Oh man it’s been a week. That is a long time. I have been holding out a little because I haven’t finished the second section of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and I wanted to tell you more about that. In the meantime, I would suggest checking out his correspondence with Whole Food’s CEO, John Mackey. (Start with Mackey’s blog on the Whole Foods website, and Michael Pollan’s responses are on his site.)

I drink an inordinate amount of iced coffee from Starbucks lately. Crave.

I got a mandoline this weekend, something I’ve been wanting for a while but unnecessarily agonizing over. It’s fun and makes quick work of slicing firmer produce. If you are gentle (and careful with your fingers) you can also get it to go through tomatoes and the like. I can see my next trip to the farmers market being ruled entirely by what is mandoline-able. Wouldn’t apples be great?

It is really hot, and it’s not even summer yet.
