Resolution: Eat Less Meat - http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes...
"The top of the year is a perfect time to get on the bandwagon with us. There's a lot of noise in January about committing to losing weight, getting healthy, saving money, doing good, but most of us confess to losing steam by February. If any or all of the above are included on your list of 2010 resolutions, rest assured knowing that adopting a Meat Lite approach to eating covers all the bases. But you'll be having too much fun discovering new ingredients, and you'll be too full to feel like changing the way you live with food has been any effort or sacrifice at all."

Sadie and I have been moving toward this for the past two years. It started after I read "The Omnivore's Dilemma' and we decided to be more conscious about what we were eating. Then after watching Food Inc. we decided factory-farmed meat was no longer an option for us. Furthermore since non-factory meat is more expensive we decided to eat less meat over all. We agreed to splurge occasionally on local, humane, grass-fed meat and adopt a meat-lite lifestyle for the rest of our meals.

Embracing Health and Happiness through Ayurvedic Eating - http://civileats.com/2010...
"“Winter is a time to celebrate food, family and good times and part of the joy of Ayurveda is to really enjoy what you are doing. Eat in a calm, relaxed fashion by sitting and being focused on your food, but still engaging with friends and family. Enjoying things in your life in all ways and listening to your body is the Ayurvedic way,” Scianamblo says."

The Rural Life - Snowing Forward - http://www.nytimes.com/2010...
"I’m reluctant to see the storm finish. At this time of year — winter only begun — I still feel the way I did when I was a child. I want the snow to keep falling, soft and deep into the night and the next day and the week after, until I wake up in a world completely unknown. In that world, there will be no melting back to the vole trails, no going back to spring. There will be only an unknown track into the snowbound woods."

Flush with Christmas cash, I've got a decision to make: DSi or iPod touch?
Morton Fox, edythe and RAPatton liked this
I LOVE my DS and I already have an iPhone. Games are probably cheaper for the touch, but you can't play Mario Kart on it either.

I've got an older Nano that works fine, just no apps or games so I was looking at upgrading. On the other hand I'm a Nintendo fanboy and really wanna get my hands on Spirit Tracks and the other DS goodies. I thought the touch might satisfy my portable gaming needs. I don't currently have a portable gaming system unless you count my ancient Game Boy Micro.
- Kyle Hebert
Spirit Tracks looks awesome, Kyle. I bought my DS on a whim and I do go stretches without playing it, but when I do, it's always a fun ride. I should keep it in my bag. I only have a couple games on my iPhone, but to me DS > iTouch for gaming. Especially if you're a N fanboy.

Missed my chance to eat Besh's cooking when he was part of a recipe development project I worked on. He is tops on my list for whenever I get to NOLA for a proper visit someday. I'm enjoying reading about your eating and drinking adventures in the meantime :)

Jason, second Dances with Wolves reference I've seen for this, and it's completely accurate. J, I wear glasses and the ones at my theater fit over them just fine.

for some dumb reason, when I heard about the film's "breakthrough" and "revolutionary" technology, I thought that meant it could be watched without glasses. clearly, I haven't been paying attention to this film.

thanks, Kyle. I guess I'll give it a go later in the week.

"You will be served soils from the local farms. First the scent of the soil will be stimulated by adding a small amount of water and stirring to release the earth’s aromas as if from a fresh rain. Then you will smell, identify the scents you recognize, and note their properties. You will then be served food grown in the same soil you have just smelled. See if you can taste in the food the same properties you smelled in the soil. Please note your reactions and experiences."

For the decade or for the year? For the decade, I'd say something about how the response to 9/11 which came from "comic" sources ended up being the most effective and cathartic: The Onion, The Daily Show, David Letterman.

there was also the bianca montgomery wedding on "all my children." actually, that whole bianca storyline is fascinating. she was raped and gave birth, deciding to raise the child as a single mom (contrast that to erica kane in 1970 something who was raped and gave the child up for adoption, and catholic, mexican character julia santos who was raped and had an abortion in the late 1980s or early 1990s).
