Edit: I forgot to mention that the article is by Michael Pollan. So it may be less the NY Times taking it’s own stand, as allowing everyone’s favorite sustainable eating author to take one.
In today’s NY Times magazine there is an article about the rising rate of MRSA infections in the US and the fact […]

It’s always when you’re finally ready to let something go that things go wrong. We’re seriously considering selling our house here in the city and moving a bit farther out.

Yesterday it snowed our first dusting of the year. Not enough to be impressive, just enough to put me in the Christmas mood. We’d hung the wreath earlier last week (need to remember to get a picture of it as it’s gorgeous) and we’d bought a 7′ live tree the weekend after Thanksgiving.
