Beyond Awesome

Met Executive Chef Carlos Llaguno on Monday, he signed a copy of the Les Halles Cookbook for me that friends had purchased (by Anthony Bourdain, had already read it and made recipes {fav is the bœuf bourguignon} and recognized Carlos immeadiatly from being Tony's right-hand Sous Chef during the day.)

Also, of note this week... Ralph Fiennes opened my cab door. Yes, Voldemort is a softie.

Steampunks and Salads

Very excited for Halloween this weekend, especially as I've seen the Steampunk weapons at Joe & Susan's (crafted from NERF guns, patiently hand painted to detail.) And while I hope to stick within my caloric budget, I learned today that Rico's salad at Mi Cocina is a whopping 1,500 calories.
Blarg.

Across the Pond

If I were in London, and should I have an iPhone, I'd be running around the streets playing Kingmaker. How smart and interactive of an idea! Getting points that you can spend in-game, getting exercize too, and fighting for your team. I'm trying to figure out a way to work this into a revival of the Show Me Games, interactive bicycling.

Once Fable III releases, I know that I'll be back into gaming mode for a few days. Can't wait.
