This odd contraption is incredible. Where do I find one?

And voila. Pretty darn close to the @tastynalder’s salad I keep dreaming about- crisp ice shocked #radicchio, chopped soft boiled #eggs, crisp thick cut #bacon, #avocado white wine vinaigrette and shredded #manchego. Almost like a twist on frisée aux #lardons. (at home base)

I recently ate something quite similar at a dinner party, and it was absolutely delicious! My friend M calls it “Salad Carbonara.”

Found in the dictionary.

Let the book remain open at all times.

My dictionary of choice is the Merriam-Webster Collegiate dictionary (although, I also have some fondness for the portable versions of the Oxford American and American Heritage dictionaries). I have used the collegiate version of Webster’s as my go-to for about twenty-five years now. The massive Unabridged Merriam-Webster, discussed above, looks like a thing of pure joy. Also, it appears to come with its own proprietary “Dictionary Table.”

I love Fritz Lang’s brilliant, early-sound film, M.

Football urinal

At the National Football Museum in Manchester, even the toilets are themed.

I am a fan of this football-themed display of urinal ingenuity from the Manchester City Centre in Manchester, England.

Ferguson, Missouri USA

I thought this photograph from the “Ferguson unrest” in 2014 was terrific.

The Cliffs of Moher, on the west coast of Ireland, are perhaps the most beautiful and moving geographic “wonders” that I’ve ever seen in person. I’m not sure that I can articulate why, exactly. But I found their scale, severity, and austere beauty... absolutely breathtaking.
