In Search Of Chicago's Best Pizza

I was recently staying on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago for a software conference.  Software geeks being what they are, this meant I ate a lot of pizza -- and that I now have a pretty good handle on what's the best deep-dish pizza in downtown Chicago.  Read through for my verdict.

Amador Wine Country Weekend

For my and Lisa's birthdays (they're about a week apart) we took off Memorial Day for a weekend in the California Gold Country.  This weekend was the Rocks & Rhones event at some of the wineries there, plus we thought we'd get some hiking and other fun in.

First thing: Snow?  In May?  In California?  This Global Climate Thrash thing is getting out of hand.

We did get to go wine tasting though, even though the hiking didn't happen.  Click through for a review of some of the wineries you probably haven't heard of before ...

Shopping in the Campo di Fiori

Since we just saw the produce of Israel, it's time for some produce of Rome!  The markets of Rome have been well-known, and popular since ancient times.  Above is a fresco from the Vatican Collection, either depicting plenty or marking the location of a public market.

Some Foodie Desktops

Sorry I haven't posted for a bit ... I've been conventioneering.  Since I don't have time to write, I've uploaded some more pictures.

Since people have been so complimentary about my picture taking, here are some foodie desktop backgrounds.  I've uploaded them in large format so that you can use them for your computer. Amusingly, I use only a pocket camera: an Olympus FE190, a tiny point-and-shoot camera.

I'll have some more interesting posts about Jerusalem, Rome and Pisa next week.

The Six Kosher Food Groups of Jerusalem

With thousands of observant Jews in Jerusalem, as well as even more halal Muslims, one of the most important assets a restaurant can have is a kashrut certificate.  So important, in fact, that there's a substantial trade in ersatz certificates.  Since we were visiting my brother, the rabbi, we looked for these a lot.  Fortunately, unlike US clties, you can get a lot of really good food in Jerusalem eating kosher, and it doesn't even have to be expensive.

The major kosher food groups of Jerusalem are baked goods, bagels, yogurt, felafel, pizza, and (as of the 21st century) sushi.  Having already covered the first, here's some notes (and pictures) about some of the others.
