...altar of the quick buck. About that, even the most stalwart horse-racing fans can agree. Andrew Beyer, dean of America's racing writers, explained the death of the Kentucky Derby runner-up by noting that thoroughbreds are, in fact, overbred. They are no longer created with robust careers in mind; their life goal is a couple of quick wins in Triple Crown races, followed by retirement to a stud farm. "Modern commercial breeders produce horses in order to sell them, and if those horses are unsound, they become somebody else's problem," Beyer wrote for the Washington Post. "Because...
...like mythical creatures. Laid out on the table are their best cups and saucers - it is time for Kaffemik. Translated from the Danish as "Please come to our house for coffee," this phrase is used to welcome neighbors, friends, relatives and - increasingly - tourists into local homes.

Patience’s’ expressive solo “Love is a Plaintiff Song,” perfectly paired with the articulate woodwinds, was exquisite. But perhaps the oppressive feeling...
...different special every day that’s spectacular. And the homemade fusilli is fantastic.” But be warned: according to Altin, the fusilli goes fast–by eight o’clock, the kitchen runs out. The pasta is served al dente; its taste is robust, dressed with the perfect amount of cream sauce and a sprinkle of fresh basil. I spend an extra dollar-fifty for the homemade fusilli with no regrets. Luckily, the portions are so large that unless you are particularly ravenous (or a football player), you’ll be sure...
