    That’s gorgeous romanesco! I’ve never seen purple romanesco before, only green. I’d love to paint it! My daughter has a great recipe for romanesco, actually.

    I remember seeing that after eating mushrooms at the Botanical Gardens. Forget what it’s called though.

    • Is it Winter or Spring? Either way stay happy and healthy with the help of Sacred Vibes and aromatherapy! March 10, 2010
      I live in the ever growing Ditmas Park neighborhood in Brooklyn. In the past year, our neighborhood has acquired many things one of which is an herbal apothecary store called Sacred Vibes. I live next door to this shop and have been curious about it since its opening. So when it came to some herbal [...] […]
    • OS Journal 3/10/10: WWEFD? March 10, 2010
      Well, Scribd has logged in more than 400 free downloads of Memoirs of an Occasional Superheroine, and over 1,600 on-site reads. This is probably the last week I will have it up. It was a good experiment, all-in-all. I'm not sure if the "free" approach is going to save the media as we know it, but I do think it definitely has its place. What me […]
    • Mad Men, Barbie Style March 10, 2010
      These limited edition Barbies inspired by the AMC show Mad Men are the bomb-diggity, and one of the more improbable toy tie-ins in licensing history. But somehow I don't think Mattel is marketing this line to the kiddie crowd.Suggested future TV tie-ins for Barbie:Actually, I'll just take the last one. […]
    • Amazon's "Comicgate" - You Never Lost What You Never Had? March 10, 2010
      Tucker Stone over at Comixology has a pretty powerful take on the whole Amazon.com "Comicgate'' controversy. Just to refresh the memory of the few who may not have heard of this massive clusterfuck, over last weekend Amazon.com's pricing on graphic novels and omnibuses (omnibi?) got screwed up, seemingly offering huge discounts for pricey […]
    • RIP Corey Haim / A Little Slice Of The Late 80s March 10, 2010
      When talking lovingly about Eighties Retro, I think many times people skip over those last couple of years at the end. The late 1980s were almost like the Seventies of the Eighties. A lot of the tropes that were cool and unique from the early-to-mid 1980s sort of were done to death by 1989. Fluorescent clothing. Big hair. The Cosby Show. Actually, the whole […]

    • Round and about: a very utilitarian round up March 9, 2010
      For the past ten days, I’ve been sick in a very Victorian invalid sort of way. Meaning that if I had a fainting couch, I’d be lolling about on it (preferably in a velvet day gown while clutching a bottle of laudanum). I’ve even been without a voice for four days. The good news is [...] […]
    • First Annual Souperama: The Participants March 9, 2010
       The Souperama held at Jimmy's No. 43 in NYC As I have been mentioning, myself and 15 other soupy lovers recently participated in the First Annual Souperama held at Jimmy's No. 43 in NYC. A great concept that brought chefs and amateur cooks together to showcase their specialties, family recipes, and inventive twists on their favorite soups. It was […]
