The homeless apparently create unsafe parks by, and this one’s a bit tricky, eating in them.
So Orlando is now banning feeding the homeless. Much like we ban feeding Canadian Geese here in CT.
Oddly for much the same reason. Orlando is going to eliminate the “homeless threat” before the “homeless win”. Because once […]

My definition of edible may clash with others. For food to be edible it must be
A) Well Prepared
B) Comestible (able to be eaten)
C) Cheap Enough For Me To Afford
And Why Curry? over on St. Marks meets all three of my criteria. Many New York eateries won’t meet C, even if their food […]

It might be a lot worse than anything they’re reporting on.
Let’s work with some hypotheticals. In countries with adequate healthcare, lodging, and environs what’s the biggest health sink? Stress.

I’ve got to say, if you’re looking for a strong cup of green go with the Bancha. It’s a little […]

(This is beyond the scope of my tea related post.  Google it.)
So it passed by my attention that […]

After some serious finagling with WP 2.02 we managed to get it going for one of my friends. Turns out that there isn’t that much difference between it and the 1.x release I’m using now and it seems to be working pretty well.
If you’re into cooking he’s got a blog of his adventures at […]

Wandering around St. Marks Place down in the city I happened across an old standard and one new place to eat.
Crepe Creations is more over near Washington Park, but it’s definately worth the trek out if you’re at all into crepes.  They do both whole wheat and standard, with an amazing array of toppings for […]
