Slowed myself down.By then, almost a week in, I could sort through the assault of layers a little more quickly. The chocolate chips were from a factory, so they had that same slight metallic, absent taste to them, and the butter had been pulled from cows in pens, so the richness was not as full. The eggs were tinged with a hint of far away and plastic. All of those parts hummed in the distance, and then the baker, who'd mixed the batter and formed the dough, was angry. A tight anger, in the cookie itself.","author":"Aimee Bender","tags":["anger","chocolate-chip-cookie","factory-farming","food-sensor","ingredients","layers"],"id":32990,"author_id":"Aimee+Bender"},{"text":"More often than not, expecting to lose weight without first losing the diet that made the weight loss necessary is like expecting a pig to be spotless after hosing it down while it was still rolling in mud.","author":"Mokokoma Mokhonoana","tags":["adage","adages","africa","african","anorexia","anorexic","aphorism","aphorisms","appetite","axiom","axioms","bmi","body-fat","body-mass-index","cheat-day","cheat-days","clean","deep","dictum","dictums","diet","dietician","dieticians","dietitian","dietitians","epigram","epigrams","exercise","exercises","fat","fatty","food","funny","gnome","gnomes","gym","gymnasium","health","healthy","hose","humor","humorous","humour","ingredient","ingredients","insightful","lean","lose-weight","made-me-think","make-you-think","maxim","maxims","mud","muscles","muscular","necessary","necessity","obese","obesity","overeat","overeater","overeating","overweight","philosopher","pig","pigs","profound","proverb","proverbs","provoke-thought","quotation","quotations","quote","of-the-day","quotes","recipe","recipes","roll","rolling","salad","salads","satire","satirical","saying","sayings","shred","shredded","skinny","south-africa","south-african","spotless","sugar","sugary","thought-provoking","thoughtful","underweight","watch-what-you-eat","weight","weight-loss","weight-to-height","weightlifter","weightlifting","workout"],"id":45938,"author_id":"Mokokoma+Mokhonoana"},{"text":"Cooking is not a science but an art, mistakes are okay, messes are fine—the pleasure is in the creating and the sharing of the result.","author":"Lori Pollan","tags":["art","cooking","cooks","food","foodie","healthyeating","homecookng","ingredients","lori-pollan","pollanfamilytable","recipes"],"id":60334,"author_id":"Lori+Pollan"},{"text":"SWEET POTATO BISQUE WITH CRABMEATGRAPEFRUIT ICE IN A SWEET TORTILLA CRISPLAMB SEARED IN ANCHO CHILI PASTE ON POLENTA TWO CHUTNEYS: PEAR \u0026 MINTASPARAGUS FLANAMERICAN GOAT CHEESE, EAST \u0026 WEST, WITH RED-WINE BISCUITSAVOCADO KEY LIME PIEPINON TORTA DE CIELO \u0026 CHOCOLATE MOCHA SHERBETShe'd invented the cake just for tonight; the sherbet came from Julia Child, a remarkably simple confection made with sour cream. Torta de cielo was a traditional wedding cake from the Yucatan, slim and sublime, light but chewy, where pulverized almonds stood in for flour. This time, instead of almonds, Greenie used the fat, velvety pignoli she ordered from an importer on Grand Street, mincing them by hand to keep them from turning to paste. She did not know whether you could tell the best Italian pine nuts from those grown in New Mexico, but, she caught herself thinking, and not without a touch of spite, she might soon find out.","author":"Julia Glass","tags":["cake","food","greenie-duquette","ingredients","menu"],"id":128844,"author_id":"Julia+Glass"},{"text":"Half of what I write is imaginative reality.

You could have all the right ingredients, in all the right amounts, and still there were no guarantees. Or perhaps they were like recipes, he pondered now, and the key to success was in finding the ingredients you had to remove, the components that turned all the others bitter, excessively salty, difficult to swallow; even too jarringly sweet.
