Bruni digest update

A pearl from the best food blog that is not a blog, and thus has no feed, and thus is easy to overlook:

Apparently I’ve missed my 15 seconds. An AP reporter interviews me on the brunidigest phenomenon and somehow passes up my brilliance to produce a straightforward report on the mega-brilliance behind the savage spoof Panchito says he barely knows. (Sorta like his relationship with food, no?) All my attempted Parkerisms get left on the editing room floor: “If he read it, it would make him write even worse -- he would turn into a parody of a parody, and then you’re spinning into infinity.” Or: “You read it and you feel the same way you do when you get a Chimp joke in your email -- you laugh, and then you want to weep, because we’re still stuck with the guy.” But I was thrilled to be wordless when I saw the quotes from Ruth and Biff. If his predecessors are reading, you know they’re laughing, too.

If you need a breather from this week's festivities, toddle over to Gastropoda.com. The turkeys, feathered and otherwise, summon the bile.

Random news: Mr. Slow Food, Patrick Martins, was on Fox News this morning hyping his Hertiage Foods' turkeys. Strange outlet for Martins, but if he convinced Fox News' normal morning viewers (not me, I swear) to take food seriously, it might be a good thing. Or not.

not a food blog because she knows what the hell she's talking about.

Well, I'm not sure about the "Parkerisms"...

I can take hipster wit in small doses only.
