Music and Veganism

Yesterday morning Phil found that one of our car windows had been tagged with a paint pen.  We’ve (he) already cleaned it off, but it’s still a bummer.  Then, while putting my bike outside when I got home from work today, I realized his bike was gone (i.e stolen).  Someone climbed over our six foot [...]

The farmer’s market in our new neighborhood is small, but I like it a lot already.  The people at the stands are personable and chatty, and the prices are slightly less expensive.  In my old ‘hood, the market was famed throughout the city, so people would come from other areas of the city, making it [...]

Alright, friends, I have a confession to make.
I shop almost exclusively at Whole Foods.
And when I say that, I feel instantly judged; generally the gut reaction (or so I’ve been told) is, “Well, great for you.  I wish I could afford to shop at Whole Foods, you jerk!”

Yay!  The farmer’s market by my house (arguably the best in Philadelphia) has returned!  I do love that thing, even though I’m super awkward and I dread the actual purchasing-of-the-food aspect.  I don’t actually know why, but buying things from people directly, particularly when there’s no line and you have to be assertive to get [...]
