FoodieGreenie: I think I confused myself. Vintage port is ruby port but ruby port is not necessarily vintage port. Vintage port is the stuff that has "vintage port" and a vintage date printed on ...
Whether or not port gets better with age depends on the type. Old ruby port doesn't taste all that much different from new ruby port, while tawny port is best when it is at least 20 years old. Th...
It depends on how you want to present yourself.
Traditional politeness: Politely decline the turkey and make a meal out of the non-meat dishes. Grocery store holiday meals are unlikel...
Organic was the new vegetarianism, and eating local is the new organic. People want to be able to claim some sort of moral high ground, but they don't actually want to have to make any sacrifices ...
A good, brief coffee tour can by had by walking up East Pike Street. Start with Victrola, continue on to Caffe Vita, turn right on 12th, and end up at Stumptown. If you're still not jittery, cons...
I bought one of these at Crate and Barrel last summer. The concept is pretty nice, but you definitely have to expect mood lighting rather than, say, a reading lamp.

If you're trying to reduce your total carbon footprint without actually bothering to research the carbon footprints of various items you consume, it's likely you're making nowhere near the impact y...
Brutalism is responsible for a lot of ugliness, but at least most Brutalist works evoke something (usually a military prison). The people of Boston should consider themselves lucky their city isn'...
The one thing I really do miss from Alaska is reindeer sausage. It's a breakfast staple in the frozen north but I don't think I've ever seen it anywhere else.
I made risotto using this rice last night and it worked out well enough. The rice came apart a bit in a way that arborio usually doesn't, but it was not noticeable enough to throw off the texture ...
I had a few really strange Benedicts in Anchorage, Alaska:
The "Rainster" at City Diner. Instead of an English muffin, they use French toast. I was only able to eat half.

When I had this at Guu in Vancouver, it was served with big chunks of daikon. Man, was that ever delicious.
