– I rarely read any of the “blogs” on HuffPo, but I read this one. And so should you. How the horrible, no-good, terrible, infamous Sandra Lee Kwanzaa Cake was brought into creation, by the woman who came up with it.
“10. “Knowing the rules of the game, how could you, being the player, player that...”
– Via Vanity Fair’s list of the 10 best questions asked of Rahm Emanuel yesterday.

GROSS!!!!
That reminds me. Gotta sign up for the annual Globe Pub Haggis dinner this year. It was a 3-years-running tradition until we missed it last year. Hell and damnation.

“As a general rule, on Top Chef it’s seldom a good idea to over reach. If...”
– One of the best things about Top Chef All-Stars is that Tony Bourdain is reminding himself that he can kinda write.
