My partner has one very hard and fast rule about loading the dishwasher: "GO NEAR IT AND I'LL BREAK YOUR LEGS." Even though I know a galantine from a ballotine, I have no idea how to put the wine glasses into the dishwasher so that they don't break. Dishwasher Wars: What Are Your Loading Rules? |

Like I once said here (http://www.poormansfeast.com/archives/my-plant-based-diet-of-delusion.html), grass fed beef is not a vegetable. Being hip and trendy, and jumping on a bandwagon does not make one a vegan, or a vegetarian. Bittman is neither (and neither am I, for the record). He's also a little late to the party (see Pollan's "Eat more plants"). We're totally hung up on labels in this country: you're not a vegan unless you are. You're not a vegetarian if you eat a little meat every once in a while. Either do it, or get off the soapbox. I much prefer Bill McKibben's approach: he's a vegetarian, but if he's in someone's home and they serve him meat, he eats it out of respect for his hosts, and appreciation. To not do so would make him a disrespectful idiot. Bittman's claim that PB&J is vegan is ridiculous; in that case, so is popcorn. So are potato chips and pretzels and Funyans and Bugles.

How timely: my partner, after trying everything, just had surgery to 1) remove her uvula, which was literally resting on the back of her throat; 2) correct her seriously deviated septum; 3) repair 2 sinus turbinates. Don't Lose Sleep Over It: A Guide to Surviving Snoring |

I've had a longtime hatred of beets.....My entire life, I hated them --- loathed them --- for their sweet earthiness and bizarre texture. I always wanted to love them, though, for their empirical beauty, and when my partner and I got together, I discovered that as much as I hated them, that's how much she loved them. Every autumn, I'd see them, resplendent as jewels at the market, calling out to me, but I just couldn't do anything about it. Do You Have a Vegetable Conversion Story? |

An original 1960s Knoll tulip table with mahogany top, for free: someone left it in a dumpster in an empty part of the office building I worked in, so I moved it into my office, and then got permission to take it with me when our team was laid off.
