Cheers everybody,
Jonathan is still on vacation, which you can tell by reading his emailed-in travelogue posts detailing his road trip eating in Italy. When in Modena, you eat — and you write languorous prose about it, at least if you're Jonathan.
Back in L.A., the rest of us are also eating, of course. Jenn Harris has been sampling Manhattan Beach and I've been eating a lot of pie. And thinking about pie, as have Evan Kleiman (who thinks about pie fairly permanently), and pastry chef Roxana Jullapat. What about pie? How to make it, how to use whole grains in the crust, how to fill said crust with strawberries and how to make a Key lime pie.
