Hungry happiness: the delights and disorders of food. If you live in New York, have you been outside today? I certainly hope so, because even though it's still April, it felt like summer arrived this weekend. Imagine someone taking a picture of this repair job, just because it was clever. But I'm slowly seeing the charms of this way of thinking about bikes, and you can be sure that one of my first stops today was the bike shop, to get a real. At our return, I promised Chuan a special dessert. "You kn...

Hungry happiness: the delights and disorders of food. The right to privacy. Hearing her words, I felt a sense of relief. So I wasn't the only one hiding my past! And nor was there anything to be ashamed of in doing so - in fact, it is de rigeur. In a sense, this speaker gave me the permission to do what I have instinctively done: protect my most fragile self, maintaining my own space in the midst of so much talk, and study, of mental illness. This is my. My reader, and to this. Written on October 26, 2008.

Hungry happiness: the delights and disorders of food. Lately, I have been thinking of food in a very elemental way; perhaps in the most elemental of ways - as fuel. The first time I went on a long bike ride, early last spring, something happened to me that happens to most cyclists at least once: I "bonked," meaning that I ran out of energy (for us, that means calories! I eat and eat and eat and eat - and don't worry about it! The soup was Madhur Jaffrey's invention. Carrot and raisin slaw. 1 T white wine...

Hungry happiness: the delights and disorders of food. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about exercise addiction, and I had Carrie's post. Earlier this week to spur my thoughts. I have not "trained" for a sport since high school; while I exercised a lot in college, that felt obligatory to me, a punishment rather than a pleasure. Now, when ask myself if I am cycling is "too" much, I compare my exercise in my college days with this new hobby. To do, rather than something that I have. 26 May, 2009 11:28.

Hungry happiness: the delights and disorders of food. Is breakfast a difficult meal for you? Is it the one that you rarely think about, the one that you linger over the least? Not just eggs - pork. Are you someone who can't stand another day of bagels with cream cheese and frozen orange juice? Don't you agree that breakfast is the most wasted culinary opportunity of the day? Filled with sweet pork, shitake mushrooms, peanuts, and dried shrimp (picked up in Chinatown);. Coincidentally, the weather today i...

http://avidalegria.blogspot.com/2009/05/tuna-salad-days.html

Hungry happiness: the delights and disorders of food. I am 26 years old and I just started to like tuna salad. It began, I think, about a month ago, when I stopped at the little cafe at Strictly Bicycles. On my way back from a Sunday ride in Jersey. This was the day that I got the clamp fixed on my seatpost. I give myself a good fifty, at least. I wasn't satisfied with the recipes that I found in my cookbooks, all full of red pepper and chopped celery (bleh! Ai Lu's Tuna Salad:. 1/4 head fennel, julienned.
