Posted by Tracy in : geekery, vegetarianism, news, books , add a commentWhile I’m playing catch-up (must run to work very soon!), here’s a not-so-small selection of awesome things I’ve read or bookmarked to read so far this month, sort of organized into themes. I did my best to start and end with fun things, with a good mix of light and heavy in between. (more…)
Friday funnies: Stuff White People Like 29 February 2008 3:10 pm
Posted by Tracy in : kitchen gear, breakfast, vegetarianism, consumerism, Morning Glory, vegan, anthropology, vegetarian, identity, restaurants , 2 commentsHappy Leap Day! Laughter is good Tracy food, and the blog Stuff White People Like makes me laugh. Have you seen it? It’s completely brilliant, as long as you don’t read the comments (don’t say I didn’t warn you). Here are a few samples I picked for their relevance to TracyFood:
#36 Breakfast Places (I swear I’m printing this one out for Morning Glory).
#54 Kitchen Gadgets
That last one, of course, hits especially close to home. (more…)
In case you missed it: New York magazine on female chefs and more (including Janeane Garofalo, aw yeah). 19 November 2007 2:06 pm

Anyway.)
For some reason, none of the food blogs on my long-neglected Google Reader mentioned New York magazine’s October 21 piece on the city’s few female top chefs, “A Woman’s Place?”; I read about it on Salon’s Broadsheet.

Posted by Tracy in : nepal, bangkok, vegetarianism, travel, monkeys, Morning Glory, pictures, restaurants , add a commentOn Friday I mentioned that I have a few different ideas for ways to start writing about the Nepal trip, but I also want to get back into writing regular TracyFood posts: recipes, interesting food news, book and restaurant reviews, and of course rants about restaurant customers. So I thought today I would make a list of possible topics to write about, including stuff I put on hold because I was going on this crazy trip, and also maybe mix in some random stuff I saw on the InterGoogleTubes that were so TracyFood I was glad not to have missed them this past month. So. Here I go. (As always, if you’re reading this and want to hear more about any of it, that’s what comments are for, and they are much appreciated.) (more…)
