These Are a Few of My Favorite Things: Beets

I got this *huge* organic loose beet at Fairway this morning. It’s about as big as a coconut. Maybe bigger. Check the quarter for scale. This is an eBay trick that does not do the enormousness of the beet justice. I’ll use my head for scale later. With some olive Read more…


*Reprint* I ♡ Radiolab

I wrote this ode in August of 2009. I’m “reprinting” it today as I am struck by the realization that I’ve grown to need Radiolab… for support, for inspiration, for a connection–in a world where the homogenized, trite and shrill voice of mainstream culture succeeds in alienating me.

These are a few of my favorite things: Everything Bagels from Bagel Dock

You’ll likely think me a total dullard when I confess that one of the most pleasurable moments of my week is Saturday morning: biting into a twice-toasted everything whole wheat bagel from Freeport, Long Island’s Bagel Dock smeared with Earth Balance and Bonne Maman four fruit preserves. Sure, sure, it Read more…

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things: T&L Storms

The clouds and the sky, uninterrupted here, are quite distracting while driving.

Entering the Rockies from the Great Plains there was Read more…

These are a few of my favorite things: Pancakes

What can I say? I am all about a morning batch of pancakes. As long as I can remember I have had it bad for flapjacks. From when my mom used to mix up the boxed kind when I was a peon, to my taking over duties for the household Read more…

These Are A Few of My Favorite Things: Taking Pictures

Ever since I got my first Le Click camera as a lil’ bambino I have loved taking pictures. I have albums documenting my life, its inhabitants and biomes, since elementary school. I have several theories about why that I’m sure you’ll find cogent had I the energy to explain. But Read more…


These Are A Few of My Favorite Things: Day-long Bike Rides

Happiness is a day on da bike. After a hearty breakfast of my bona fide best vegan pancakes in the world, my bike bud and I hopped from Kings to Queens, a grossly under-represented borough in my New York City repertoire. Bike bud, having acquired expansive knowledge of bike hot-spots, Read more…


These Are A Few of My Favorite Things: The Radiolab Podcast

In my elementary, middle and high school education I excelled more in the language arts and humanities. I wrote my way out of atrocious grades, learning early that one writing assignment could compensate for a term’s worth of lacklusterness. As a tight-lipped introverted wallflower extraordinaire or, later, the queen of Read more…
