Eight food books for summer reading

Travel – Forget Danielle Steele and if you're still on Harry Potter, well, we can't help you. For a refreshing change for your summer reading, how about some food-related books, some that are new, some that are not so new, and some that aren't really "light summer reading," but are great books anyway: Gael Green's Insatable, Tony Bourdain's The Nasty

WTF is a CrispyCone? El Chavo will tell you

Travel – It's like a sandwich. Or a pizza. But it's shaped in a cone. For a while there, it seemed like there was much hype about it, but apparently, they are not crispy, and do not taste good. Oh well.

Juice is just as bad as soda

Travel – If you've cut soda out of your diet, good for you! But don't think that replacing all that soda with juice is any better. Perceptions that juice is good for you and that it's natural are not only incorrect, they're also contributing to today's childhood obesity epidemic.

Sangria shouldn't have to follow a recipe

Travel – Simply figure a half bottle of good red wine per person, add any type of fruit juice, whatever fruits are in season (and hopefully they're ripe enough that you don't need to add any sugar or syrup), and add a splash of sherry. In the end, it should be based on your taste.
