brain dump 004 [mid-month nonsense]
field to plate, a state-by-state guide to seasonal availability of fresh produce. speaking of fresh produce, check out douglas's "project omniherbivore" posts, where he details his adventures in trying to prepare and eat all veggies (ex. cardoons and black radishes).
vegetarian meal plans (via melissa). cassie young, a vegetarian in british columbia, posts week-to-week meal plans (with shopping lists!) and recipes. i can't wait to try her lentil, radish, and orange salad with spinach, and she seems to have cracked the mystery of the cold buckwheat noodle salad dressing. hooray!
the new york age quiz (from time out new york). i am 44, apparently; this is george's fault for taking joe and me to the village vanguard for jazz a few months ago. the quiz results page consoled me and (ironically) suggested i attend live music shows more often. how old are you, internets?
the hairy-footed pygmy gerbil, close to extinction in the jebel marra mountains in darfur (there are reportedly about 100 left).
lolcat veronica mars, via television without pity.
thrice-cursed etsy! this week someone made a bag (my favorite color, my lucky number, and a big bug!) AND a tchotchke just for me. need money tree.
also afoot in kidchampia: a mass migration to a castle in ireland. seriously.

Nothing--and I mean nothing--is better in the lolXYZ meme than Fark's lolpresident thread. Examples (for those who have no time):

okay, lolgore is awesome. i thought "i has a budget" (bush) was my favorite, but that tops it.
i still reject I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?, though.
What, the lolcats page or the William Howard Taft picture ripping of the name of said page?
Actually: you don't need to answer that if you don't want to. The fact that lolcats is taking up space in your brain--and mine as well--is somewhat disturbing. There are kids starving in Africa, you know.
update: per time out, george is 27 and joe is 24 (!). on joe, i console myself with the knowledge that he's turning real-thirty next month and i'm not.
ooh, thanks for the food links. will take full advantage this summer, when grocery shopping is finally in the cards.
as for the others, time out claims i am 48 and that i need to go see more live music - even though that was the one young-ish thing i checked. oh well.
44, baby, 44. I blame a kind of in-betweeny sense of where things are, and a crap sense of NY geography. And that I'm in grad school. You're pretty much 40 if you're in grad school no matter what... ; )
but wait! i just looked again and YOU'RE 44, too! and we're fabulous.
i embrace my diet coke and my why-not-hit-the-big-5th-ave-H&M-rather-than-the-small-ones approach to shopping. i need more live music, too, though.
not that this really matters, since i can count on one hand the number of times i've been to nyc, but my age is 49. and for the record, i do think the bugaboo frog is extravagant (even if it is better than a maclaren).
i managed to tie joe in my new york age. is this "good" or "bad"? i can't yet tell...
v, also for the record, you're the reason i could make an educated guess that those bugaboo strollers are called "frogs". i recognized maclaren from the kidlets...
i wonder which of the place recognition answers added the most to your age, of all of the different ones, and the yes/no/maybe choices. hmm.
i think elaine's (among the places) would kick you up pretty high. then again, joe got that one right AND he was there recently and i didn't and wasn't, and i'm the old fart. as for the bugaboo frog, i knew that one because it's in us weekly all the time.
given that the test is telling enjelani to see more music and she makes it on a regular basis, it's safe to say we're not working with hard science here. i still think some stuff is extra-arbitrary, though.
