What Do You Do In Milwaukee? (Part I)
1. Go to Bay View‘s South Shore Farmers Market. Bay View is a thriving area of Milwaukee and its South Shore Park is home to a wonderful farmers market.

Once you go Midwest, you never go back.
———————– Public Service Announcement:Like Alaska tries to reel in the ladies for its many eligible bachelors, New York City needs men. Not gay men (In Jerry‘s voice: not that there’s anything wrong with that). Not effeminate men. Men who worry about accessorizing, hair care products and ironic facial hair patterns need not apply. We already [...]
Map Schmap
Schmap, an online & interactive map sweeping the iPhone nation, has included my photo of Tucson’s Casbah Tea House in the newly released fifth edition Schmap Tucson Guide. Check it out here. And here’s a picture that should have made it to the newly released fifth edition Schmap Tucson Guide but didn’t.
Perhaps Labor Day doesn’t come from a store. Perhaps Labor Day means a little bit more.
As the Industrial Revolution took hold of the nation, the average American in the late 1800s worked 12-hour days, seven days a week in order to make a basic living.

My Own Post-Punk Kitchen
I went vegetarian when I was 16 years old. At the time this decision was much like the color of my hair (swatch: n): a statement against societal norms. Both were a rebellion against what I, in the wake of my development as an young adult, chose not to support… in the case of my [...]

Jelly Donut Cupcakes
After using half a pad of Post-its in my copy of Veganomicon (which I keep between my mattress and boxspring like a dirty magazine), I returned to my favorite kitchen activity: cupcaking. I don’t know what I like more: tasting the end result or lapping up the wet batter like a parched dog. I must [...]
My Space
I have been unemployed quite a while, save for several weeks of temporary work. But with the coming of the fall I return to both the workforce and the schoolforce once again.

Watching Paint Peel
Returning from evening classes at Brooklyn College via Q train, I sat on the train’s last car for an easy connection at Union Square. After a full day of work and school, (I wasn’t going to waste time, finally mine, by walking the length of the platform to connect.) The Q train runs local in [...]
