Taking Wing
“The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”
- James Matthew Barrie, Scottish Novelist, best known for Peter Pan

SaltShaker
Casting a little flavor (and a few aspersions) on the world of food, drink, and life
The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.

"I have a few other dislikes, but not many. I don’t want salt sprinkled on my desserts, even high-minded pink sea salt from some Hawaiian coast. I don’t enjoy marshmallows snipped off tableside; it’s way too French. Of course, marshmallows roasted over a campfire are exquisite, the only dessert that should be served searing hot. (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
