toastykittenDon't people read anymore? I like Anthony Bourdain, but the first sentence of his narration on the L.A. No Reservations episode put me off completely for the rest of it. He said that "Dorothy Parker said of L.A. that there's no there there" which, as far as I can tell, has not been corrected anywhere. Gertrude Stein said it, and she said it about Oakland, and it's the only thing anyone ever quotes about Oakland, which always annoys me.
I think he should totally do a show about Oakland. We've got good food here! It will end up with my dad cooking dinner.
So Mark and I bought some live lobsters to cook over the weekend. Mark decided to not do the "boil alive" technique, but to use the "butcher knife between the eyes" technique. I now know why people freak out over killing lobsters. Lobsters keep moving after they die, and one of them was foaming up at the mouth afterwards. It was pretty gross. Next time we'll just toss them in the pot or something.
