For food lovers, dinner tastes Titanically fine
The original dinner may have ended in disaster, but exactly 95 years after the RMS Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean, gourmet chef Adam Bernstein kept its first-class menu afloat. After taking the helm at Adam's Place in downtown Eugene, Bernstein instituted the dinner - now in its ninth year - selecting dishes similar to those that would have been served the night the White Star Line's luxury ship struck an iceberg during its maiden voyage in 1912. "I'm a little bit of a culinary history buff," Bernstein said Sunday as he prepared for the evening meal. "Historical menus are challenging: In this particular case, you're trying to go backward in time, trying to duplicate the world as it was, rather than make a new world." The former caterer for the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver, the Victorian-era home of the "unsinkable" woman who aided other passengers during the crisis, Bernstein said he enjoys cooking meals that harken back to the early 20th century.

'Japanese Cooking' is still the master
When "Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art" first came out 25 years ago, sushi was exotic, teriyaki was the sauce, and miso soup was for the macrobiotic crowd. No one who frequented the few Japanese restaurants in American cities could have predicted what would happen in just over two decades. The late Shizuo Tsuji mastered Japanese cuisine, then French. He started the Tsuji Culinary Institute in Osaka in 1960 to train chefs, and it remains one of the well-respected cooking schools in Japan. He wrote this encyclopedic book to share the "essence and spirit" of his native cuisine. In this 25th anniversary edition, the content is the same as the original. There is a foreword by the late food writer M.F.K. Fisher and a preface by Tsuji, both of which are from the first volume, as well as a new foreword by Gourmet magazine's Ruth Reichl, and a preface by Tsuji's son, Yoshiki.
Hooked On Cooked
Fire up the convection oven, break out the gourmet sea salt and ready that basting wand. Chefs - their restaurants, their profession, their lives - are cooking up a storm in pop culture. In a tasty bit of culinary synchronicity, the lives of professional chefs and restaurant themes are playing out in movies, on television and in print.
The recent publication of "Cooked: From the Streets to the Stove, from Cocaine to Foie Gras," a memoir by chef Jeff Henderson, was quickly followed by news that actor Will Smith has optioned the rights to star in a film about the one-time coke dealer who learned the joys of cooking in prison and went on to become the executive chef at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The same team that made "Pursuit of Happyness" (which earned Smith an Oscar nomination) will produce the film version of this redemption memoir.

Nine ways to splurge your tax rebate (and one way to save)

Oh, "Def Jam: Icon," just when I stop condoning violence, you make a game where I can fight Young Jeezy in the Penthouse as Ghostface Killah. For Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, costs $59.99 at ebgames.com. 1. Save: so you don't feel guilty
Consider the 9-month ING Direct Certificate of Deposit with 5.05 percent interest. It's better than a savings account because of the amount of interest you'll be earning. Then, once you make some money off of it, maybe you'll feel more like splurging (see related items above).
