a new book

i actually ventured to the EAST side today to meet a friend for lunch at bronte (i love their chicken salad). i poked around joseph beth a little bit first, had a bridget jones moment when i almost fell down the big staircase in the middle of the store (texting and walking don't mix!), and finally happened upon he said beer, she said wine. i paused and thought about how the fates were smiling on me.

i have only flipped through so far, but the general idea is marnie old, a wine educator, argues food pairings with sam calagione, founder of dogfish head brewery. pretty awesome and inspiring - i see a pairing party in the near future. my husband might even buy into it.

later, i was perusing june's food and wine, and there it was again, beer vs. wine. i think someone is trying to tell me something...
