Did you know you can buy sheep's heads from the Greenmarket? Violet Hill Farms often has them, frozen and skinned, eyeballs and all. Apparently they're great for curries and stews. People go crazy for that beef cheek ravioli at Babbo. Why not sheep cheek? I won't lie, it's a bit disconcerting to be able to look your dinner in the face. It's like that human jerky Bodies exhibit. But I'd try sheep's head curry sometime.
On a side note, I went to DSW and Century 21 today to try and find a pair of commuter shoes that would be appropriate for when I'm in business drag. Is there anything more torturous than trying to discount shoe shop on a Saturday? I thought, this must be cosmic punishment for not being able to suck it up and pursue a lucrative career like my parents told me to.
hey i dig your blog. and ditto on the dsw discount shoe shopping on a saturday--i just did that myself, whilst procrastinating from a paper (i'm a grad student). aside from nyc have you traveled around to SE Asia or somesuch and sampled their cuisines, Anthony-Bourdain-hells-angel style?
Ugh, I hate the prospect of shoe shopping, but the new season is upon us. I never find anything I like until it's already out of style...
forget the chaos. shoe shop at zappos.com
Hi girl foodie, I have traveled around Thailand, but haven't been since 2003. My family's from Thailand. I didn't really do a whole lot of Fear Factor type eating, but I always eat a lot of amazing food.
I really haven't done any traveling yet this year, which is a bummer. I gotta work on that.
