Anyone know any decent Mexican or otherwise South American cookbooks? I was going to just email this question to Luke as he has a rather extensive collection of amazing cookbooks, but I figured I’d put this out there in case anyone else does. In particular, I’m interested in an all-the-basics sort of Joy Of Cooking style cookbook that’ll lay the foundation for good Mexican food before I venture into anything crazy.

Also, if you have any especially good Mexican recipes, by all means, let us know. Unless it’s a casserole.

Pat the Bat is apparently joining the Rays pending a physical. “Linky here”http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3811501

Good luck to him and here’s hoping we play the Rays again in the WS this year. Fuck the Yankees.

So, the holidays are finally over.

Well, not taxes as much as annual income. ESPN has this salary calculator which takes your annual income and compares it to the annual salaries of the highest paid baseball players, and lets you know how long you would have to work to make what these guys make in a year.

I can’t sleep so I figured I’d talk about the aforementioned book I’ve been reading, The Man Who Ate Everything. You might recognize Steingarten from his many appearances being a hilarious asshole judging on Iron Chef: America, and so it probably wouldn’t surprise you that this book is about food.

Saw it last night, probably one of the best movies I’ve seen in the past few years. Great soundtrack, beautifully shot, just….awesome.

Here’s the trailer:

Since mixtapeattack won’t be reviewing it any time soon…

Did anyone else see this?
