I know it's not good for me, but seriously, I don't maintain this figure by watching what I eat.

Rick and Aedan

June 27, 2008

So what do you say to someone when you haven't seen them in 25 years? That's what my friend Aedan said this week when we met up for a visit. He's been living abroad for most of his adult life and lives in Finland now with his family. He found my website and recognized me by my toes.

He's kept in touch with our mutual friend Rick over the years and this week while I was in Chicago, speaking at a conference and recording a podcast and Aedan was in town visiting home - we all got together.

So - what do you say after 25 years?

Giordano's - that's what!

maybe it's just me...

Instantly delicious

June 24, 2008

This is Jeff. Jeff wants his coffee. Jeff Parker is my oldest friend. He's actually about the same age as me, but I've known him longer than nearly anyone I know. Jeff moved to Chile about 15 years ago and we've been keeping in contact ever since.


This is the dark and robust Uruguayan Cafe de leche. After a couple days of that, I flew from Uruguay to Chile.




I was surprised to find that the Chilean coffee is all instant. In fact if you want brewed coffee you need to ask and pay special for it. Apparently they export all of their coffee.




However, this is like no instant coffee I've ever had. If you made it dark - and most places simply hand you the hot water or hot milk and a tin of Nescafe - it's really good. That was by far the strangest thing I ate/drank on my South American jaunt.

...maybe it's just me

Dids Deli

June 6, 2008

I had to run some errands at lunch and just before I went home I stopped in at a Deli, just around the corner from my apartment.

Sweet Fancy Moses!
That's what I call a sandwich.

I'm never leaving.

Donut Day

June 5, 2008

Wednesday at the office is Donut Day.

It's a day devoted to donuts.

It doesn't get much better than that.

... maybe it's just me.
