A little too en pointe for me: bear-paw meat shredders What’s next, narwhal kebab skewers?
Just in case our fortunes ever look up again, I’m noting this link for that day when I get to go back to Paris: The Best Patisseries in Paris (be patient if you click, it’s rather slow to load)
Paris may be far, far off for me, but the next time I’m in New York, I seriously want to check out some of these dumpling shops in Chinatown.
The National Archives recently opened this exhibit about the government’s effect on the diet of Americans throughout our history. I’ve only ever been to Washington once, but maybe our friend Tony can check it out the next time he’s there and report back.
Speaking of Washington, Jesse Rhodes, one of the food bloggers for Smithsonian Magazine, reports that the Rickey, a summery cocktail originally made with bourbon but now more commonly made with gin, was recently declared the “Official Drink” of Washington D.C.. Here in the Boston area, we are big fans of the non-alcoholic raspberry lime rickey, as perfected by the late, lamented Brigham’s Ice Cream, but I’m envisioning sipping one of these this evening.
