Weekend links.

A week of (almost) pure productivity!  Back from Paris on Friday morning, I allowed myself a day of laundry and sleep, before trying (and succeeding) to get back onto a somewhat regular schedule, including running, fasting, and just generally being a productive member of society -- including visiting 3 restaurants.  I also started editing a book (I'm more than 40 pages in!) and reading a good book (it's been a while).  December will be steady, but I'm ready for it. Here are some links to keep you busy this weekend.

• Some gift ideas for the foodie in your life (wink, wink).
• The world needs more Bon Jovi.
• It's all in the title: "I am the Trader Joe's parking lot, and I am here to destroy you."
• Would you eat Twinkies cereal?
• A bit late, but since it's still the 'holidays,' family Thanksgiving traditions.
• Just how sustainable are our food systems?
• Dominique Crenn to ban meat in her restaurants. Someone had to be first.  Curious to see how this choice evolves.
• Just for me -- dining on the train, back in the day.

This weekend sees us at our friend's annual Christmas party, followed (I predict) by one of the more epic hangovers of the year.  Ah, tradition. What are you up to this weekend?
