Breaking Bread
Kind of off-topic post, but interesting nonetheless for our foodies out there.
The New York Time’s food critic, Frank Bruni, wrote this blog post today, Our Nightly Bread, which explores a positive side to restaurants charging for bread and butter these days.
As someone who loves, loves, loves warm crusty bread dunked in deliciously-herbed olive oil at good Italian restaurants (but could easily pass it up if it’s sub-par) I thought it was worth sharing.
Take a read and let me know what you think about charging for bread during tough economic times.
As for me, I’d rather pay for it and get the good, good stuff, then see a stale, wasted basket taking up space on the table!

Can’t Win ‘Em All
One thing therapy confirmed for me (as if I didn’t know) is that I’m a perfectionist by nature, and I don’t like to do the wrong thing or get in trouble.
Which is why my disordered eating behavior baffled me so much, yet at the same time, made so much sense: it was my rebellion, my way to act out … but it was against myself.
Note I am using past tense? I don’t mean to imply I’m out of the woods; just that it’s been over seven weeks now without a chew/spit incident and I am really proud of it. I plan to keep it up.
Anyway, I told you a few weeks ago that I got pulled over and had gotten a speeding ticket on April Fool’s Day. It was a good reminder to me to “slow it down,” for sure. (more…)
