...what of Del Posto's food? (Oh, yes, that.) I never thought I would say this, but I can't get enough of the duck testicles (an ingredient in the Pici with Cibreo and Black Truffles, a pasta dish). I'm not a professional restaurant critic-just a good eater-but I was surprised that at the same time Batali and the Bastianichs were being sued, they were earning some less-than-enthusiastic reviews. Critics from Time Out New York and New York magazine visited in the opening weeks-a rough time for any kitchen (where do we keep...
...It’s a funny one. Erroneous interpretations of reality, the phrase suggests, proclivities for the idealized or the fictitious, can threaten our safety, happiness, or otherwise get the best of us.

They were delicious. My parents say I'm an adventurous eater, but I think that the stuff I eat is pretty ordinary. I eat calamari, tuna, pineapple pizza, and tomatoes. Lots of my friends would shy away from these, but I enjoy them. Some things that set me apart from the crowd are that I don't like a lot of rap, I listen to a load of oldies...
...PlayStations. Rowling adapts an inherently conservative genre for her own progressive purposes. Her Hogwarts is secular and sexual and multicultural and multiracial and even sort of multimedia, with all those talking ghosts. If Lewis showed up there, let's face it, he'd probably wind up a Death Eater...
