Goodbye, Sunshine — a book about my retiring parents, revised!

This was mainly compiled for my family, but I’m happy to share the small-town Chinese restaurant experience with anyone who wants a look. (Full preview below the cover image.)

Hei Shou and Maryam sold their small-town Chinese restaurant, bidding farewell to the only lifestyle they’d known for 40 years.

Goodbye, Sunshine, is an ode to their final business — Sunshine Restaurant — a place they called home for almost half that time.

Hitler’s Food Taster: One Bite Away from Death

Each meal could have been her last, but Adolf Hitler’s food taster Margot Wölk lived to tell her story. Forced to test the Nazi leader’s meals for more than two years, the 95-year-old tells SPIEGEL ONLINE that she lived in constant fear.

A horrible food-tasting job, but such a fascinating story.

If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody.

Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.

On Sunday, over 200 chefs congregated in Toronto’s Woodbine Park, dishing out bowls of soup to support the fight against the proposed MegaQuarry. 

I wish all protests were this tasty.
