My Latest Obsession: Rhubarb Bitters

I *just* bought these over the weekend while on a quick trip to Portland. By coincidence, drank some that night in a Whiskey Soda Lounge cocktail called Rhubarb Blush. Now desperate to try to recreate it at home. Delicious.

Movie theater food: what's your favorite and are you a smuggler?

I have only smuggled once or twice in my entire history of movie-going. I like the chocolate frozen yogurt and figure it's not worth the effort to try to sneak it in. But, a few weeks ago, I bought a very good duck rilette sandwich with bits of cornichon from this fabulous French deli and then ate it while watching a not-very-good movie. The sandwich was the best part of that afternoon.
