A few items from radio and newspapers this weekend:
In the past few weeks LA has had a sort of out of town theater space for food: a restaurant in which a new team of chefs takes over every few nights, puts on their show, and gets some feedback in anticipation of maybe opening a new restaurant, in LA or elsewhere. It's called Test Kitchen, here's a radio piece about them.
The NYT Magazine front essay is about a reconfiguration of Maslow's hierarchy of needs that puts parenting and finding a mate at the top, based on what sounds like a very shallow understanding of evolutionary biology.
Among the macro things I have learned about Southern California is its recent history of economic decline following the end of the Cold War and the demobilization of a big chunk of military procurement spending. One area that's on the rebound post-9/11: unmanned airplanes. Spy planes and bombers, made right here in SoCal.
Yesterday's run destination: Centinela
Yesterday's menu:
breakfast: cinnamon honey toast
