tyler florence, will you marry me?

Hi,

My name is Julie Huang and I am a poor, literally starving graduate student from Yale University.

I grew up in the DC area where pho (vietnamese noodle soup) is plentiful and cheap. As a college student, it was a filling, delicious staple to my diet. A year ago, I moved to New Haven, CT to go to graduate school at Yale University. Despite New Haven's diverse population and variety of ethnic restaurants, there is nowhere to get an excellent bowl of vietnamese noodle soup. I can handle the daily beratings from my advisor, the lack of sleep and living off of a measly grad student stipend. . . but I can't survive without my Pho! My roommate is also a huge fan of pho... we even found T-shirts online that have bowls of pho on the front-- these we wear with pride.

I am writing to see if Tyler would come do one of his famous food interventions here in New Haven, CT. If Tyler could show me and my roommate how to cook our own bowls of pho, it would be un-pho-gettable! :)

Love,
Julie & Tina

Assaulted!

One recent morning, I awoke up to this disturbing carnage on the balcony right outside of my living room.



Squirrels.

Goddamn squirrels.














So the squirrels got to Bo Bice sometime in the night, and got their dirty little paws into his pristine dirt. I half expect an oak tree to sprout from Bo Bice by next Fall. But the voraciousness of the little rodents apparently got to the better of them-- check out the tell-tale bite marks that the greedy little bastards left behind on the citronella candles.
















Note that candles are NOT in fact, edible. Note also, more candle carnage left behind by the tuft-tailed perpetrator. These USED to be tealight candles. Their aluminum wrapper? Ripped and taken as perverted trophies by the perp.















I'm putting out an APB on a squirrel, possibly two, last seen fleeing the 5th floor balcony of Crown Court, bellies full of inedible wax. Suspects should be considered armed and dangerous, and slightly crazy. Reward if captured dead or alive: knowing that an innocent plant has been brought to justice. Bonus reward of squirrel soup if both suspects are captured alive.

up late. nightmare.
