Or Cal. Or some other pal. Really, these blueberries are for anyone. It might be grey and gloomy and wet out (why the heck did I think it was a good idea to run at the beach today? Holy Hurricane Bobby!), but it’s Farmers Market…

Today: Stop the madness.
A funny thing happened this evening. End of post? Sorry, not tonight. Better luck next time! While gulping down a post-run protein shake (how quickly I’ve made the transition from non-er to marathoner-in-training!), I looked at the box of organic whole wheat gourmet penne and…

I picked up Michael Pollan’s Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual because I love food and I love rules. I also love manuals. I was not disappointed. Michael Pollan has written a number of celebrated books on the topic of food, including The Omnivore’s Dilemma, which was…

Today: Take a dining risk
Remember that joke (by joke, I mean revolting display of partially chewed food)? I do. If you want to hear another joke (one that’s more funny than disgusting), ask me about the pirate and the ship’s wheel. So. Every once in a while it’s good…
