calvin trillin's feeding a yen
trillin is one of my favorite food writers--well, one of my favorite writers in general. he has such a light and easy, funny tone that it's hard not to love his work. this is a collection of his food-related essays, several of which have appeared in the new yorker and other magazines (i particularly remember the ones where he visits his new granddaughter in san francisco, and where he tries to get a hold of louisianan boudin). these essays made me hungry and also made me want to travel around the world, sampling local cuisine, so i can be a chowhound like trillin. yum.
rash update: still itchy.

Have you ever read the Monsieur Pamplemousse books by Michael Bond, creator of Paddington Bear? He's a food critic/detective, with a Watson-y dog named Pomme Frites.
