Missing NOLA.
One piece of every single kind of shellfish and crustacean known to man cooked à la plancha by Ferran Adriá, Eric Ripert, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Alain Ducasse, Daniel Boulud, Enrico Cerea, Massimo Bottura, Mark Ladner, José Andrés and Carme Ruscalleda, each making one in alphabetical order and then back to the start, to be paired with a glass of every single great white wine made in the Le Montrachet appellation of Bourgogne, France, in the last 30 years. And if we have to wait till we find each of the shellfish? Well, then we will have to wait.

THE fact is that most people can afford real food. Even the nearly 50 million Americans who are enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as food stamps) receive about $5 per person per day, which is far from ideal but enough to survive. So we have to assume that money alone doesn’t guide decisions about what to eat.
The greatest things you make and do are the ones that get your full attention. It’s helpful to take an inventory of what you’re doing and then ask yourself where you’re spending your best attention. You can fill your time, but you have to spend your attention. How you spend it is probably a better measure of priority than anything else.
