A modest proposal.

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

From this point forward, I propose that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving be known as “Hawaiian Shirt Day”, and that everyone should wear their shirts to the office (or out and about, if you’re lucky enough not to be working).

Happy Spaghetti Carbonara Day: November 21, 2012.

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

Okay, technically, Spaghetti Carbonara Day is tomorrow, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to post tomorrow.

Plus, today’s NYT has an amusing article about the dish, complete with recipes.

Carbonara also inspires strong, almost religious, passions, particularly about what exactly it is. Mr. Trillin’s recipe — pancetta, fontina and prosciutto — would be scoffed at in Rome. But according to one Italian food historian, there are at least 400 versions, from the most classic Roman to variations that are delicious but drive traditionalists mad.

Obit watch: former senator Warren B. Rudman, of Gramm-Rudman fame.
