When work takes second place
January 7th, 2010 admin
Younger son’s school was closed today. So we jumped in the car, packed a sledge and RTL, and called some friends. Time to hit Windsor Great Park for a bit of snow fun. Roads were clear, but near the park were covered in ice and snow, so driving was tricky. On the Egham bypass we saw one motorist who had underestimated the conditions – their vehicle had flown off the road, through some metal fencing, into a ditch. There’s a fantastic …

I’m here! I’m here! Sorry guys I have not been around long enough to update this page in the last few days. I am held hostage by work – a week long magazine photo shoot. Prepping, cooking, styling, shooting….which is made sweeter only by the fact that these recipes are really tasty (it’s always a gamble to decipher...
Every time I’ve looked out the window this week, I’ve felt a childlike glee at the sight of all the snow piled up. A whopping 18″ dropped in 24 hours last weekend, a few more inches covered that earlier this week, and more is in the forecast. I really sympathize with the folks further south ( south! ) who have had twice as much...
I’ve just taken my medication, with a glass of wine. I’m reminded of a comment I heard by a very senior pharmaceutical chief at a small meeting I was involved with in my previous life – held in Basle, Switzerland, with luminaries such as Peter Goodfellow and Craig Venter in attendance. It was looking at genomics. Allen Roses from...
The No. 3 company to work for is Wegmans Food Markets , according to Fortune magazine’s list of the best 100 employers. These lists are a little silly, of course. For starters, they change every year, sometimes substantially. Are companies really transformed so much over the course of a year that they fall from, say, No. 2 to No. 13? Still,...
Big chunks of beef chuck make this hearty beef stew the perfect solution to a cold winter day. Waking up this morning I was greeted by a gleaming white wonderland outside.

Didn’t expect to take this long to announce the winners of the cookbook giveaway but we had snow over the weekend. Snow! In Charleston! Kind of – sort of – just about unheard of . I did not even know of B’s existence the last time it snowed in Charleston. So yes…while everyone was glued to the tv weather report worrying...
Michael Pollan uses five books to frame a piece in the New York Review of Books that basically restates his usual set of arguments: We need to know more about where our food comes from, how it is made, and what effects it has on our health, the environment, and society in general. It’s worth a read if you want a wide-angle introduction to...

This latest entry in Burger King’s tiresomely “edgy” advertising oeuvre falls somewhere short of what Thomas Friedman or Samuel P. Huntington had in mind in the ’90s when they envisioned what might happen when the West and the Middle East finally came to reconcile their differences.

I love, like, enjoy, many people and many things in this life but if there is one thing that I live for on the weekends is when B. comes home from playing music and we sit on the bed and geek out for hours about all sorts of topics. Photography, films, history, and often times, food. Before we know, it’s three o’clock in the morning...
