As this is a food post, I think it's marginally appropriate to use this space to announce that SHAKE SHACK IS COMING TO DC.
And there was much rejoicing.
I promise I'm going to read your book regardless? But I'll read it sooner if you tell me where you got that lovely fucking dress!
I KNOW!
I want to wear that dress every day.
First fake hot dogs, now spicy tuna.
Is there something you'd like to tell us about your recent dating life, Em?
Remember this formula folks: Sriracha + Mayonnaise = Awesome Sauce
Not only does the combination kick up bland tuna salads, but it can also be slathered onto burgers, used to dress salads, or even placed on the side as a dipping sauce for frites and other deep fried delicacies.
I have Sriracha and I have Mayonnaise but never have I thought to mix the two!
Sriracha + Almost Anything = Awesome Sauce
Sriracha sauce=Hot Cock, in the parlance of the day.
I lime this segment. I always watch it even if I have zero interest in the book. It's just.. relaxing somehow.

I lick this segment also. It's mouth watering.
That's not what wabi sabi means.
The dress is from Matrushka, a great store in Silverlake in LA. Highly recommended. Pretty inexpensive dresses that are more comfortable than pajamas and travel beautifully. Plus they sew you up a little bag to take your purchase home in.
OMG that is a great store.
