Health likes big butts, and it cannot lie
Big thanks to the fabulous Chiara for posting this excellent news item to Twitter back while I was in the land of needing all the good news I could get. “Science could look to deliberately increase hip fat” for health, according to the British researchers cited in this article. Needless to say, I’m looking forward to reading the original paper.
A TracyFood picture is podcast-famous!
So two weeks ago I got a Flickr comment on the picture Breakfast, annotated, which you may know from theAbout Tracy page on this here blog. Turns out my breakfast now plays a supporting role in Episode 2 of The Flickerman web radio serial, which you really must hear to believe. (more…)

Posted by Tracy in : cheese, fangirl, funny, random, silly , CommentsSo I think it might be Fangirl Week here at TracyFood, in case yesterday’s little gush-fest didn’t make that abundantly clear (the David Byrne concert was ten thousand million billion kinds of awesome, by the way, and everybody who didn’t make it is hereby invited to envy me some more). Today I would like to celebrate some awesome food-related webcomics, both old and new. Here we go! (more…)
Wednesday Greenmarket wackiness! 27 May 2009 9:06 am
Posted by Tracy in : fun, funny, nyc, pictures, random, summer , CommentsSo one of these days I’m going to figure out how to incorporate my Twitter feed into this blog, for short attention span theater TracyFood, like this example from two Wednesdays ago:
