FROM THE EDITOR
offee, walk the dog, yoga, office, email, edit, write, lunch, coffee, email, write, run, walk the dog, make dinner, wash clothes, clean dinner mess, check emails, wash face, watch The Daily Show, bed – repeat.
My days entail all of that day after day, except the order changes sometimes, plus you have to sprinkle in Facebook, events, grocery store, dry cleaners, etc. I could go on and on.
The point you ask? Food+Drink is always present, and cooking is my therapy/break in the day. It’s a task that I start and complete with mostly good results (except for those awful parmesan popovers with tofu I tried to make a few weeks ago).
I’m addicted to trying new recipes or using them as a guide and tweaking as I go.
I look forward to making it home (after all of the above has been said and done) and pouring myself a glass of wine, popping in my iPod in the kitchen docking station and listening to music as I get lost cooking a meal. Sometimes it’s just for two, other night it’s for 10, sometimes it’s 2 different meals on the same nights since my husband eats meat and I don’t. But the result is usually the same: I end up more relaxed and astonished at my capabilities.
In this issue you’ll find cookbooks that captivate, interviews with restaurateurs saving local architecture, a nonprofit creating a personal cookbook that gives back in more ways than one, new spirits and a spread fit for kings.
Lance Scott Walker sits down for a tête à tête with Anthony Bourdain on page 68, who by the way, will be in Houston at Jones Hall on the 20th.
Speaking of tête à tête’s, we started blogging about 002 life. That includes regular days, the events we go to and more. Just go to www.002mag.com, under the Goodies tab.
There’s also a special Food & Drink section where local restaurants and stores tell you why they’re great.
Before I go, join us at Fleming’s at CityCentre September 1 for Happy Hour!
