Some light reading

What's making me hungry right now:
-The Fortune Cookie Chronicles by Jennifer 8. Lee - Well written, well researched, generally fascinating.
-Travels with Alice by Calvin Trillin - Hilarious. But this being Trillin, are we really surprised?
-Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid - just made their Laghman sauce with noodles, but without the bell peppers and with cumin, chili peppers, and soy. So maybe it wasn't actually laghman sauce anymore, but it was delicious.
-My Bread by Jim Lahey - I want to make every recipe in there. Will update when I do.

What's killing my appetite:
Insatiable by Gael Greene - You had a lot of sex with a lot of famous people and ate a lot of extravagant meals in France for your big-deal job at New York Magazine. I get it. Can we move on now?
