what i am reading in the internet.

•  ice cream picasso trailer. weird. but i like it.
• nytimes magazine and foodie periodicals. big big love to love to remedy quarterly and put a egg on it. totally interested in wilder. not yet committed. 
• the nytimes makes me want to try pelforth beer.
• i am going to attempt to give up my car (which is a pain in the ass) for an incredible bike. video to follow. here's the video:

summer cocktails.

it's hard to drink anything but gin or beer or prosecco in the summer. but we've got a ton of bottles in the bourbon/whiskey/scotch family. and some rum. preparing for our caribbean-themed belmont-stakes-watching party, we consumed a handful of cuba libres. that is, rum + coke + tons of lime. much unlike the ever-popular rum + coke of high school, this one is drinkable and doesn't taste too sweet or leave a sugary feel on your teeth.

however, the drink of summer 2012 is probably bourbon + limonata. i threw a couple of these together (with the oversized ice) the other night for me and casey and they were really delicious. and for all occasions, not just summer.

oh, mexico.

i ran off to mexico with casey for the weekend to see yelena and dominic get married. video (yes, video!) to follow.

and i swear i am going to post more.

the best ice cream on earth.

yeah, we got some blue bell up in here.

a little round-up.

• a history of the taco.
• facebook's valuation in burger king whoppers.
• the veggie burgers i plan to make this week. 
• a space shuttle food truck. and it's for sale!  
• my garden project has a website. 
• i am going to be speaking about said garden project at the farm to cafeteria conference. 
• you should be watching food curated. seriously. every video rocks.
• and for kicks, the beastie boys's sabotage video with kids in their roles (thanks, blake!): 

happy food.

it's a little naughty. 

canned.

we are trying all the beers in cans this summer. over the weekend, it was oskar blues old chub and mother earth sunny haze. and a little hangout on the pallet furniture in the yard.
