Mags, George, Pinkard

I've read several magazines since my last post: an issue of The New Yorker, an issue of The New Scientist, an issue of Majesty, an issue of Chatelaine, and two issues of The Economist. I also read Rose George's Big Necessity, about sanitation in various parts of the world -- it was really interesting although I've become hyper-aware of my toilet habits. And I read Susan Pinkard's culinary history about the rise of Parisian cooking in the XVIIIth century, A Matter of Taste. I thought it was a very good, very solid read, especially compared to so many lightweight titles of recent vintage I was reading.
