News from my browser tabs, off the top of my head, and beyond:

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.

Ack! 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…)

I mean, wow do I wish I lived closer to this kind of fast food. (more…)

Happy weekend, everybody! Today’s featured picture is from 23 October 2007, at a lodge in Monjo where we camped on the grounds but ate in the dining room and at lunch, were invited into the kitchen to see something super-cool:
