Francisco Goldman reviews Mario Vargas Llosa's The Feast of the Goat.
The Feast of the Goat, nearly documentary in tone, is a dense, dramatic, at times almost unbearably cruel and relentless political novel. It belongs to the illustrious tradition of the Latin American–dictator novel, in this case the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. But it is also a culmination of two searches

Note: the French version is here.Here I'm back after few adventures in the kitchen (a great class at Lenôtre school in Cannes all about Christmas menu and French Holidays cooking, stay tuned for more!), a nasty illness, a surprise Birthday party to organize, the return of my husband and ... work!After that busy period there was very little time left to post my participation for Aurely's Food blog game :"Blog me your recipe". It's pretty simple and amusing too. Participants have to "steal" a recipe from the blog Aurely points you to and badaboom you have to rush to your kitchen and redo one recipe.Flo from "Un Flo de bonnes choses"already stolen one of my cream split peas and bacon soup.My mission was to dig into a great blog: "Beau à la louche" and pick a victim err... a recipe.I took my pick and the winner is: "Goat cheese and baby spinach risotto"I followed the recipe but replaced the spinach by mache salad (a seasonal pick!)Ingredients: (for party of 2)- 120g (3/4 cup) of Arborio

If I wasn’t well acquainted with my angel’s [cough] father, I could probably be convinced that he was a goat.
Case in point:
Not only does she insist on climbing on everything, she also eats everything.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m glad that I don’t have a picky eater. She’ll eat anything I [...]
MIXED MUSHROOM & GOAT CHEESE Ingredients8 oz mushrooms (I used an equal mix of Shiitake, Cremini, and Chanterelle)2 tbsp unsalted butter1 small onion, finely chopped2 cloves garlic, minced1 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary2 tbsp finely chopped chives1 tsp finely ground long pepper¼ tsp fleur de sel6 oz goat cheeseMethod1. Cut the mushroom caps in half and then into ¼ inch slices (throw the stems in the green bin). 2. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Just as it begins to brown add the onions and garlic. When they get soft (around 4 minutes) add the fresh sage, rosemary, and long pepper. Stir and give these aromatics time to meet and mingle, just a couple of minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and let them get all wilted (5-6 minutes), they’ll reduce in size and but get concentrated in flavour, especially with those herbs.3. Crumble the goat cheese in a medium bowl and pour the mushroom mix on top. Stir together so that the cheese melts.

Back in May Lexington wrote a story about a goat fucker in the Sudan who was forced by the court to marry the goat. Here in the states I don’t think our court system is that creative.
TACOMA, Wash. - A man accused of having sex with a goat was scheduled to be arraigned Friday on an animal cruelty charge. Charging papers say a witness saw 63-year-old Arthur Lawton having sex with a goat May 8 in a barn at Eatonville’s Pioneer Farm Museum, where he worked.
Lawton said he was trying to milk the goat.
His “milking the goat” defense reminds me of this classic exchange from City Slickers II.
Glen: There is something wrong with your cow. I reach under there and I’m pulling, tugging, tugging, pulling, nothing, not a drop.
Mitch: The cow’s name is Norman. You were pulling on his dick.
Glen: I’m gonna go wash up.

This excellent New York Times editorial by Timothy Egan (Times Select) tells the story of former U.S. House Repug J.D. Hayworth from Arizona who ranted and demagogued all over the place on the illegal immigration issue, so much so that he ended up getting voted out of office despite the power of 12 years of House incumbency.The column went on to describe how the Repugs have been losing ground all over the place on this issue in the southwest in particular because of some of the truly looney-tune rhetoric about rounding up the illegals and kicking them out (as if that were even possible; commerce would grind to a halt in this country without them, and they've shown that they can organize and make noise on their own behalf - would that other groups that shared our interests did the same).Anyway, the column also quotes Trent Lott, who "blamed talk radio for the possibly fatal collapse of the immigration reform bill."And just for good measure (and to totally validate Egan's sound argumen
SCHAUMBURG, Ill.
— The FDA announced today that a U.S. company—Tembec BTLSR Inc. of Toledo, Ohio—has been identified as producing a melamine-contaminated ingredient used in domestic livestock feed as well as in domestic and exported fish feed. This is a separate contamination from the nationwide pet food recall that began March 16, in which the melamine-contaminated ingredient was imported from Chinese manufactures.
Tembec has used the contaminated ingredient as a binding agent in two of its commercial fish feeds, AquaBond and Aqua-Tec II, intended for domestic use as well as for export. The company also shipped the contaminated binding ingredient to Uniscope, Inc. of Johnstown, Colo., for use in domestic livestock feed, Xtra-Bond, for cattle, goats and sheep.The FDA has advised that the contaminated fish feeds be recalled, but has not advised that the contaminated livestock feeds be recalled because they contain lower levels of melamine and melamine-related compounds, and there
In spring and summer when the trees are in leaf, it's very rare to see this animal, the Japanese Serow. It is an ancient species endemic to Asia, it's closest relatives are members of the goat family. The Mainland Serow is a larger animal and found in more tropical latitudes.Calves stay with their mothers for a year or so, but as adults they are mostly solitary.In winter the Serows move out the forest and forage on the southern slopes warmed by the winter sun. On these slopes, where there is slightly less snow, they dig for whatever they can find to eat. They have regular pathways through their territory which they mark by glands just below the eye - a strong smelling vinegar scent is used. Both males and females mark objects. There are spots in the territory reserved for resting and for defecation. Japan has given the animal 'national treasure' status, which has meant that population numbers have increased.
