At a junction of thoughts that represents some substance of my life right now: a chapter in Moby Dick; a talk about food in high art given by Leonard Barkan; the local-food-movement mantra know your food, know your farmer; swimming, during which activity my thoughts form folds with each lap and the thought that my [...]

The weather this weekend is Janus-faced: stormy, dark, and wintry yesterday, bright, clear, and spring-like today. A perfect morning for walking around Rome, and for seeing the sunlight stream through the windows of Borromini’s whimsical, symmetrical, magnificent dome of Sant’ Ivo della Sapienza.

Sorry, but this post is just about the kitchen tap. When we eat locally, let’s not neglect to drink locally as well.
