Okay, okay, I get it...

... you don't want to see any more of my pictures of animals getting carved up. I understand. I'm not hurt at all.

So - for a change of pace I'll do some non-carved-up animal pics. (I swear to god I'll take pictures of something other than animals one of these days....)

So - typical B.A. dog. Well-cared for, lolling in a gorgeous square, seemingly all alone.


After a thoroughly mediocre lunch at a place called Sigi on Plaza Guemes (where the waiter was smarmy and kind of halfway felt me up), I headed over to the zoo where I saw:


The hottest polar bear I've ever seen (what must he do in the summer?);


Begging elephants (the zoo allows the kids to feed most of the animals this kibble stuff. I remember doing the same at the San Antonio zoo as a kid, but now it just seems to make the animals so sadly servile. Though it does make for some nice photos);

A gorgeous, but anxiously pacing tiger;


A very pissed-off looking monkey. Actually lots of pissed-off looking monkeys. And orangutans. And some sad-eyed chimps.

Honestly, these are more depressing that the cows getting cut up.

I just started reading your book yesterday, and I absolutely love it. I'm also from Texas, also moved to NY for a while, lived in Park Slope, and now back in Houston. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. You can find me at www.elvisknits.com.

That monkey looks suspiciously like my nurse in the ER the other night...only nicer. I loved your book, but after I read it I went back and read the original blog from start to finish and it was even awesome -er.

This is why I never go to zoos anymore. I'd rather be eating them than see them locked up like this.

I'm reading your blog, comments here and there because i was curious about it after i saw the movie Julia and Julie for the hundred time! and I saw that you were going to my country Argentina, so I wanted to read a bit what you lived there and what you thought about it, and came across to your comment about "Milanesas" and I don't know if you made a mistake or you were too tired when writing because Milanesas aren't done with chicken...they are done with Meat! and yes, there are chicken milanesas also in my country because through time people started eating them or asking for them, but if you say "Milanesas" in my country, you will never get a chicken one!
Awesome movie and a brilliant idea to cook from Julia's book, thank you for that!

I'm not sure if Julie Powell is going to read this, but let me tell you that I love the way you cooked all the Julia's book. It's amazing. Unbelievable. I just finished the movie Julia & Julie and I love it,as so many people do. I'm from Colombia and I want to learn how to cook. I don't know much about you, and your life and how hard it was about cooking Julia's book, but you love cooking and you did it, so I'm really happy for you. As you or Julie's character, I always let things unfinished, but I need to change that, right? I need to put in practice what I just saw, and, on that way, get your corage of making our own dreams come true.
