Wegmans (of course) and The Incredi-Burger Un-box
Is it a sign of age that many of my trips include visiting key grocery stores, and that my friends/family do the same when the come to see us? We have the headquarters of both Whole Foods and Central Market in Austin that have become (for reals) top tourist destinations. In several cities we visit […]
The Peeler Guy In Union Square
I first saw this guy as part of a video/sculpture installation at the Whitney Biennial 2008. I made a point of finding him in Union Square to see the spiel for myself. Some of you will now be able to guess what gift we brought you form NYC.
Looks like we’re going to need a bigger garden.
We’ve been discussing Peak Oil for quite a while around here. Now we can all start worrying about Peak Wheat. Are potatoes the answer?
Growing groceries update

I’ve always said that my reasons for going meat free were more practical (texture and taste icks me out, mainly) […]
Global Resources in a Can
During lunch today at the always delicious Banzai I tried Enviga – a new calorie burning green tea energy drink from Nestea.
