Seasonality

by Dark Martha August 13, 2010

For the last 50 years or so, America has veered sharply away from her agrarian roots in favor of convenience.  Generations of wisdom lost, because our supermarkets offer us boundless plenty, regardless of season.  We enjoy culinary delights from every corner of the globe every month of the year.  It was not always thus, and [...]

Losing It – TWICE! 1 of 2

by classicgrrl August 10, 2010

I’ve lost weight.  162.5 lbs to be exact.  Not all at once but in two major spasms of losing frenzies.  When people learn this – and it is usually a shock – the first question out of their mouth is “How?” I can tell what I did and the amount of time it took but [...]

An Appeal To Anthony Bourdain

by Nathan June 28, 2010

I admit it: I’m a fan boy. Not since Sean Penn had to have his monstrous ego held back by dozens of cops as he travailed for his lost daughter at the crime scene has an emotional response been so dramatically overdone in a manner of this proportion. It’s Bieber-esque. I recognize the folly, the ridiculousness, [...]

What is this picture missing? (Hint: it’s you)

by Nathan May 27, 2010

It’s magical, undeniable, visceral. Brimming with vitality. The aroma alone induces salivation. Bodies, not automobiles, cram every corner of every sanctioned block of the direct center of the city.

Lessons from Cincinnati suburbia

by Nathan May 15, 2010

I want to be completely honest with you up front: I live in Greenhills, just southwest of Forest Park. I’m married, have an 8-to-5 job, an 80 pound weimaraner that likes to chew on rawhides in my backyard, and a Honda Accord. I read the Drudge Report every day, I sometimes iron my jeans, and [...]
