two covers of your favorite books, plus a few astonishing chef's portraits.
I've found her looking for Japanese fabrics and prints. She brought me far, in places my imagination couldn't.
Sometimes you don't need food for that.

Under the Soviets, all people wanted was more than one kind of bread. But now that we have choices, we are oppressed by them.

THE MISSING INGREDIENT
WHY WASTE YOUR DAY ON BLACK-FRIDAY WHEN YOU CAN HAVE A BLACK-FRY-DAY?
|
|

November 26th, Black Friday. What are you gonna buy? Me, I'm waiting for a decent induction casserole (aiming for a Mauviel1830, but maybe compromising with a WMF).
I'm not that good at puns, but I thought we could laugh for a moment getting not a Black Friday, but a Black-Fry-Day. What would you dig into hot oil? I'm all in with this Black Tempura Calamari (★recipe) as seen on WineEnthusiast, or this Black pepper chicken fry (★recipe). And you? Have you any other frying black thoughts?

A BOOK FOR THE FUTURE
The Amazonification of life
★★★★
This is not properly a food book. "The Every" is the name of something like Meta +Google +Amazon +WholeFoods, and add some of the coolness of Apple too. In a future where any citizen is a well-profiled customer (future? Mmm...), this story will make you laugh, cry and rethink your choices. Plus, the author has a list of praises by many writers and thinkers I really love. And, if you buy from his company, McSweeney's, I think you can get one of the unique cover designs for your copy (but check that with them).
The Every by Dave Eggers

The day I write something like this, I will die happy one second later.

Yeah, why not? Plus, kudos for my subliminal-link-power (Keanu was starring on Point Break, dudes). |
