  • Agog over eggnog

    (NOTE: I wrote this for CNN.com's former, much missed food blog Eatocracy – originally published in December 2010. I've gone back and updated the links as much as I could. My thanks as ever to the great Kat Kinsman, now executive features editor at Food & Wine, for publishing this and other Eatocracy pieces.) December…

  • Bury the Lede

    One of my favorite public figures working these days is Dessa. I describe her as a "public figure" because she's such an interesting polymath: she's an amazing musician (singer and rapper), a soulful, funny writer and poet, a thoughtful (and thought-provoking) podcast host, an engaging speaker, a riveting performer, even an impressive baker!
