A Coffee Shop Closes, and There’ll Be Sad Songs Down at Mory’s - New York Times

I can't believe The Doodle in New Haven is closing. Anna and I ate there many mornings and days while in New Haven and her dad was a big fan (still has a coffee mug). Amazing how things change. Sad. Just very very sad... A Coffee Shop Closes, and There’ll Be Sad Songs Down at Mory’s - New York Times

How to Make Authentic Pizza (or Sometimes I Miss New Haven)

Man, this makes me really miss New Haven (the birthplace of "pizza").  Going down Wooster St. on a cold evening to stand in line for a great authentic pizza from Sally's or Pepe's is a sweet memory.  This guy has backwards engineered the highly secretive recipe for real Italian pizza (not the Papa John's stuff) and it looks like a fun experiment.  Not sure I'd want to rig ...

D’OH!

News on 6 anchor Terry Hood says Officer Phillip Short received a text message on his personal cell phone Thursday night regarding marijuana. He didn't recognize the phone number and didn't know who sent the message, so he decided not to respond. The messages kept coming Friday and finally he decided to play along. Officer Short messaged the person back, setting up a meeting to do the drugs. "I ...

Sierra Nevada

One of my favorite beers, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, is now a screw top (instead of requiring a key)?? Darn. There's something mystical about the great American microbrews and European/Asian brews that require a key or opener.

Beer First?

What about beverages? • The order that food is eaten can make a significant difference in the number of calories absorbed. For example, eating a high-fiber food prior to eating a high-fat food will cause the body to absorb up to 30 percent fewer total calories than if they are eaten in the opposite order.Gullible.info Blogged with Flock

Peach Pickin' Time

I love the Jimmy Rodgers Song, Peach Pickin Time Down in Georgia (Willie and Beck did a great cover on Letterman a few years back)... When it's peach picking time in Georgia apple picking time in Tennessee Cotton picking time in Mississippi everybody picks on me When it's roundup time in Texas the cowboys make whoopee And way down in old Alabama it's gal picking time for me There's the bluegrass down in ...

An Idea Whose Time Has Finally Come…

Mixing together two of my favorite things ... beer and internet. From ajaxian.com (a great site about AJAX code in developing sites)... There’s a new social networking site that brings a little Ajax into the mix and tries to link up beer drinkers (and their favorite places to go) - Coastr.com Coastr is an experiment in social networking for beer snobs (meant as a compliment, of course!). The basic idea is ...
