In a piece about risotto in the @newyorker.com there was reference to an 1809 recipe being early, so I wrote in with two 1549 recipes and… my letter got published?! (I’ve never written a letter to the editor before in my life!)

This would go over HUGE in my family. Every year we have a contest to see who can peel them with the longest continuous peel. It would be taken as a sign of profound understanding of our culture (of competitiveness).

What a glorious printed version of Hrabanus Maurus's 9th century manuscript De Laudibus Sanctae Crucis. Takes me right back to the early medieval art courses I took in my undergrad.

Obsessed with this totally strange doubling that takes place in the corner of the arcade of the courtyard of Palazzo Venezia ca. 1460. You really get a sense of how the architect and sculptor were one in the same.

It seems only appropriate that my first post should be of the blue sky on my walk into work this morning. The moon in dialogue with St. Paul stop the column of Marcus Aurelius.
