I'm looking for DMT10 recipes, and only found a couple. Where they hiding? In particular, I need the carbonara if it's available. I'm going to steal it for a meal on Friday. If it's not available, it should be easy to find something on the interwebs.
I guess pancetta should be my choice of protein. Guanciale may be a bit hard to procure.
Last week I located the new Red-tailed Hawk nest at One FIth Avenue. Now the photographers are on it.
Venison sous vide for the second time in a week. This time at Masa's. This could be habit forming.
Following a surprise $7 million donation left to Lake Forest College by 1931 alumnus and "secret millionaire" Grace Groner, many are wondering about the generous woman who lived so modestly in one of the richest Chicago suburbs.
Groner worked as a secretary at Abbott Laboratories for 43 years--where she made a $180 stock purchase in 1935, the Chicago Tribune reports. She reinvested the dividends over the years, and at the time of her death--at the age of 100--it was worth $7 million.
Groner's lawyer was one of the few people who knew about her fortune, the Tribune reports:
She lived in an apartment for many years before a friend willed her a tiny house in a part of town once reserved for the servants. Its single bedroom could barely accommodate a twin bed and dresser; its living room was undoubtedly smaller than many Lake Forest closets.
Someone at Reddit started a "funniest picture on the interwebs" contest. I kinda like this one. I suppose it works better if you're a geek who's familiar with the O'Reilly technical book series.

Once again, you're welcome Vice President Cheney.
"I just felt like I didn't come all the way to Vancouver not to pull out the big guns," White said. "I put down the tricks I've worked so hard on. It was the savvy thing to do. Saucy. Keep it weird. My coach said at the top: Don't do this unless you're going to stomp it."wapo
Diamond is now trying to get permission and funds knock down a wall at the west end of the tunnel. He thinks there may be a perfectly preserved locomotive from the 1800s behind the wall -- or even the missing pages of Booth's diary that list the conspirators involved in Lincoln's death. Next tour, Feb 28th. Think I'll take Ryley.
