Punta del Este - I’m going to hit you with a third post today - I want to finish off writing about my trip to Uruguay and move on to new things back home, and, I’m stuck at home waiting for the police to show up. No one did anything wrong, but in order to [...]

(That’s the second great lesson I learned in the Cub Scouts.) I particularly dislike the custom of plopping cold ice cream in the center of hot soufflés, a perverse practice that ruins two desserts at once. I never cared much for Chuckles as a kid, and I don’t go for gelées now. That’s never going to change." - Alan Richman, GQ
