After a bout with food poisoning on Thursday night/Friday, I recovered enough to start off Saturday at a spin class with Hallie and Eliza. The instructor had picked some fantastic music, which can make all the difference in a spin class, including a final 7-minute hill to "You Can’t Always Get What You Want." Absolutely perfect.
Yesterday, after paying all my bills, I met up with Deb for a snack at the lovely Tarrallucci e Vino and then I accompanied her to Starbucks so she could get a drink. She ordered with such precision and accuracy — clearly this was a woman who, through trial and error, had learned how to get exactly what she wanted through Starbucks-speak: a tall, skim, no water, 180 chai latte. In translation, this is a medium chai latte made with skim milk, with no water (normally they use 1/2 water), heated to 180 degrees, rather than the typical 160. It was the best Starbucks ordering I have ever heard.

you’re all over the food channel (or was it discovery?) in promos for a show on the vendys. you look very thin which is of course excellent.

Why, thank you! It’s the Food Network — there will be a full show about the Vendy awards sometime in March — will let everyone know as soon as I do.
