"I mean, it used to be so romantic to go to a movie—to sit in a great big theater that had a balcony, and boxes, and fabulous gilt trim on the walls, and a big red velvet curtain. Now we go to horrible unadorned grey rectangles where the sound bleeds in from the grey rectangles right next door. It's sad."
— Nora Ephron

America's Test Kitchen: Which Vegetables are Healthier Than Others?: Studies published in the...:The NYT Opinion piece by Jo Robinson, 'Breeding the Nutrition Out of Our Food' (linked below) with accompanying graphic is an important read.
Which Vegetables are Healthier Than Others?: Studies published in the last fifteen years have shown that much of the produce we eat in America is low in phytonutrients, compounds with the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dementia. Since humans stopped foraging in the woods and started farming, we have been stripping the good stuff away from our fruits and vegetables in the quest for sweeter foods. It turns out that when it comes to health benefits, bitter might be better. Bitter greens like arugula are rich in cancer-fighting compounds called glucosinolates and are also higher in antioxidants than many other greens.

ramblingandpie: lickypickystickyme: If grandmothers around...
If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like "You need to eat!"
Photographer Gabriele Galimberti's grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.
"In that occasion I said to my grandma 'You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks," Galimberti wrote via email. "I'm going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don't have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!' This is the way my project was born!"
The project, "Delicatessen With Love", took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.
From top to bottom:
Inara Runtule, 68, Kekava, Latvia. Silke €(herring with potatoes and cottage cheese).
Grace Estibero, 82, Mumbai, India. Chicken vindaloo.Susann Soresen, 81, Homer, Alaska. Moose steak.
Serette Charles, 63, Saint-Jean du Sud, Haiti. Lambi in creole sauce.
The photographer's grandmother Marisa Batini, 80, Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy. Swiss chard and ricotta Ravioli with meat sauce.
Normita Sambu Arap, 65, Oltepessi (Masaai Mara), Kenya. Mboga and orgali (white corn polenta with vegetables and goat).
Julia Enaigua, 71, La Paz, Bolivia. Queso Humacha (vegetables and fresh cheese soup).
Fifi Makhmer, 62, Cairo, Egypt. Kuoshry (pasta, rice and legumes pie).
Isolina Perez De Vargas, 83, Mendoza, Argentina. Asado criollo (mixed meats barbecue).
Bisrat Melake, 60, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Enjera with curry and vegetables.
This is so excellent.

"Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not find yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smooths there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labor to make all one glow or beauty and never cease chiseling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendor of virtue, until you see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine."- Plotinus (ca. 205–270 CE)

THE DRUNKEN BOTANIST:
The Plants that Create the World's Great Drinks
by Amy Stewart
Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Thirsty yet? In The Drunken Botanist, Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries.
Of all the extraordinary and obscure plants that have been fermented and distilled, a few are dangerous, some are downright bizarre, and one is as ancient as dinosaurs—but each represents a unique cultural contribution to our global drinking traditions and our history.
This fascinating concoction of biology, chemistry, history, etymology, and mixology—with more than fifty drink recipes and growing tips for gardeners—will make you the most popular guest at any cocktail party.

"This is the war we fight every day. The world wants to make you corrupt. The world wants to make you believe that you can find happiness in a job that you don't like as long as you work hard. That you can find happiness in the work and the paycheck and the security. The world wants you to believe you need someone in your life so you don't feel lonely, even if that person is the wrong person. Even if that person doesn't love you or doesn't want you or doesn't even like you. Or doesn't like the things that you want to do or who you are or things that make you who you are. Because we're told it's better to be with someone than no one. Even if that someone is the wrong person. So we spend our lives going from wrong person to wrong person."-
