Yesterday afternoon, I curled up on my couch and started my weekend ritual: flipping through the Sunday Times. After reading the magazine and the wedding pages (by far the most decadent of sections), I commenced the inevitable: reading about food.
I was totally captivated by Christine Muhlke’s article on Judith Jones, an accomplished editor at Knopf. The woman who saved Anne Frank’s diary from the refuse pile is now raising cattle. That’s right, cattle. Three years ago she bought six pregnant cows for $900 a piece; now the herd numbers at twenty. Once a simple hobby, this project seems to have turned into something a bit more serious.
