...Using spa cuisine as a foundation, and with the help of a nutritionist and a Chinese herbalist, Gamon has been blending hashima (the glands of snow frogs) with white chocolate, combining curried chicken drumsticks with reishi mushrooms and kelp, dressing butter-braised abalone with ginseng, and adding bird's nest to ice cream. These are not the normal pairings of tonic cuisine, but they are based on the same principles and Eu Yan Sang's conservative herbalists have gradually given their approval. "Now they ask me, 'Does it taste good?'" says Gamon with a laugh...
...wearing a tie and working at his day job in the financial sector, Roberto Ruiz spends his time the way a growing number of Nicaraguan men do: training roosters for razorblade battles to the death. It's like training a boxer, he says.

...opera in a memorable portrayal of Cherubino, the Count’s page.Not only do the players act and sing well individually, but they also interact nicely to bring out the humor in the script. In one fast-paced exchange of wits, Kapusta, Onstad, Gerlach, Nip, and Matthew B. Bird ’10 (who plays the gardener Antonio) skillfully express the difficulty of deceiving each other on the spot, eliciting laughter from the audience. Instead of setting the opera in the 18th century, director Vincent chose to set this production of “Figaro?...
