A run unlike any we have ever seen
Q: Has any college basketball team ever been through the up-and-down odyssey endured by the Syracuse program over the past 17 months?
A: No.
To expand on that: No team has even come close. Not the Kentucky program that won a national title in 2012, subsequently saw six players drafted into the NBA, then lost in the first round of the NIT last month. Not the Florida Gulf Coast team that came from nowhere to beat Georgetown, become the first 15-seed to make the Sweet Sixteen, and briefly capture the imagination of a nation. Not the Wichita State team that lost all five starters from last season, went through an injury-plagued 2012-13 regular season, then shocked us all by making this year's Final Four.
Let's recap the last 17 months in the life of Syracuse basketball and Jim Boeheim:
In November 2011, shortly after the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal erupted at Penn State, longtime Boeheim assistant Bernie Fine was accused on ESPN of sexually abusing former ball boys on the team; he was fired.
Then Boeheim hung black curtains at the practice facility to keep out pesky news cameras trying to get footage of players in the days after the ESPN report.
Then, after that bubble mentality symbolized by those black curtains made the players work even harder in practice and made them bond as a team, Syracuse ascended to the No. 1 ranking in the country and appeared to be the main obstacle to Kentucky's air of inevitability in heading toward its national title.
TOP TOURNEY MOMENTSCheck out the top 10 moments in NCAA tournament history.
Then the school announced it self-reported possible violations of its internal drug policy by former members of the team, and that the NCAA was investigating.
Then the team's top defensive player, seven-footer Fab Melo, was deemed academically ineligible days before last year's NCAA tournament.
Then the team made an improbable run to last season's Elite Eight — improbable only because Melo was considered such a vital cog in the Boeheim machine — before being bounced by Ohio State. The game left senior Scoop Jardine, one of the most likable players in recent Syracuse history, bawling outside the locker room after his last game.
Then Boeheim lost three players to the NBA draft and reloaded, bringing this year's Syracuse team all the way to third in the national rankings.
Then, reminiscent of the season before, 3-point gunner James Southerland suffered from eligibility issues and missed six games, two of them losses.
Then Boeheim went off on an ESPN reporter at a news conference, taking his usual surliness to a new level, and later said he was "ready to go play golf someplace," which sparked rumors of a pending retirement.
Then Boeheim denied those retirement rumors even as Syracuse was in the middle of a late-season swoon where the Orange lost four of their last five regular-season games, jettisoning the team out of any serious postseason discussion.
Then Syracuse was revealed to have received a letter of preliminary inquiry from the NCAA that alleged "major" violations in the program — all of which fueled more rumors of Boeheim's retirement.
Then, out of nowhere, Syracuse made a run in the final Big East Tournament as we've known it, where the shots finally dropped and Boeheim's 2-3 zone finally began to coalesce with this year's team.
And then, finally, in the past few weeks, the team peaked at the perfect time, its 2-3 zone shutting down opponents in the NCAA tournament: holding its Round of 64 opponent to a measly 34 points; then squeaking by Cal; then holding Indiana, one of the best offenses in the country, to 50 points in a Sweet Sixteen game; then obliterating Marquette, 55-39, in an Elite Eight game where Syracuse choked and squeezed Marquette with what Boeheim called the best version of the signature defense he's run for decades.
How does a program reconcile these sorts of up-and-down emotions? How can a school go from being excoriated for harboring an accused sex offender (the FBI later dropped its case against Fine), to being seen as a redemption story, to being chastised again for possible NCAA violations, to being lifted up as the greatest defensive achievement for one of the greatest all-time college basketball coaches?
It's dizzying. How can you process all these conflicting emotions, and top them off with — in the middle of Syracuse's Final Four run this year — the tragedy of point guard Michael Carter-Williams having his childhood home burn down before the Sweet Sixteen?
"Everybody has distractions," Boeheim said this week. "There's no team that doesn't have distractions during the course of the year. That's part of life. That's what you have to learn to handle.
"They focused well all year. It's difficult when you lose four out of five games. But people go through that. Duke lost three games in a row this year. Kansas did. Michigan had a bad stretch. I think most teams have a bad stretch sometime during the course of the year, particularly if you play four games against three teams in the top 15 in the country, you're going to have a bad stretch."
It's true: Adversity molds character. When bad things happen to good teams, the teams can crumble or they can rise up. Syracuse has risen up, been knocked down, risen again. Saturday the Orange have their season's biggest test: Michigan, with likely player-of-the-year point guard Trey Burke and a supporting cast of underclassmen who are peaking at the right time. It's strength on strength, Syracuse's currently impenetrable 2-3 zone vs. Michigan's currently unbeatable offense.
It will be a difficult mountain to climb at the end of this 17-month odyssey: To beat the hottest offense in the nation, and then go on to beat (assuming Louisville takes care of Wichita State) one of the best pressure defenses college basketball has seen in years.
But if Syracuse can pull it off, what better way to end the odyssey: To do the unexpected, to win a national title, and to have Jim Boeheim — the coy old coach who never really shows his hand — top off his second national championship by saying he was only kidding earlier, and he's actually going to call it quits.
It probably won't happen.
But who could have guessed the past 17 months could have happened at Syracuse?

Claudia is a very nice person and was a perfect guest. We will be happy to have her as our guest again.
Great guests. Would be happy to host again in the future.
Claudia and her friend stayed at my apartment for 3 nights, she complained on my apartment comment page that mattresses are worn out, which is not true. That blankets are too tin and that they were cold at night, she never contacted me on this issue, and as I live next door to the apartment I rent, she could in many ways 24/7 and she could have additional blankets in no more than 5 minutes, and she knew that, as all my guests knew that, she could also turn on A/C and heat up the apartment. Finally she wrote that bathroom is flooded after shower, and she never tolled me that, and flooding might be serious issue, she should have tolled me that while she was here, so I can fix that, which I did after seeing her comment.
When I asked her, in person, was everything ok, she had no complaints.

FIRST PLACE FOR YOUTH Reviews

I've been on the Board for one year now, and been a donor to First Place for more than five. I began supporting them because of my work with homeless adults and discovering that more than half of them had been part of the foster care system as children! At 18, foster youth lose all financial and empotional support from the State and are expected to be able to make it on their own - the reality is most don't even have their high school diplomas yet and many become homeless, teen parents, and/or involved in criminal activities. First Place provides the practical and caring support that many of us received from our parents to help these youth transition to adulthood and self-sufficiency. The staff are great champions for the youth, and the peer counselors help the young people to see that they really can change their lives. Although I'm impressed with the staff, program, and outcome measures, it is meeting the youth in the program that has inspired me most.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
helping youth to obtain and maintain affordable housing - last year 92% of those served were able to do so! And 87% of youth were able to enroll in college or a trade school - while working and maintaining their households.
More feedback...
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
inspiring and dedicated and very comfortable with/attuned to the young people participating in the program.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
provide housing and support for thousands more foster youth across the State.

How Can you Tell if She's a Virgin?
Myth #1: A non-virgin walks with her legs wider apart.
Fact: How a girl walks is determined by her physical build - how wide her hip bones are or how fat her thighs are. It's also determined by her stride. This has nothing whatsoever to do with her virginity!
Myth #2: Hair between the eyebrows is gone after one loses her virginity.
Fact: This is one of the more bizarre stories. Hair between the eyebrows has nothing to do with virginity. If you happen to spot some hair between a girl's eyebrow which had never been there previously. it's simply because she has forgotten to pluck her eyebrows during the past few days!
Myth #3:A girls' fully-rounded backside suddenly flattens after she has sex.
Fact: If this were true, then there wouldn't be many of us walking around with nice, round, fully rear ends! It is impossible to lose tje elsaticity in your backside muscles simply through intercourse.
Myth #4: A virgin's breasts point upwards.
Fact: Virgins are just as likely to have sagging breasts!
Myth #5:One's breasts become larger after she loses her virginity. Fact: Just like a guy obtains his erection through a rush of blood to his penis, a gal's breasts could also swell when aroused. But this subsides. It is rude and childish to assume that those with ample chests are all non-virgins.
Myth #6: A virgin's urine is clear and sparkling.
Fact: Virginity cannot be confirmed with urine test; only pregnancy can. Besides, the quality of your urine is determined by your water intake - the more water you drink, the cleaner and clearer your urine will be.
Myth #7: A girl who has done it before has "a certain kind of look" on her face.
Fact: This is what many guys would say, and it is purely nonsense. Common sense tells you that there is no such thing as the virgin or non-virgin look!
Myth #8: A girl will definitely bleed when she has sex for the first time. If she doesn't, then she is lying about being a virgin.
Fact: One of the more reasonbale points brought up, this is perhaps the most common excuse for determining whether one is a virgin, but it is a misconception. Bleeding occurs when the hymen, a thin menbrane that covers the opening of a female's vagina, tears during intercourse. Thus, the general belief is that bleeding indicates loss of virginity. However, the hymen could also tear through physical activities like cycling and excessive exercises (like in the case of gymnasts). If tampons are not used corectly, they can also break the hymen. Also, some girls don't bleed after their first intercourse because they have more flexible hymens. Therefore, non-bleeding doesn't mean girls are non-virgins, either.
Sound Advice: Take these claims with a pinch of salt. These so-called facts are either traditional folktales or the output of someone's highly imaginative mind. In short, ignore all the outrageous things people say about how they can tell if a girl is a virgin. The truth is, no physical change will take place when a female (or male) loses their virginity. Only a medical check-up can confirm virginity by affirming the presence of an intact hymen. A thorough check-up can also tell whether the hymen has been torn by a penetrating penis or from falling from a bicycle. Other than that, the only way is to ask, and hope for an honest answer.

When Ernest Supplies set out to improve upon classic shaving cream, they looked to another shower workhorse: hair conditioner. After all, why wouldn't a product that is designed to soften your mane be able to do the same for your beard? With its low-lather formula, this balm ensures a closer shave. As the formula preps hair for removal, cooling oils also soothe skin, eliminating razor burn and the need for an aftershave.
It smells good and protects well. I used this product with a brush but I think it would have been all right without it. Will buy this as soon as I finish using what I already have. I am worried about the number of uses in one order but that is something I'll just have to find out.5
This product was okay. Not really into expensive shaving creams yet. But that might be because I have really tried very few. I have sensitive skin, like I am allergic to Gillette products. And normally stick to Nivea for men. The smell of this was amazing and I wasn't allergic to it. My skin was soft, but I maybe that was my aftershave lotion to. But not sure it would be worth the extra money for me? I suppose if I was more familiar with what to expect out of a more expensive shaving creme, I could be more helpful.3

Old World Ambience, Perfect Location
The Mendoza is steps away from the Teatro Dellagato and all of the downtown plazas and sites. There is an old world charm that is a bit dated, but fits perfectly in the Gualalajara surroundings. The staff were friendly and accomodating. My window
looked out on the dome of the adjacent church, adding another feature to the stay. I didn't eat at the Mendoza, as there are many nearby street food and restaurants that are too good to pass up.
Take s short walk down the pedestrian pathway toward the Institutio Cultural Cubanes, and veer right into the large and somewhat confusing Mercato Liberdad. Find your way to the food stalls and look for La Torta Loca. Eat the best (and largest) pork torta you will ever have, and you will take in a ton of Mexican market culture while getting there.
Perfect place for location and value
I love the historical small quaint feel to this hotel. And it's the best located hotel in the historical district. Besides the historical building it's in, it's not fancy like chain hotels are but you get all the necessities and for a very good
value. I wouldn't stay anywhere else!
Cheap Shopping- Mercado San Juan de Dios; Historical- Palacio de Gobierno; Cathedral; Relax- various Plazas with seating areas for people watching, vendors, flag ceremony every sun down, etc.
Good choice for downtown.
I travel to GDL on a regular basis and stay in different central hotels each time and I enjoyed the Mendoza. The staff was friendly, helpful and professional. The room and public areas were very clean. The bathroom tub and sink had great water
pressure and hot water was hot. The only thing I didn't like was that the bed was a bit to firm for me. Of course I have pillow top mattress at home and am used to that. We the complementary breakfast special with our deal and it was excellent. The Mexicana breakfast is great and included robust coffee. a plate of fresh and delicious fruit and a plate of beans Mexican eggs and chilikilis. I will stay here again.
breakfast included but no big bed
booked for a queen size bed and had 2 small ones no good 4 us being a couple
New Year's in Guadalajara!
Overall the hotel was a really nice hotel to stay in. The only negative I would have is that the staff is not very friendly or helpful (but not mean) and there were really tiny ants crawling in the bathroom. Luckily I had mosquito spray that
quickly eradicated that problem?!
Perfect location, good amenities
Small quaint hotel in excellent location. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff. Well worth the cost and would definitely stay there again.
Location Is It's Biggest Assset
The Hotel de Mendoza couldn't be better located in the heart of the city's historic district. The hotel itself is average. The room I stayed in was spacious even if the bad was too small for me to sleep comfortably in. It was freshly repainted
which was obvious from the smell when I checked in. The air conditioning did not work well, but luckily the nights well cool. The worst part of the room was the shower: there was absolutely no water pressure - I could have had a better shower using the sink. The staff is friendly and courteous and will go out of their way to help you the best they can. I have stayed here before and did not have these problems, so I wouldn't say they're indicative of the hotel in general - I may have perhaps been given a faulty room. I would consider staying here again, but I would insist on checking the AC and water pressure first next time.
family getaway
very well located hotel. close to the main downtown places. Rooms were clean but the hotel was a little noisy.
Would not recommend
Great location and thats about it....
Great central location to the GDL Centro but the rooms decor was aged and the beds were hard and i couldnt sleep....
I had a wonderful time in my vacation and Hotel De Mendoza was a big part of my enjoyment in Guadalajara, good service and cofort are part of the everyday life in that great Hotel.

For the best retirement presents, look for something that caters to this active lifestyle and celebrates the exchange of work responsibilities for more pleasurable pursuits. These gift ideas should help you find the perfect gift.
How To Wear a Blazer With Jeans
Whether you're a college student going out on the weekend or a young professional relaxing with your friends, you want to put your best casual foot forward and dress well. A blazer can be the key to dressing up jeans and a T-shirt. Choosing a well-made casual blazer, a few pairs of classic or slightly distressed jeans, a white button-down shirt and tennis shoes will put you on the way to achieving a look perfect for a night out or even a casual day at the office.
How to Buy Cycling Shoes
As with most sports, cycling has an array of gear made specifically for it. Cycling shoes, for example, are designed to help a cyclist perform better. While regular tennis shoes or sneakers slip on the pedals of a bike, cycling shoes grip the pedals. The stiffness of the soles of these shoes combined with the ability to fasten to the pedals of the bike allow for optimum efficiency when cycling. If you are participating in cycling, it is necessary to buy biking shoes to get the most out of bike rides without wasting energy.
Best Unique Diamond Bracelets
When layering a pretty new dress with leggings and your favorite sweater, reach for a unique diamond bracelet to complete the look. Classic diamond tennis bracelets are fine for occasions when you want to fashionably blend in, but other times you want to stand out. When putting together a sexy club outfit or a funky art gala ensemble, use unique diamond bracelets to draw attention to your mod style. Consider some of these cool bracelets when shopping for new diamond jewelry.
Black Diamonds vs White Diamonds
When shopping for diamond jewelry, you have many stunning options. You may picture traditional white diamonds when you think of a fabulous diamond ring, tennis bracelet or pair of stud earrings, but black diamonds are also luxurious in a variety of fashionable jewelry. Black diamonds are unofficially a part of the colored diamonds category. Colored diamonds, also known as fancy diamonds, are natural diamonds in a range of bright hues. To select the very best diamond jewelry for your collection, consider this comparison of black diamonds and white diamonds.
Best Charms for Valentine's Day
This Valentine's Day, give a gift that is personal and symbolic. Your girlfriend or wife will truly appreciate receiving jewelry that seems to have been made just for her. Charms can be used to personalize a charm bracelet or any other type of jewelry. Consider these favorite charm styles when shopping for Valentine's Day gifts.
How to Choose Meaningful Silver Pendants
Because they're available in so many different styles, sterling silver pendants are perfect for personalizing a look and expressing who you are. Whether you're shopping for yourself or you're looking for a great jewelry gift, be sure to choose a necklace that will send the right message.
Best Father's Day Gifts for Sports Fans
Does Dad's year follow the four seasons of football, hockey, basketball, and baseball? Do your biggest family get-togethers include tailgating parties? Then Dad is a big-time sports fan. No doubt he shared his love of sports with you, coaching your little league team or having you join him on a Sunday afternoon in front of the TV. Father's Day is the perfect time to let Dad know how much you cherish his enthusiasm. Show him you're his biggest fan with these ideas for the perfect gift.

Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole admits he's desperate to win the Champions League next week to banish haunting memories of the 2006 final.
"I don't want to be in the same situation as last time and lose. No-one remembers the losers. I want to go there, get my hands on the trophy and pick up a winner's medal this time," said Cole, whose European dreams ended when Barcelona hit back through Samuel Eto'o and Juliano Belletti after Arsenal had Jens Lehmann sent off before taking the lead through Sol Campbell.
Cole recalled: "Before the game, nobody expected us to win. We had so many young players, we had a man sent off, went 1-0 up, should have been 2-0 up but then Juliano Belletti comes along and scores - which I hear about all the time.
"Because we lost, I try not to think about it too much - but now I have got the chance to wipe all that out by getting a winner's medal this year."

Any Ideas How I Can Bake Bread with Coconut Flour?
Good Questions
Q: Have you done any experimenting with coconut flour? I have tried a few recipes for coconut bread, but they all taste more like eggs than bread. I buy a lovely coconut bread from a health food store that doesn't have any yeast in it, but how it's made is a carefully guarded secret! It is extremely expensive and I'm not good at experimenting with recipes.

Recipe: Sausage-Stuffed Parker House Rolls
Recipes from The Kitchn
When Sister Schubert's Parker House rolls appeared in grocery stores everywhere, cooks around the country rejoiced. Even the most seasoned bakers had to admit that hers were as good, if not better, than most homemade. The sausage-stuffed rolls are my personal favorite, because in my house they signify the arrival of fall. And although I will always have a love for those delicious store bought rolls, this recipe may have just kicked them out of my freezer for good.

How to Make Buckwheat Soba Noodles from Scratch
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
I must confess to eating this entire bowl of soba by myself. I didn't share. I didn't look up from the bowl. I just inhaled. Fresh buckwheat soba is an entirely different food group from the dried soba we usually buy at the store. It's like night and day. The nutty aroma of the buckwheat, the perfect chewiness of the noodles, the way they slip perfectly around a chopstick — fresh soba needs little more than some dashi and a splash of soy sauce to be the perfect meal. Here's how you can make it at home.
Italian Recipe: Fiocchetti with Pears and Parmesan Cream
Recipes from The Kitchn
If you asked me ten years ago after feasting at a trattoria in Florence on fiocchetti alle pere con salsa di taleggio e asparagi that one day I would be able to replicate the experience, I would have laughed in your face. Back then the only thing I knew how to make was frozen pizza. But time has a way of changing us, and that trip to Florence changed me too. Here I am ten years later, recreating that meal of a lifetime.

Cox of West Bend was sentenced in Ozaukee County Circuit Court Dec. 11 after he pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of illegal hunting. Cox was also ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and is prohibited from applying for Department of Natural Resources licenses, such as those required for hunting and fishing, for three years. Judge Sandy Williams said she couldn't recall a time that a case like this has been prosecuted. "Most people won't engage in this type of behavior," Williams said.

Big Brother 2014 Spoilers: BB16 HGs Celebrate Their Freedom (PHOTOS)|
We all saw the Big Brother 2014 finale last week and the Big Brother 16 season came to an end. Well, the Big Brother 2014 cast was out celebrating their freedom this past weekend and I have the photos to prove it! Check out all their fun below in our Big Brother 2014 spoilers!
For these photos, we see some familiar faces and some blasts from the pasts. These photos are from the Big Brother 16 finale party, which most of them are from Philip Alan Photography, who does amazing work and I shared his photo shoots with some BB15 alum this past year. The photos are also from the HGs Twitter accounts or Instagram accounts. They were all sharing photos and having a good time at the finale party and in Vegas this past weekend to celebrate the end of the season. And some Big Brother alumni were out celebrating with them, including Big Brother Canada alumni and Team Brenchel!

A Simple Asparagus Soup
The markets here have shifted from yellow and orange orbs of citrus to banks of green asparagus, baskets of artichokes, bouquets of green garlic, and tiny favas the size of my ring finger. There are massive tangles of purple lilac and eggs for sale in shades of cream, pale blue, and soft mocha. I've braised baby artichokes every night this week, and made this soup twice. Spring it is. Do you remember the simple carrot soup I highlighted back in January? This is the asparagus version. I trade in asparagus for the carrots, then tweak a bit depending on what I have in the kitchen. But, really, it just goes to show how you can evolve your favorite recipes as the seasons change. For lunch I reheat it, grab one of the hard-boiled eggs I try to keep on hand in the refrigerator, and then root around for something crunchy - nuts, crackers, seeds.Continue>>
Green Curry Dumplings
Big hugs. If you're up for a bit of a project, and you want to make something to lift the spirits, this is where you need to land. A few of you asked about these dumplings when I posted a snapshot of them to Instagram a couple of weeks back. They were a Friday night project after a busy week. Instead of going out, an evening of repetitive filling and folding sounded perfect. The filling was inspired strictly by the contents of the refrigerator, as a trip to the store would have defeated the entire purpose :) The filling: caramelized leeks, green curry paste, and cooked mung beans. Everything is thinned with coconut milk and then mashed and smashed a bit. I rolled out fresh dumpling wrappers (which we've talked about before), and decided on folding them into big hugs. Because really, who can resist a dumpling filled with green curry spiked deliciousness folded into big hugs?Continue>>
Favorites List (03.17.15)
The Fall 2015 Ten Speed Press catalog did the dive through my mail slot the other day, and it looks incredible. I feel so fortunate to be in such good company. This is the point for me in the book process where things start to get very real. Behind the scenes, we're still putting some of the final touches on pages, tweaking little details here and there, but the catalog announces what is not far over the horizon. I took a few snapshots of the Near & Far catalog pages so you can see how things are shaping up (I'll thread them in below), I'm also chipping away at a post related to the cookbook proposal process that I'll try to publish soon. In the meantime, here are a few favorites - I've been sitting on some of the links here for a while, apologies, and enjoy! -h

Diana Henry's Uzbeki Carrots
This is the most interesting carrot recipe I've tried in a long time, and I'll start by attempting to explain why. In a single bite, you realize these carrots are drunk with a cooking liquid infused with fragrant spices like saffron, cumin, and cinnamon. They take on pops of sweetness because they are punctuated by dried fruit. Deep savory flavor balances out the sweetness and is developed through a lengthy simmer incorporating caramelized onions and tomatoes. You hit spots of fresh, green herbaceousness from mint, and chiles, and cilantro, and then crunch here and there from pistachios. I loved these carrots on their own. I loved them over fregola pasta (with yogurt). I loved them on sandwiches, and folded into toasted pita along with lots of arugula and shredded hard-boiled egg...Continue>>
Anna's California Miso Avocado Salad
There is a list of impressive cookbooks queuing up for release this spring. Thoughtful, beautiful titles filled with writing and recipes that make you excited to light up your kitchen. I've been cooking from a number of these books, and can't wait to single out a few favorites in the coming weeks. First up is A Modern Way to Eat by Anna Jones. The book is a 352-page stunner, and an example of a first book going very right. You have Anna, who has substantial professional experience as a London-based writer and stylist (you've likely encountered her work on the pages of Jamie magazine). And she has paired up with one of my favorite photographers Brian W. Ferry. The book was published last year by 4th Estate under the guidance of Louise Haines (Nigel Slater's editor) and Georgia Mason in the U.K., and is set for U.S. release by Ten Speed Press in the United States this April. I've taken a few snapshots of some spreads down below, and thought I'd share Anna's California-inspired salad made with miso, avocado, & lima beans. It's the kind of substantial salad I love, particularly in the winter. Seasonal greens are tossed with an assertive, creamy miso dressing. There are beans, crunchy seeds, broccoli, and avocado - it all comes together into a brilliant, beautiful, feel-good salad...Continue>>
Tokyo Photos & Soba Water
I didn't take many photographs on my recent trip to Tokyo - 100, or so? As I was browsing them on the flight home it was clear that a good percentage were of the view from our hotel room thirty floors above Ginza. Spending a week in the sky made me understand why one would want to live in a high-rise, something I've never given much thought before now. The huge windows framed the horizon and cityscape, and the colors, reflections, and mood changed by the minute depending on the weather, time of day, and how the light was progressing. I wanted to share a few snapshots today, and also one of my favorite things to eat in Tokyo. Sip, is actually the better verb. It's something so simple, it doesn't require a recipe, but I suspect few of you have enjoyed it - Soba Yu.
Near & Far: A New Cookbook
I've been living with a mammoth binder and a pair of double-sided bulletin boards covered with photos for the past few years. The binder held notes, recipes, ideas, and to-do lists. The bulletin boards allowed me to see dozens of photos at a glance. It's how my next book slowly started to take shape. I'd keep the boards and binder close so I could easily add photos, move recipes, tweak, and prune as I'd go about my day. One of the things I loved about working on my last cookbook, Super Natural Every Day, was establishing a sense of place through the photos, recipes, and writing. That book was very much rooted in Northern California, and I knew immediately upon finishing it I'd likely want to explore the intersection of place, ingredients, and recipe inspiration even further. I turned to my journals, and revisited places I loved, and began to explore this as the direction for my next cookbook. It took a while to complete, but I'm excited to share a new cookbook with you this September. The binder can't hold one more page, and the bulletin boards are have run out of space...Continue>>
