MANGO and GINGER: Food, Gender and Body Language
http://mangoandginger.blogspot.com/2015/07/food-gender-and-body-language.html
OTHER STUFF I LOVE. Tuesday, July 07, 2015. Food, Gender and Body Language. What an awesome thesis topic. The short version of the (also short) article at the link is that the author, a woman who just graduated from Occidental College, wrote her senior thesis about how women eat differently in front of other women vs. in front of men. She observed 76 pairs of diners at two high-end West Coast restaurants and discovered that when they're with men, women are, basically, daintier. But still - what a topic!

MANGO and GINGER: Beer Me a Beer
http://mangoandginger.blogspot.com/2015/07/beer-me-beer.html
OTHER STUFF I LOVE. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Beer Me a Beer. It's a sudsy world these days. Between the loosening of brewing laws (locally) and a surge in craft brewing, the booze world in 2015 appears to belong to the beermakers. In 2014, craft breweries generated $19.6 billion of $101.5 billion U.S. beer sales - a 22% increase over the year. That is.a lot of craft beer. But wait, there's more. In Maryland, it's Duckpin from Union Brewing - a brew that is, these days, almost as common on restaurant men...

MANGO and GINGER: Insta Data...on Food
http://mangoandginger.blogspot.com/2015/07/insta-dataon-food.html
OTHER STUFF I LOVE. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Insta Data.on Food. Instagram's food data crunching and presentation is just on fire right now. They've created a cool, semi-interactive website focused on "The Food Capitals of Instagram". The cities where certain frequently photographed foods are hottest. Since the data is driven by numbers, it's not a huge surprise that large global cities - London, New York, Seoul, Sydney - dominate the discussion. But there are still some intriguing findings. I was just in...

This is the second installment in a five part series all about my history with food. The first installment is. When I was little, I spent a lot of time at the grocery store with my mother. Not a lot of time shopping, mind you, but a lot of time standing in the aisles, watching my mom talk to friends she ran into (she still does this). The chats broke up the monotony. I also find ...

MANGO and GINGER: The Hemingway Pub Crawl
http://mangoandginger.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-hemingway-pub-crawl.html
OTHER STUFF I LOVE. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. The Hemingway Pub Crawl. I love this article, on PUNCH,. About the lasting mystique of Hemingway the Boozehound and how that has made the bars he frequented - so many years ago - visit-worthy shrines. I'm certainly one of those people who makes a point of visiting Hemingway's old haunts. Last year, when we were in Paris, we ate (and drank) at Les Deux Magots, Cafe de Flore, Closeries des Lilas and Brasserie Lipp. That's a lot of Hemingway action. And a bunch ...
