A Cook's Tour

Oh, Anthony Bourdain... I wish I could have two husbands in the future. Maybe I'll just make my Mateo pierce his ear and wear a thumb ring.

A good read, but I have a feeling Kitchen Confidential will be better. Being totally ignorant about geography, politics, and history, I had to do some wikipedia-ing as I read. Those stereotypically boy topics have always eluded me. Wrapped in the concept of cuisine though, I finally kind of got it. Also, I now feel learned enough to use the term “cuisine”.

Running with Scissors

I read this before officially beginning the "competition" or the blog, but I thought it deserved a post; a place holder of sorts. The best line in the entire book, and yes there were many, had to be, "It turned out I had always been a smoker. I just hadn't had any cigarettes." I want stickers and t-shirts plastered with this quote. It was one of the first scenes my Mateo and I laughed about after I finished reading his copy. Ahh, romance.

One down, 49 to go...
