There’s more to lunch than flavor
Today’s lunch was another homerun. Not surprisingly, Nora Bouaziz was involved. The other half of this culinary super-duo was Lainie Liberti, making a rare appearance in the kitchen. Her avoidance of the kitchen has nothing to do with Women’s Lib, rather, Lainie’s usually glued to the computer with a massive workload and simply doesn’t have […]

couch surfers, cheese, and no Steven Seagal?!
Today’s lunch was an entertaining mix of four different pizzas, the visit of a French couch surfer, an over-lunch brainstorming meeting for a new campaign for a bay area client, a lesson in pronouncing the term “Episcopalian”, a gourmet cheese plate, the different politically-correct terms for types of different native Spanish speakers, a boss-intern spontaneous […]

Salad Punks
Today’s lunch brought forth a question: At what point does a salad have too many different ingredients? Our salad contained spinach, random mixed greens, sliced muenster cheese, diced mushrooms, strawberries, chopped carrots, tomato wedges, potato shrapnel and hard-boiled egg fragments, to name a few. In total mass, the extras (non leafy food matter) outweighed the […]

Wednesdays are officially vegetarian.
04.30.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsMy first day at jungle [8] was certainly eventful. I was ready to go food hunting when Lainie decided to assign me and Tuan-Ching to lunch duty. Being the accomplished chef (not really) that I was, naturally I jumped at the opportunity to put my talents on display. I was glad to […]

Lunch Flambe
04.16.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsToday’s lunch was a celebration of hard-boiled eggs, citrus glazed chicken, white rice, garlic bread, a kick-ass salad a la Bouaziz, and, above all, Tuan-Ching’s twenty-third birthday.
Assembling the birthday cake ensemble was daunting. Rather than simply adorning the cake with 23 candles, the decision was made to light letter-shaped candles in the traditional H-A-P-P-Y B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y […] -

herbs, spices, vegetables and…nothing else
Today, the tectonic plates of Europe (Nora) and Asia (Tuan Ching) shook and met each other as a result in a sumptuous culinary feast for the first time in history. By adding harmoniously and imaginatively herbs, spices, vegetables in their magic pot, the “cordon bleu” chefs granted our eyes an explosion of colors, our […]

Tuna For Two
Today, I am sad to announce, is my last day in the jungle. Although I, of course, intend to remain a jungle native, my physical departure from the tribe has warranted a certain jungle [8] tradition: to be presented with a lunch so grand as to elicit a fond remembrance for ages to follow.
Lainie, […]

Sustenance for a Weary Traveler
It had been raining for the past week, and the sun was nowhere in sight. The weather was cold, and I was feeling even colder. As I sat at my computer, diligently working away on PlanJam iconography and trying to ignore the cold, I was suddenly distracted by a sweet, aromatic smell.
The smell was of […] -

A memorable lunch
As today is not only the last day of January, but also this writer’s last day in the jungle, the natives took a lengthy safari to Ethiopia. We crossed that vast ocean called the 10 freeway to make a visit to Rosalind’s Ethiopian Restaurant. Drained by our lengthy trek and unaccustomed to the bright sun […]

Celebration of the palate in the jungle!!!!!!
Far from the singing cicadas, far from the red pepper braided branches ornating the porches, far from the lavender smell of the southern landscape of France that inspired Van Gogh, the Mediterranea stirred our imagination as lunch time knocked at the door.
In the torsade-shaped basket, red plump and juicy heirlooms, voluptuous potatoes, sunny granny […]
