this past week, ceF was 2 years old.
and somehow it’s been nearly 2 weeks since i’ve posted but… PEOPLE, I’VE BEEN BUSY. you see it’s been SPRING – and i’ve officially gone riding. so if you need me, you can find me in the mornings at edwin warner park worshiping at the altar of mother earth and heaving myself up some pretty decent sized tennessee hills..
but not only that – i was actually doing the W word…
i know, i know. working… it’s crazy – but it was just a short, intense job. this particular gig was feeding 16 people for 3 days. and since you’ve probably stopped by to hear about some food, i thought i’d share the menu with you so you can see that i’ve not been slacking – not in the least…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

sunday lunch
spaghetti, guanciale with caramelized onion and garlic
pork scallopine with a salad of shaved fennel, red onion, romaine, basil, capers, lemon zest and juice
honey glazed nectarines with balsamic zabaglione
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
so, 72 hours and 4 litres of olive oil later, it’s all behind me now. overall, i’d say it was a huge success thanks to the incredibly competent and graceful maggie spicer, whose palate and integrity i trust implicitly, along with my foodie buddy chris widick who cooked his ever-loving ass off and put up with my requests and demands respectfully and kindly because well, he had to – plus he’s a prince of a guy. together we all made beautiful food and fed a bunch of hungry and grateful songwriters.
and a very special thanks to mario batali, andrew carmellini, lidia bastianich, paul bertolli, the women from the river cafe in london, nate appleman, gina depalma, heidi’s tiramisu, vincent from taste catering in dallas and a huge shout out to judy rogers’ and her zuni café’s roasted chicken because it’s just THE BEST. these cooks were all there on my shoulder making it the consummate group effort, to say the very least…
but really, aren’t those almost always the very best?

215Dear Mrs. KarenThank you very much for your clear and concise post regarding this small but nevertheless quite important and hard to find advice.I’m from Portugal. I’m starting my PhD in Clinical Research and i will focus my attention in resistant schizophrenia. Would it make sense to have a supervisor from a foreign country and which i don’t know personally? Don’t you think that he would accept?Thank you very much for your help,Nuno

He has been accused of assaulting women I think 3 times now."Strange that you should bring that up because I've been thinking along the same lines for a few days now. Odd how there is not constant spotlight bombarding the news stations day and night, 7 days a week, emasculating Rothlisberger, and calling for him to be dropped from the team and all of the same treatment that our black players receive. Nope, instead they are making excuses for him. Only in America!

Mulla on ollut noita pigmenttihäiriöitä jo useampia vuosia. Mutta kun olen kauneudenhoidossa vähän kuutamolla, niin vasta pari vuotta sitten tajusin niiden olevan niitä, hehheh..On tässä kaikenlaista naamalle ilmestynyt muutenkin, oletan johtuvan hormoneista.. Finnejäkin tässä kolmevitosena, huoh.. Onneksi ei tarvitse enää ketään valloittaa, riittää kun hehkuu sisältä, niin on ulkoapäinkin ihan jees. : )

Kaisa,olet sinä varmaankin kuullut kyseisestä kanavasta, mutta se muisti, se muisti. :))Tässä viime aikoina minua on muistutettu erinäisiltä tahoilta, etten muista, mitä minulle on joskus kerrottu….Samaa vuosikertaa ollaan!Mikäli voin olla sinulle avuksi jossain "klikkausjutussa", olisin hyvin iloinen, jos voisin sen lähitulevaisuudessa toteuttaa.:)Anja, Kalkkisten kanava, se tosiaankin voisi sopia meillekin seuraavaksi kanavatieksi. :))Kiva seurata, miten lumimäärän laita on tulevana talvena. Paikallislehdessä ei ole vielä näkynyt ennustajaukkojen- eikä eukkojenkaan arvailuja.

Its like women and men aren’t interested unless it is something to do with lady gaga! Your stuffs great. Keep it up!

Hi! So I'm not a 'big' named blogger but we do seem to live close by (hello Memphis Bloggers going to BlogHer!) 🙂 Anyhow, just wanted to drop a note…thought you were pretty funny and yes, I can imagine you will be the next big thing since sliced bread, but only if I don't find the perfect pair of heels to snag brad pitt away from angelina and bring him with me to the conference! *wink*Hopefully I'll get to meet you there!! :)~K

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

02/11/2009 – 4:38pmPor cierto, según nuestros amigos “Alves regresa antes de lo previsto”. Yo creÃa que la única bestia, el único monstruo, el único en su especie capaz de recuperarse a velocidad sobrehumana era el del fusil. Lo de Alves parece más cosa del Pepe ese que hace brujerÃa… Seguro que ha sido él el que ha hecho que el fusilero no pueda recuperarse y ahora le haga favores mágicos al Barça. Villarato, Platinato, Pepinato… No confundir con Pepinazo, eso que lo pregunten a Casquero.

My spouse and i ended up being so thrilled when Peter managed to carry out his basic research using the ideas he came across when using the site. It is now and again perplexing to just always be giving for free strategies which usually the others have been selling. And we recognize we have got you to be grateful to for that. All of the explanations you made, the straightforward site navigation, the relationships you help to engender – it is everything extraordinary, and it’s really helping our son in addition to our family reckon that this concept is entertaining, and that is exceedingly essential. Thank you for all!
