I love beans. This is a real email where Steve hooked me up with the bean plug.
 Email from Steve that reads:


would like to introduce you to a very good cook and Devin Dixon ce'd here. After hearing me get poetic about your incredible dry-farmed white beans he wants to try some. I have googled around a bit but failed to find an online supply, so I figured I'd connect the two of you and let you work it out.
Hope you, Valis and the farm are all cooking along, see you next time we head out West.

I've been looking at the same can of tomatoes for the entire time I've worked in restaurants and I think it is time we recognized this absolutely perfect label design.
Can of Alta Cucina whole peeled tomatoes with label of an overhead shot of basil-garnished tomatoes on fancy flatware on a white tablecloth served to a fancy person in a dinner jacket as if to say "yo dog these tomatoes are so good this rich bitch is bout to rawdog them directly off this plate don't even bother cooking them shits."

I don't know which one of you underlined a half-dozen essays in this book I found at Myopic today, but THANKS. You probably saved me $20.

I know that Chicago is going blue, but there is a blocks-long line of mostly Latin folks outside of this West Town poling place. Can’t be a bad sign.
