Oh Mark, we have forsaken you! But our true love still runs deep, even if the time we have to devote to is has been slim with a side of competely absent.
But lo! Today marks an landmark day, because I just downloaded the Mark-Bittman-is-my-boyfriend iPhone app, also known as the 'How to cook everything on the go' app. That and your videos on the NYT have become funny again. Yay to the psychadelic ninja opening theme!
And I am sorry you don't pick up the phone when I call, but thankfully Matt (from mattbites.com) got through to you and shared the conversation (follow the link to it below).
But anytime you want to talk Mark, you know, just HOLLA!
