...slow-poached egg-- say, at 143°F for 90 minutes-- is that rare, perfect synthesis of greenmarket and high tech. When cracked open, the thing spills out ludicrously egg-shaped and ridiculously soft, the yolk suspended between raw and cooked, the cloudy white freed from that slight rubberiness I never knew bothered me until I had an egg without it. David Chang, who drops one in his ramen at New York City's Momofuku, says one of his regulars calls it "a sexy egg." There are apparently a lot of ways to hit on a chef...
...April 2006, we ran a three-page photo essay by Yuri Kozyrev documenting the state of refugees in Kashmir after the catastrophic earthquake that took the lives of 75,000 people and displaced 3 million more. One of Yuri's pictures was of a slight girl in a hooded orange parka who had lost her leg in the quake.

We are now in the Mom Zone, times 10. My gestures pass muster, except that I am told I am playing with my bracelet. "I get paid to pick. It's a great...
...very slight chance, though any optimism is based more on his remarkable competitive qualities than a clear-eyed assessment of his form. Now ranked 20, Hewitt is having far more trouble than he used to winning those tight matches against solid but unexceptional players, and as such could easily exit in any early round. For various reasons, he hasn't been playing enough tournaments and his untimely Jan. 5 split with coach Roger Rasheed - sudden and rancorous, despite Rasheed's gracious public statement - would derail anyone, besides, perhaps, the cantankerous and determined Hewitt. He still talks a good game...
