I’m speaking with Fabio Parasecoli about his new book, Gastronativism: Food, Identity, Politics, at the Museum of the City of New York at a session chaired by Krishnendu Ray at 6:30 pm. Information is here and the ticketing link is here. This is a preview of the museum’s forthcoming exhibit, Food in New York: Bigger Than the Plate (opening September 16) and is co-presented by MOFAD (Museum of Food and Drink).

The edible White House: and what a swell (political) party!
I was lucky enough to be invited to a holiday reception at the White House last week to see the decorations up close and the President and First Lady from a distance.
Never mind the Christmas trees in every room. The gingerbread house!*
It comes with its very own garden, hoop houses, beehive, and kale:
The candy vegetables were not to be eaten.
But the cookies most definitely were.
Here’s to a happy, healthy, and well nourished holiday season!
