golf has a psa running during the us open to encourage quicker play on the course. what kind of a scourge must it be for them to do that, or is that the only problem they have left now that theyve conquered racism and belly putters?

the irony was somewhat lost on my dentist that his story about needing to school his proctologist on bedside manner might not exactly be appropriate moments before he put his fingers in my mouth. that i gagged uncomfortably on the cotton dental rolls moments later was entirely coincidental.

giant rodent kills man in belarus. be careful with your ridiculous wildlife photo ops, i guess is the lesson from this one.
In a rare culinary outing we went to Atera on Wednesday night. One of the best meals of my life. Not counting meals memorable for reasons beyond the food (Skinny's 71 Clinton NYE party, etc...) this was probably top 3 along with Mugaritz and I can't even think of another to put in that class.
Very small room. Open kitchen with surrounding bar seating, and then just one other table (we had the table.) Just a single prie fixe menu. No choices, no substituions. The food is highly inventive, but not in a crazy sci-fi way (not that there's anything wrong with that style.) Great ingredients paired in unexpected ways with a lot of thought obviously going into both flavor and texture combinations. Each course was a real delight. Started with 10 rapid fire "snacks", followed by three small sort of appetizer like dishes, followed by three slighly more substantial but still small entree like things, followed by a bunch of desserts including the entirely edible "egg" shown below. It was a ton of food, but not enough to make us feel bloated afterwards. I love this style of small plates. Sort of like ordering everything on a more tradional menu and then sharing, except you don't have to share!
Highly recommended.
