10.20.08All the party people in the house say HO…ly Jesus, I need a napSo on top of everything else, I've come down with the cold that ate New York. Or rather, the cold that deafened New Yorkers' already selective hearing with its hacking cough and trumpetlike snoring, and drowned the city in unctuous, sticky mounds of mucous from the never-ending supplies in our sinus cavities.

04.17.08Thursday Night Smackdown: I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly.Prunes, prunes, the musical fruit; the more you eat, the more you shit uncontrollably. So I pretty much dream about prune-stuffed gnocchi with vin santo and foie gras every night. And often during the day, as well. So it's a good thing that No. 9 Park gives out the recipe on request.
