It's kind of amazing (at least to me) and - depending on how you look at it - perhaps kind of depressing that I've been actually been doing this since 2005, but I still like writing it and I hope at least a few people enjoy reading it. So I, of course, did a Top 10 for that year at the time, but have decided not to look at it before doing this so that doesn't influence what I'm thinking now. And before...

by Katharine Wroth In this corner, we have PETA, a shameless animal-rights organization that uses boobies to make its point at least—what, once or twice a minute? To wit: this latest, uh, holiday-themed ad featuring Polish Playboy model Joanna Krupa . In the other corner, we have FOX News and angry Christians : For a higher purpose?PETA.org “It’s totally inappropriate,” said...

The great pre-funeral cook off continues. I simply can't stop and it's nice to have a positive focus at a sad time, I think. I have been making Blood Orange Sorbet , Candied Blood Orange Peel, Fish Curry (I told you that already , didn't I?!) and other stuff too. Cam made this last night. Delish. And I made some Romesco Sauce . Not sure why, something to do with some stray peppers that were slapped...

I really liked this thought by Jonathan Safran Foer on his goal as a parent. He wrote it in the context of his journey as a vegetarian, but it has wider applications and resonates as a noble aim: I’m not as worried about what [my children] will choose as much as my ability to make them [...]

by Tom Philpott Martha Stewart is easy to caricature. But the sister values good ingredients—and has realized that industrial agriculture churns out flavorless crap. That has caused her to ask second-order questions about the food system—and use her immense popular appeal to shed light on the horrors of factory meat farming.
