song
I’m going to New York! (what a lark! what a song!) where the tough Rocky’s eaves hit the sea. Where th’Acro- polis is functional, the trains that run and shout! the books that have trousers and sleeves! I’m going to New York! (quel voyage! jamais plus!) far from Ypsilanti and Flint! where Goodman rules the Empire and the sunlight’s eschato- logy upon the...

food network had a lot of wins this month too. mostly for an article that had nothing to do with food. true life: i love gin more than a lot of people.
GIN THREE WAYS
BUBBLY French 75 In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 ounce gin, 1/4 ounce lemon juice and 1 teaspoon confectioners sugar. Shake with ice for 30 second, then strain into a chilled flute; top with sparkling wine.

we get a lot of magazines. we pay for GQ, esquire, vanity fair, washingtonian, washington life, and food network magazine. inexplicably, we also get entertainment weekly, time, wired, maxim, and ESPN the magazine. not sure who we accidentally paid off at the distro center (seriously, how does that happen?)…
but anyway, this makes for a lot of monthly reading. the highlight this month was in...

book club
as soon as i graduated and got a job, the logical next step was to start a book club. so a select group of bibliophiles and i have been meeting monthly for a few years now to discuss literature gossip and drink wine. we select books based on genres, suggest within that genre, and then vote. here’s what we have read since inception in ‘08 (favorites in bold):
politics - ‘audacity...

my engaged friends hosted their third annual ‘friend thanksgiving’ last night. it’s gone from 6 people, to 18, to 34. the spread was ridiculous. i made two things, one of which was the mix and match crumble from food network magazine:
Step 1: Prep Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish or eight 6-ounce ramekins.
Step 2: Pick a nut Chop 3/4...

on daddies.
i loved reading brent’s post on the art of finding time. a good daddy like brent knows that everything you do is for family.
this made me think about my daddy. he was perfect at the art of finding time. he got up early to make breakfast, take out the dog, and take each of his five children to school - even when we were spread among three different schools. he went into the office late,...

Watchi try to run sometimes.
i can crank out five miles or so, if i have enough stimuli to keep me going: a good playlist + one of the treadmills with a TV (usually turned to E!) + a fan on my face. i’m an exerciser, but i don’t consider myself a runner. that’s a different breed of commitment and discipline - not to mention time - that i just don’t have.
however, when i...
