I attended a wine and cheese tasting at Agata & Valentina at First Avenue
and 79th Street. It's by http://epicurean.sturman.com. The fabulous
wine-tasting woman, Sheri Sauter, MW, CWE (featured in FORTUNE magazine last week),
refused to marry me.
I got home, got access to Proquest Historical Newspapers through SABR,
watched THE DAILY SHOW at the same time, nodded off, and woke up to find that I
had access to all of ProQuest!

OREO COOKIE ICE CREAM
Emack and Bolio's ice cream has opened up at East 81st Street and First
Avenue (near Agata & Valentina). I don't know if the revised OED is entering
"OREO," but see the ADS-L archives for that name. Emack and Bolio's takes
credit for inventing Oreo cookie ice cream.

"The Original" Oreo Cookie-Invented by us in 1975. The most popular flavor
of
the 80s with chunks of Oreo cookie in a vanilla/Oreao base.

"BUT I KNOW WHAT I LIKE"
Sheri Sauter ("that wine woman") told us that wine tasting is like art--"I
don't know much about art, but I know what I like."
I revisited the phrase and found a bit earlier than I'd posted.

Second page: WHEN a person prefaces his opinion of a picture or of a piece
of music, with this formula,--"I don't profess to know anything about art (or
music), but I know what I like,"--then look out for dogmatism of the most
flagrant sort. If "what I like" is different from what you like, your liking is
ser down forthwith as either affectation, or the result of some kind of personal
and temporary influence.

First page: In literature, in painting, and elsewhere, the generally
accepted dictum is, "I don't know anything about the rules of art, but I know what I
like," with which is coupled a firm determination not to like anything that
one doesn;t want to of one;s own mere motion, and, indeed, not to submit to any
interference that in any respect smacks of thought or knowledge of the matter
in hand.

Sheri Sauter (the wine woman who's marrying some lucky guy from North

the wine world and on the internet, but the OED (always miserable on food and

Not long ago officials of the Department of Agriculture were much amused
by a letter sent the department by an occasional correspondent in Virginia.
Among other things, the writer hastened to advise Secretary Wilson to this
effect:
"My wife had a Tame cat that dyd. Being a Tortureshell and a Grate
faverit, we had the same berred in the Gardin, and for the enrichment of the soil I
had the Carkis deposited under the roots of a Gooseberry Bush. (The Frute
being up to then of the smooth variety.) But the next Seson's Frutem after the
Cat was berred, the Gooseberry was all Hairy--and more Remarkable, the
Catapilers of the Same Bush was All of said Hairy description."

Abstract (Article Summary)
It's just the politics. Chicago's "Windy City" nickname was coined in New
York City, and it has no weather connection. In 1893, New York Sun editor Charles
Dana, having grown weary of hearing Chicago politicians boast of the huge
success of Chicago's 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, editorially dubbed
Chicago "that Windy City."

WEATHER REPORT.
Dear Tom,
Since moving to Naperville in December, I have noticed many windy days. My
husband says it is not any more windy here than in any other region. I disagree.
He says the phrase "the Windy City" is the only reason I think this. He
believes it's because of the politicians, and I say it's because of the politics
and the wind.
Dahlia Tusa, Naperville, Ill.
Dear Dahlia,
It's just the politics. Chicago's "Windy City" nickname was coined in New
York City, and it has no weather connection. In 1893, New York Sun editor Charles
Dana, having grown weary of hearing Chicago politicians boast of the huge
success of Chicago's 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, editorially dubbed
Chicago "that Windy City."
Wind records from 255 U.S. cities indicate that 75 cities have higher average
winds than Chicago's 10.4 m.p.h.
