Amy-Style Lentils
Amy’s Place is a cool diner in Buffalo. There used to be a second location way out here in the country by my house. This location was only open for a few years, but it was my go-to place for weekend breakfasts, my daily morning bagel (don’t do that. it makes you fat.), and comforting dinners. They have lots of great food but all of my favorite dishes include a lentil mixture...

inthefade: When my son was nine (2002) he had to write an essay for school about family holiday traditions. This is what he wrote.

Yet more hipster-related news
As the proprietor of urbanhipster.com, I feel obligated to share any hipster-related news and sociological research I stumble across. Today’s link is to a London Globe & Mail column titled “The Backlash Against Hipsters Has Begun.” It’s a good article, but hipster backlash is by no means new. Ten years ago in Chicago, the coolest person I knew said that Wicker Park...

Me: It's called a gate. One of you needs to walk through it. It's even open!
Mother cow: Mooo.
Baby cow: *blink*

Feeding your vegetarian friends at a cookout
squashed: The weather is warming up—which means it’s time to fire up the grill and invite friends over for burgers, brats, and a celebration of our victory over the edible mammals. But … what do you feed your weird vegetarian friend? This question seems to genuinely concern a lot of people.

Abandon ship.
I’ve done it. I’ve turned into a person who only posts pictures or videos of cute animals on her bloggy thing. Once I had thoughts, feelings, ideas. Now “Aww, so fluffy!” is about as far as I get. Unfollow at will.
