A Temporary Paradigm Shift Portends
I have just realized that I have an insanely cool and crazy travel season coming up in November and December- so this is my way of saying:
So what fascinating foody/drinky/travely outings loom in my future? Let's take a pictorial walk-through of the upcoming plans!
+ 
+ 
shopping for mid-century modern stuff (sure could use a credenza), the palm springs tramway, joshua tree, and all the swingin' rat-pack hangouts- I was all up in the ChowHound getting recommendations and making reservations for the best restaurants down there.
+ 
+ 
+ 
super last minute and super can't wait! I'm going to try to take a cooking class there. I'm probably the only person in the world (except, um, for Japanese people) who loves the idea of being served raw fish for breakfast. I can't wait to experience the food and the fashionistas.

So be sure and stay tuned over the next couple of months, for a dizzying, dazzling array of food and fabulousness from around the world... and the occasional Christmas cookie or latke action!
a) be prepared for much more on the travel, eating out, and shopping type of entries than the cooking type of entries. (Although there will undoubtedly be some holiday season-related cooking action because that is also a time of cookies and cakes and parties and eating.)
and
b) entries will be a little spottier and probably less frequent.
So what fascinating foody/drinky/travely outings loom in my future? Let's take a pictorial walk-through of the upcoming plans!
- A Long Weekend in Palm Springs
+ + shopping for mid-century modern stuff (sure could use a credenza), the palm springs tramway, joshua tree, and all the swingin' rat-pack hangouts- I was all up in the ChowHound getting recommendations and making reservations for the best restaurants down there.
- Thanksgiving in Kentucky
+ + not just turkey this year- bluegrass, bourbon, and the already infamous Creation Museum
(dinosaurs and people coexisting in dioramas!) are all on the agenda-
plus lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of dogs!
- Tagging Along to Tokyo
+ super last minute and super can't wait! I'm going to try to take a cooking class there. I'm probably the only person in the world (except, um, for Japanese people) who loves the idea of being served raw fish for breakfast. I can't wait to experience the food and the fashionistas.
- Freezing in China
+ + most people don't go to Beijing in the winter, because it's cold, and
even fewer people head up to Outer Mongolia. But how can I resist such
a grand spectacle as the Harbin Ice Festival?
Turns out I can't. At least, in theory. Maybe I won't be able to leave
my hotel room since I am such a cold wimp, but I thought ahead and got
a room with a view of the ice. Clever, huh? And you know the food will be fabulous.
So be sure and stay tuned over the next couple of months, for a dizzying, dazzling array of food and fabulousness from around the world... and the occasional Christmas cookie or latke action!
I'm so jealous you're going to Tokyo!! We'll be in SF for the holidays, hope we get to see you. Will you be around at all?
