I was going to avoid speaking about George W. Bush on this blog for awhile because, though still very much alive, he's essentially dead to American politics. True, his disastrous presidency will be with us for many years into the future, but he's toxic to everyone but those who still support him behind closed doors. Of course, that's misi...

Food Travel. Politics. Academia. Writing, Reading, and Argumentation. And other little things. Thursday, June 16, 2011. Nothing fancy tonight. In Shanghai for a month of teaching, and surrounded by wonderful and affordable restaurants, I’m craving street food again. Over there, my favorite stand, right where it is every night. As I ponder what to have for dinner tonight, I talk to the proprietor about my choices. 8220;Which noodles do you want today? Or maybe the rice again? I laugh, too, and tell them n...

Exhibit at LA Co. Museum of Art for my birthday. Great show. Go! Ends on Halloween, of course; that's gonna be a fun day at the museum, I'll wager. But this post is not about Tim Burton and his art. No, it's about lunch. And coming out of the museum, our mission was to go to Kalbi Burger. Were they calling us?

Food Travel. Politics. Academia. Writing, Reading, and Argumentation. And other little things. Friday, October 21, 2011. Eating the World: Australia. So, my brother and I like to travel, and have done a decent bit of it, but are always starving for more. Which is where the eating comes in. We also like to eat. So, last year Brian had the brilliant idea to cook a dinner from each country in the world, in alphabetical order. We could travel without leaving the kitchen. I know who: people from that country!

Food Travel. Politics. Academia. Writing, Reading, and Argumentation. And other little things. Monday, September 12, 2011. Food: Making Mike J.'s Famous Ribs. I love baby back ribs. But I didn't think I could ever make them myself, or not anywhere as good as a rib joint anyway. I just figured it was one of those food things not worth the effort- like. In all sorts of places. But then my friend, Mike J., started experimenting. Here's how to make Mike J.'s Famous Ribs:. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
