First, this excellent review of a biography of Noah Webster from
Sunday's Book Review:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/29/books/review/book-review-the-forgotten-founding-father-noah-websters-obsession-and-the-creation-of-an-american-culture-by-joshua-kendall.html

and then three days later, a piece--
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/01/books/john-donohue-taps-male-cooks-in-man-with-a-pan-book-review.html
--on a new book (_MAN WITH A PAN: Culinary Adventures of Fathers Who
Cook for Their Families_, by John Donoghue) that features an essay by
Jesse along with others by (almost) equally prominent SNAGs
("Sensitive New Age Gluttons") like Stephen King and Mario Batali.
It fills us in on recent developments in Jesse's love life and
culinary adventures, including his attempts to deal with with the
dread "sexually transmitted eating disorder".  (Sounds like fun.)
