Playing With Your Food
This is what happens when you’re a regular at a place that serves condiments along with their cheese plate and they want to make you laugh: Plus, there haven’t been nearly enough pictures up here this week. This piece of art is composed of two of the amarone cherries, a dab of the apricots with

It’s 4:30 pm — Time to Get off the Couch
I’m actually wrapping up this weekend before the weekend’s over, for a change.

You Want Fries With That?
It’s time again for a blatant plug, in this case, for a film. I had the privilege of seeing Super Size Me yesterday. This documentary chronicles one month in the life of the writer and filmmaker, during which he eats only at McDonald’s. Hilarity and disastrous health effects ensue. It is incredibly well-done — funny,
