Heat by Bill Buford
I find myself intermittently inspired to finish reading more than an article or poem or two every so often, and through the year I’ve found myself inspired perhaps a bit too often to pick up a book that looks interesting (I started reading 7 at the same time this year…), due in part to a friend of mine that is very well-read.
The unfortunate nature of my otherwise self-appreciated creative side is that while reading, my mind wants to do about 1,000 other things at once (including write its own version(s) of what I’m in the midst of). Too often a writer’s rhythmic stylings will resonate in my head like the cadence of a crass F sharp during a jazz jam session. I thoroughly enjoy when the writer of something I’m reading happens to have a rhythm that reverberates well in my head. Unfortunately most of the time it goes back and forth between the two, paragraph by paragraph.
I began reading Heat by Bill Buford this year, at the same time as a couple of other books: Salt, Kitchen Confidential, and The Jungle. If you’re familiar with any two of these three books you may have guessed that they all have one thing in common - food.
Heat turned out to be a very interesting book with an often confusing intertwinement of past and present tenses which I have to admit I’m not sure is always correct, but could quite possibly be the perfect use of tenses illustrating Bill Buford’s firm grasp on the English language. It also happen to be written in an easy going rhythm for the most part.
Through and through I found the book interesting, and though some things were explained in much detail, there were often points which I longed for more explanation. Buford wrote about his discovery of Italian food through his experiences at one of Mario Batali’s restaurants in New York City; his time at a restaurant in Italy; and his apprenticeship at one of the proposed best butcher shops in the world found in Italy (among a few other stops along the way). Chapter by chapter I found myself hungry for more food knowledge. Heat has rekindled my desire to take a few years and really immerse myself in food by exploring the world.
Thanks for the book FakeAngeleno.com.
Company Private Party - Los Angeles Restaurant
We recently had an amazing company holiday private party at an amazing Los Angeles restaurant called La Cachette Bistro. Everything was phenomenal, not to the least of which is the amazing atmosphere and service. We booked through VenueGlue.com, which provided the venue to us for 100% free (which is really great because it meant we were able to buy a ton of food and drinks with the money we saved).
Red Lobster Menu
For a true red lobster menu with information about all of the different locations and different items on the menu itself. Lobster restaurant menus are interesting in general but the lobster menu at Red Lobster is amazing. Why? Because you can find shrimp and lobster and scallops and other seafood that you may enjoy.
Taco Bell Tacos…At Home
Tonight I had organic “Taco Bell” style tacos at home. They were delicious, and I don’t feel fat or super tired. Everything was organic, from the tomatoes, to the cumin, and the beef. Great stuff.
Here’s a picture.

I found a great Cheesecake Factory Menu online. It has all of the entrees, and anything you can ever want out of the Cheesecake Factory Menu.
Bing.com + Italian Soups
I tried searching on bing.com and couldn’t find a good site for Italian soups. I’m looking for something great. Maybe some tomato and some beans and some sausage. Anybody know of any good sites?
Quick and Semi-Healthy
In the city of Los Angeles, it’s rare to find someone with enough time to make delicious and healthy meals after work. It doesn’t have to be as hard as some think though. It starts with a little trip to Trader Joe’s, and it ends with a delicious turkey burger.
All you need are some wheat buns, some ground turkey patties, some turkey bacon, and some rich brie. Pick any kind of brie you enjoy. What kind of a side do you want? That’s a toughy. Trader Joe’s has great frozen mixed vegetables, and beans with no lard that could both make great side dishes to this healthy burger.
Start with a few drops of oil in the bottom of a pan. Heat it and add the turkey bacon. Allow the turkey bacon to crisp before removing it. Don’t clean the pan. Sprinkle some garlic salt on a turkey patty and place it in the hot pan. It’ll soak up some of the flavors of the turkey bacon. Take a few slices of your brie and add place the fully cooked turkey burger on top to melt the cheese. Put the bacon on top of that, and you have a delicious, healthy dinner.
Here’s a little tip. You should only flip the patty once. Cook the patty until it browns on one side, and don’t move it until then. Flip it over and let it brown on the other side until it’s cooked all the way through (do a quick search on your favorite search engine for the FDA recommendations on internal temperature for turkey meat).
