The First Stolen Excerpt: Diana's Book Hungry for More

Diana gets all bent out of shape when folks steal her books on-line (you can read about it here).
But I steal her books in hard copy.

Hey, it's my book, too, technically, since it's about ME!

So, let's start the postings. Today, I'm going to post the opening quote. Yes, just that, because it's good. It's written by the book's hero, James LaChance and I think it sets the tone nicely:

Cooking, like sex, is best done right or not at all.

-James LaChance, Executive Chef and Owner,
Les Fleurs Restaurant, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ah...this'll be a good one!

Hungry for More, coming this fall, 2008. Check back for the prologue!

The Superbowl Is Over; The Winner is a Dancing Lizard

Today in America it's Superbowl Sunday, the day when many very, very large men play a game that's incomprehensible to most of the world and boring as all get out to many (female) Americans. Including me.

But oh, how I used to live for this day. Because in another life (when I was young and single and living in New York City) I used to write ads for Pepsi. Our slogan then was: Be young. Have fun. Drink Pepsi. Now, my slogan might be something more like: Be Middle-Aged. Have kids. Drink coffee.

But it was fun back then, let me tell you. So now, when I watch the Superbowl, I mostly care about the ads.

Here's a question for all you alpha males out there: what's with all the pink water ads? Bud ads, sure. A Pepsi ad, of course. But the water, guys? Four or five ads for water that's, you know, pink.

Anyway, in my house, this was the favorite Superbowl ad. If you like it, go to their website and check out the teaser ads. Excellent.
