Book review Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture, by Ariel Levy. ( Read more... )So to conclude: a collection of stories interesting enough to make it worth reading, but too vague on the theory side to be worth seeking out specially. |

New beverage experience
Today at tea our Uruguayan and our Argentinian grad student treated us to traditionally prepared mate, in the Uruguayan (straight up) and Argentinian (with sugar) styles. It was quite tasty. Linguistic note: in the Spanish of the Rio de la Plata, an initial "y" is pronounced as "ch": hence "yerba mate" is pronounced "cheba mate". (More bizarrely, the "ll" is also pronounced "ch".) |

House in snow  Recent WVWers will recognize this as my parents' new house-in-town. Looks rather Dickensian/Thomas-Kinkadeish, doesn't it? |

"After reading hundreds of cookbooks, you may have the feeling that every recipe, every cookbook, is an attempt to get you to attain this ideal sugar-salt-saturated-fat state without having to see it head on, just as every love poem is an attempt to maneuver a girl or a boy into bed by talking as fast, and as eloquently, as possible about something else. 'Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? / Thou art more lovely and more temperate' is the poetic equivalent of simmering the garlic with ginger and Sauternes before you put the cream in; the end is the cream, but you carefully simmer the garlic." — Adam Gopnik |
