  3. Food is cheap and plentiful today at Berkeley Safeway. Corn 25c each, Foster Farms young chicken 79c/lb. "Parts of giblets may be missing."
  4. Last night's cocktail: 1 oz joy 1oz gloom 1oz phantom flavor 1oz reassurance; much interference ahead, but I've never been surer in my life.
  5. Elmwood feels like the Village tonight. Waited 30 min before getting a Mediterranee table. Festive Friday outing, yet something is missing..

  15. Oscar Wilde: All great ideas are dangerous. Yes, I do have a few GREAT ideas. In my head they shall stay. Not torching perfectly good eggs.
  16. Marcus Brauchli @mbrauchli executive editor of The Washington Post former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal (reluctantly) twitters

  19. The cleanest, laziest way to poach eggs: Crack 1 egg into a ramekin, poke the yolk, top it with 2 tablespoons of water, microwave for 40 sec
