Drink Eat Love

The Food Fight Ain't Over Yet

(A quickie)

Hopefully, y'all know something of the controversy over the Farm Bill, which has been in a reauthorization battle all summer on Capitol Hill. There are tons of resources available, but one of the most approachable is Food Battle. Check it out & help our country eat healthier and grow food more sustainably.

Jeff's Wedding - Recap

Those of you who care about this were there already, so I'll just post a couple of pictures from Jeff & Shauna's wedding, with only minimal commentary. It was a beautiful ceremony and a killer dinner.

The Chinese Laundry

After all I'd heard about Jai Yun, dubbed the Chinese equivalent to the French Laundry, I expected to enter off a dark Chinatown alley and be escorted to a dingy basement decorated only by Christmas lights and a few out-of-date calendars. The decor was not far removed from my imagination (there was, indeed, an abundance of stringed lights), but the locale was above ground, on a main (if residential) street, with a facade like any ordinary low-rent Chinese pick-up joint. But Jai Yun is far from ordinary.

What's Up

I've just gotten around to downloading pictures from our camera onto my computer. 361 photos over 72 days of summer, spanning from an early June barbecue at Crissy Field to this afternoon's farewell get-together for friend and fellow wine blogger, Paul Cortwright, and tromping through a visit from A's mom & sis (including their Yosemite excursion), various summer pies, a hike & dinner with Kevin, Maris & the twins, my company's summer party, and up to Jeff's wedding yesterday.

If that seems an excessively tedious list of events for the anonymous reader, understand that it is a preamble to another event in our lives: an imminent move to Spain.

Dog Days

The dog days of summer have hit Drink Eat Love hard! Between Jeff getting married (five days and counting!), and Amberly & me kicking our move into high gear, there's been nary an entry in the last two weeks!

No fear. I am working out a redacted version of our Vegas dinners, there'll be an account of Jeff's wedding (with a food and wine angle, of course!), and then multiple reports of Vancouver trips toward the end of the month. Hang tight, loyal DELove reader — your patience will be rewarded.
