I’m not gone! 28 January 2009 11:30 am
Posted by Tracy in : friends,meta,nyc,school,silly , add a commentBut school started last week, and I got a little distracted. This week Allison is visiting from Oregon, and we’re having so much fun playing in the city that I’m putting TracyFood posts on hold until next Monday, February the second. If our adventures continue along their current trajectory, I will have many delicious and geeky stories to tell.
Monkey Monday: Happy long weekend! 19 January 2009 10:41 am
Posted by Tracy in : events,meta,news,politics,random , add a commentI’m sorry this post is a day late and super-short (ignore the time stamp: it really went up on 20 January at about 10:40 am), but I’m not at all sorry to be headed over to La Pregunta Arts Café for their inauguration celebration. Later on I may have to stop by Krispy Kreme, if only to piss off The American Life League, who interpret the phrase “free donut of choice” to mean that the whole world is aligned against them. Ah, if only.
Later: more about former White House chef Walter Scheib’s talk at the James Beard House last week.

Wednesday whining (and belated monkeys). 14 January 2009 3:20 pm
Posted by Tracy in : books,fangirl,geekery,health,health at every size,Marion Nestle,meta,nutrition , 2 commentsWhine, whine, whine-itty whine, whine. I don’t wanna write! Wah, wah, wah. I’m editing pretty well, though, so the final installment of the guest post/interview series about food and chemotherapy is ready to go up (see here and here for the first two posts). So that’s a spot of good news.
Another bit of good-news-bad-news-good-news: I got the syllabus for the nutrition class I’m taking next term, and I’m all excited about it. Except for the part where I have to read Walter freaking Willett. As I whined on Facebook last week, I hope that man gets his face rubbed in some unhealthy skinny people right quick. Seriously, kids. How hard is it to acknowledge that healthy food and exercise are good for everyone of all shapes and sizes, irregardless of whether that precious, precious weight loss results? Apparently, “healthy stuff is healthy” is too hard to print without mentioning the hideous specter of fatness, not just for boring “diet stories sell” mainstream media but even for somebody as obviously not-completely-stupid as Willett. Sigh. Back to good news: (more…)
