Monkey Monday: live from the east coast edition 12 May 2008 10:35 pm
Posted by Tracy in : travel, nepal, pictures, dessert, friends, books, cooking , add a commentGreetings from the Garden State, y’all! Um, I mean, youse. So far the trip has a daily average of meeting up with at least one awesome person I haven’t seen in over a year, and that trend is looking to continue well into the week, to which I say, “Right on!” Highlights so far are as follows (and wouldn’t you know, they’re all food-related):
On Saturday I got to experience The Bent Spoon of Princeton, NJ. I had crème fraiche gelato and rhubarb sorbet, and they were both fabulous. The gelato was like vanilla on steroids, only with a nice fresh tinge of tartness, and the sorbet was amazingly smooth and creamy, like I could easily have been fooled into believing it was sherbet, with cream added. YUM. (more…)

Posted by Tracy in : travel, school, friends , 1 comment so farThe taxi to the airport should be here in half an hour, so of course I’ve got a lot of last-minute running around to do, but where better to freak out than the Internet? I’ll be in Jersey tonight through Tuesday morning, then in NYC until Saturday freaky early. Next week’s posts will, of course, be all kinds of travel-sporadic, and I’ll be back to my usual schedule of missing Thursdays on Monday 19 May.

Posted by Tracy in : nepal, travel, feminism, pictures, meta , 1 comment so farSo to quote the late, great Bill Hicks, “Boy, I’m in a mood.” What’s more, if you follow my Flickr photostream, you may have noticed that it’s sort of dried up on the Nepal trip front. There’s a reason for that, and today I am harnessing the power of my mood to confront it. If you’ve come to TracyFood for sunshine and happiness, I’m afraid today is not your day. Tomorrow I’ll be all lighthearted and liveblogging America’s Test Kitchen, but (more…)

Did you hear that the only female head waiter at Per Se wrote a book about the experience? From that article, it sounds like it could be fun if you’re into that whole behind-the-scenes-at-restaurants thing. Especially if you’re curious about super-extreme high end fine dining.
But maybe you’re more in the mood for (more…)
The weekly specials menu and other pictures. 1 April 2008 1:38 am
Posted by Tracy in : nepal, travel, pictures, work, Morning Glory , 3 commentsAck! It wasn’t April yet, but I was a fool last week, when I was responsible enough to pick up and scan and post a copy of the latest Morning Glory organic specials menu on Friday, but then forgot to say anything about it around here. Oop. Anyway, here it is:
As of closing time on Monday, we hadn’t run out of any ingredients, and the special pancake made a delicious shift meal, oh yes. In other TracyFood on Flickr news, I just finished posting my pictures of Mani Rimdu in Tengboche (the official site has gone to their 2008 information already). It’s been almost five months since I got back from the trip, and it feels like I’ve entered the picture-posting (and captioning) homestretch. Whee! Here’s some highlights (more…)
