Does Organic Food Turn You into a Jerk? →
Are these strawberries organic? Is this omelette made with free-range eggs? Can you swap out the rice for quinoa? Is this kale locally sourced? Pesticide-free? Fair trade? Are the hazelnuts local? The onslaught of questions from an enlightened eater can test the patience of even the calmest restaurant server. And a new study shows that […]

Preserve the Pinevue and Melrose Buildings!
Hi all!!! Many Capitol Hill residents are outraged about the recent plans to demolish the 300 block of East Pine Street. This block contains the Pinevue and Melrose Buildings, home to Bauhaus Coffee and several other thriving independent businesses. These buildings have maintained their original storefronts and show no significant sign of alteration for nearly 100 years. Tearing down these...

Almond Olive Oil Cake
Oh my, this Almond Olive Oil Cake by Lottie & Doof looks absolutely scrumptious. I haven’t tried the recipe yet. #1 Because I just read it. #2 Because I would probably eat the entire cake for breakfast. Happiness with a side of coffee? Oh yes, indeed.

Cannabis Cabernet - The Kitchn →
The news of the day: apparently “pot wine” has become quite the surreptitious trend among some Northern California winemakers. For obvious reasons, these vintners keep their weed winemaking on the down low, reserving the bottles for special friends and a select group of “like-minded” individuals. What’s the draw? According to Crane Carter, the president of the Napa...

Soups, Savories and Seattle Sun
The sun is shining in Seattle on this glorious Earth Day, which means people in the Emerald City are actually smiling and making eye contact. The dogs and babies are frolicking in the fountains; pasty white not-so-stylish bodies are soaking up Vitamin D in the parks; the Capitol Hill farmers’ market just kicked off its first over-priced local-organic-sustainable day of the year; and...

Anthony Bourdain ... and the Allure of Normalcy →
The comments that I love are the ones that say I’m trying to stay relevant, especially when it comes to the music I put in the shows. What the fuck does that even mean? If I’m listening to good music or doing a Queens of the Stone Age show, does that make me relevant? It certainly doesn’t. It might demonstrate that I have very good taste in music, but it does not make me...
