Stuff unrelated to food, wine & spirits that I just feel like posting.
Just time once again for the monthly round-up of unused photos. Time is really flying this year, no? It was a month of various little festivals and food events: The third annual Buenos Aires Chili Cookoff happened early in the month, and once again I was a chili judge. I’m not going in for a… Read More Moon Loon Tune June…
A month ago on this crazy trek I left off in Caballito, just past Parque Centenario, with deep debates on the merits of tasting the pizza from a second branch of a chain that I’d already tried. The final decision mine, I opted to just mention it, number it, and move on, sans nibbling. The… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 20 – 23
On to the wedding day itself – pretty much a, if I may use the term, straightforward wedding, with a few twists. Two gay men both working in the political world, one republican, one democrat, one traditional chinese family, one traditional jewish family, you know, all the usual things to be considered. Hey, I didn’t… Read More The Wedding Banquet
I’ve only been to Washington DC once before that counts as tourism. Oh, I ran down there three or four times over the years I lived in New York for one event or another – a leadership conference, a food show, a martial arts tournament, a gay march – but it was just for a… Read More WDC from a different view

One of the things I get asked about regularly is whether or not we’ve ever had a really difficult or awkward night. For the most part, no, there have been occasional guests who were unpleasant or trying for one reason or another, and there have been nights where things started out slow as people took… Read More Mislaid in Rendition
Another month has up and gone and it seems like all we did was work, work, work. I’m definitely ready for a little vacation time coming up in mid-May. Between laboring and, generally, sucky weather, I didn’t spend a lot of time out and about this last month, so little to note… But, edging into… Read More April Showers…
It’s always nice to know that people are hanging on your every word. Really, it is, right? Perhaps not every word, but it’s going on a month since I last posted in this series, and some of you are just not standing for it. I’ve gotten half a dozen e-mails asking when I was going… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 14 – 16
