Revenge is a dish best served cold. Then again, if you’re a member of the Harvard Canadian Club or the Alaska Klub, most dishes are. And revenge was certainly what the Canadian Club was looking for in their epic confrontation last Friday with the Alaska Klub in a little-known (and perhaps made-up-on-the-spot) northern pastime called “Big Ball.” The two teams convened at the Weeks Footbridge, the Canadians sporting red and white garb and removable tattoos of their homeland’s flag, and the Alaskans...

The voluptuous voluptuary is the godmother of TV's food babes (Giada De Laurentiis, Top Chef's Lakshmi), but the real appeal of Feasts--and of Lawson's British series, which it mimics--is her unfussy, wry, practical approach to entertaining and quality comfort food. You can believe, or not, that guacamole and chili are the first things this wealthy, cosmopolitan hostess thinks of when she throws a dinner party. Either way, between...
