Travel. books. food. (now with more typos and run on sentences). Friday, July 30, 2010. A Few Chengdu's and Chengdon'ts, Pandas and Bamboo. So what else have we been up to? T for Ben and me, and we were hoping that all work and no play would not make the general manager Mr. Zhou a dull boy. Thankfully, nothing Shining-like went down, and we left peacefully on our 8 am bus, only feeling moderately extorted. Monday, July 26, 2010. Grumpy Monks, Monkey Attacks and More on China's Holiest Mountain. After all...

Travel. books. food. (now with more typos and run on sentences). Monday, July 25, 2011. Anyway, did some shopping at the market and still a few hours before sunset when I wanted to see Shwedagon again, but too far from the guesthouse and pouring rain, so ended up seeing X-Men at the movie theater once I got though all the metal detectors. And now on to ChiangMai. Oh, one last thing, the stressful-as-hell money thing here. Once upon a time the junta's astrologers (are we sensing a theme here? For change, ...

Lately I've been complaining that I can't get through a day without a conversation about Sarah Palin. Blah blah blah, she's so terrifying/awful/hilarious. So, hoist to my own petard, I'm blogging about her- after three months, I know I know it's ridiculous. But not as ridiculous as this: sheitel.com is now selling a Sarah Palin wig. Yes folks, now you in the modest-haircovering Orthodox world can look like Our Sarah, lovin' Jews for Jesus and hatin' that mean old goverment (shoo! For serious, y'all.

eatmorebooks: January 2010
http://eatmorebooks.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Travel. books. food. (now with more typos and run on sentences). Sunday, January 31, 2010. David Foster Wallace - Consider The Lobster. Fun stuff in this collection of essays from the 90's and early 2000's. Though ironic that I read it WHILE reading Infinite Jest (see below.). I really enjoyed the 9/11 and the Adult Convention essays, felt like classic DFW stuff. Reminded me that I might like his nonfiction better than his fiction, but still. David Grann - The Lost City of Z. I didnt exactly find the non...

eatmorebooks: Begin Bagan
http://eatmorebooks.blogspot.com/2011/08/begin-bagan.html
Travel. books. food. (now with more typos and run on sentences). Sunday, July 24, 2011. Around the corner seems to be the local. For change, they don’t always have exact, so they augment with a random few pieces of candy, a package of instant coffee, a few cigarettes, or a packet of tissues. Locals get chapati and curry scooped into plastic bags, and a lighter hangs from a tree to light cigarettes. Its great, except for the nast. I've got a British girlfriend. Ha ha! Busride was only moderately hellish&#...

Travel. books. food. (now with more typos and run on sentences). Tuesday, September 14, 2010. Wow, I don't know what's happened to my attention span lately, but I was unable to finish no less than three books in the past few months- very unlike me. It also shows either a decreasing attention span, or perhaps an increasing maturity that I no longer put up with books that bore me. The first was " The Black Swan. By Robert Charles Wilson. Ranting aside, some things I did like in recent months:. Well, yes...

Travel. books. food. (now with more typos and run on sentences). Thursday, November 18, 2010. Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao: Junot Diaz. Yeah, amazing short stories by Diaz, some better than others, but still an amazing short story collection about Dominican families in New York and New Jersey. The Human Stain - Philip Roth. Goodbye Columbus - Philip Roth. Portnoy's Complaint - Philip Roth. Are we sensing a theme this fall? Women oh, I guess actually he just really hates women in general and is a miso...

So with that- my enhanced no-cook version of. 2 Cups sour cream (one pint). 1 Cup Half and Half or Cream. 3 Oranges - zested and juiced. Combine zest and sugar in a food processor or blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend until a consistent texture. Freeze, maybe adding mini chocolate chips or or bits of chocolate as well. Dulce De Leche Ice Cream. Simple template...
