OK, I’ve reported my lunchcapades from the National Geographic building, the Conde Nast building, and to add to it…here’s some pictures from my lunch at the New York Times building a couple of weeks ago. The great thing is that the food was subsidized so we got all this food for like…$12. Not too bad [...]

Putting the New York Times Magazine’s Nuyorican Cilantro Gremolata to the Test, on Steak Instead of Roast Chicken Legs
I saw this cilantro gremolata recipe in the New York Times Magazine (June 28, 2009) and promised myself I would try it because it was way too easy to pass up. It’s kind of like a chimichurri sauce, I guess, without vinegar or parsely (lemon or lime is used as the acid in this). So [...]

The New York Times Wants to Shatter Your Food Dreams, and They’re Probably Right

North Korean Noodles That Delay Hunger + My Favorite Way to Eat Noodles
I read this in the BBC news today and it made me feel really sad. Here I am, stuffing my face with a muffin and a Caprese sandwich, and North Koreans are figuring out ways to kill their hunger pangs. Apparently, they’ve developed a kind of “wonder” noodle has extra fat and fiber in it [...]
