News You Can Bruise for 2006 December 12

Rachel Chalmers was in town! We celebrated by dining at WD-50, New York's ritziest restaurant/lubricant. There were good flavor combinations and textures, especially the dessert tasting menu (peanut + guava + shortbread, chocolate + lime + licorice + avocado). And foams! Horseradish foam, orange blossom foam; you name it, it was a foam. The portions were small by my standards and practically broke the bank, but it was worth eating there at least once. Made me want to go to the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory afterwards and just get a big ol' cone, but I didn't.

Sumana finally got me to go to this comedy show just as it's ending (last show is next giant Tuesday). It was a lot of fun, though I was hoping for more inventions, because they're like the MST3K invention exchanges and because Mike Birch plays a great inventor; the perfect combination of Joel's paranoid naivete and the Mads' cruelty.
