From Hizbollah to Heating-Ducts

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
On today’s show: New York Times UN correspondent Neil MacFarquhar talks about some of the unexpected things that happened to him during the years he covered the Middle East. Then, one man's attempt to read all 51 volumes of the Harvard Classics Library and the personal turmoil he faced along the way. And, the author of the part memoir, part cookbook called "I Loved. I Lost. I Made Spaghetti." Plus, your calls to the gurus of how-to, Al and Larry Ubell.

Let us know what your "Food Rules" are by leaving a comment on our showpage. We'll go over them with Michael Pollan tomorrow!
