Be Still My Beating Heart!

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, premiere, Monday, July 25, at 10 p.m. ET/PT!

Best-selling author, reluctant food celebrity guy, culinary adventurer, drinker, smoker, hedonist … the list of descriptors could go on and on. But one thing is certain: In this food-obsessed world, Anthony Bourdain has carved out a distinct place as a gastronomic Indiana Jones. His quest for the perfect dining experience was smartly documented in his television series and book, A Cook’s Tour. And now Bourdain’s journey is shifting to the next course.

In Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, his journey takes him to people and places far beyond the realm of food. Following his wanderlust will take the audience to far-out and familiar places, from Iceland to New Zealand and Paris to New Jersey.

La lala lala… I know what I’ll be doing Mondays at 10 for the next however long they run this series!

In other news, I got a lot of gardening done. I gave up with trying to just weed after pruning the roses & cut & hacked stuff back (where I didn’t tear it out, outright) in those two gardens that hadn’t really been taken care of for who knows how long… they look a little sparse now, but a damn sight better than the wildly weedy & over-grown. Was a lovely weekend. Too short though. Always too short.
