do you ever find yourself talking like jon favreau?

Sometimes I notice that after I’ve seen a movie with Jon Favreau (love him), I take on his very familiar lilt. Last Friday, his new movie, Chef, opened in Chicago. And while I don’t usually get to something on opening day, for this, I went right away. It was so good. It spoke to the theme of love in its many iterations: love between a parent and a child, love between former lovers, friend love, and of course, tremendous food love. Check it out.

youth (not) wasted on the young: an interview worth reading.

Maybe it’s because we’re raising two daughters. Or it’s because I am often struck by how sophisticated some of the young women I read about (and encounter in my daily life) are today. But I am drawn to knowing more about these individuals and what makes them tick. In a way, it’s sort of the reverse theory of learning from our elders about life, love, and just about everything else.
