Daily candy - not sure it is on my diet??


I just found out that www.dailycandy.com has a London edition. The concept of the site is v. keen. My gripe with sites like that is that the threshold for getting mentioned is arbitrary and not consistent with its bestowment of fabulousness. In otherwords, you can't trust it. Judgment is out on whether it will be a method to explore London to tap into. Or just another "try at your peril" email. For example, on the Dallas one, they spotlighted a made-in-Dallas ground floor winery that kind of acts like Vom Fass (the place where you can buy a bottle and fill it up with various oils, liquors and vinegars). But this is wine. Which is from grapes, farmed by people, using varieties and methods that have been honed over thousands of years. Yes, I just got back from the Rhone Valley, but the lack of respect I infer from that Dallas-based concept, and its ridiculousness, knows no bounds. thump, thump, she steps of box of soap.
