jamie_oliver


amy and i have been keeping our eye on the abc show, jamie oliver's food revolution.  pretty interesting to see how he's tackled "healthifying" america's fattest city.  he's done it primarily through the school systems and various media outlets.  i was kind of skeptical about the ending (which came tonight)...it just seemed poised for a super-happy/extreme-home-makeover/make-everyone-feel-good kind of ending.  however, it didn't end that way at all.  instead we were left hanging a bit as to the outcome in the town and with jamie pleading with his audience to start taking steps in their own lives and communities to encourage better eating habits.  and it was the perfect ending in my opinion.

just got back from dinner with our friends (and neighbors) andy and laura. we walked down the street to enjoy some vietnamese food at pho 2000. great food, good conversation, and it was fun to finally explore more of our neighborhood with friends!

brothers

i ate an extraordinary amount of breakfast food at this joint today. i dined with riis, a cool kid i met through manny (see his blog to the left...we know each other from camp). riis is a senior at umass and passionate about college students. we had some good discussions about "diversity" in church, girls, and family. good stuff!
