Lucy's Greenmarket Report

Posted on

I’m trying to eat simpler these days and I am trying to live by the creed of “If my great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize it as food, I’m not buying/eating it.” To that end, I like to get my food direct from the source with as few additives as possible. Organic is good. Its not the be all end all but its better than the alternatives most of the time.
If you are ever wondering what is going on in the Union Square Greenmarket, you don’t need to leave your apartment and go there. Instead, you can check out Lucy Wollin’s report, something she has been writing since 1993. I only just learned of it but as its something that our city’s chefs and restaurateurs pay attention to, I’m going to pay attention to it as well.

Is there anything sufficiently motivated and nerdy students cannot do? The Donkey Kong a la Post-It installation below can be found at UC Santa Cruz. It took a team of ten Nintenerds about five hours to complete it and they used over 6,400 colored Post-it Notes (although they had to buy over 14,000 to get all the colors they needed.) in the process.

No, I’m not kidding. I have a Wii and I wound up subscribing. I feel like I’m 11 all over again. There is nothing like having a bad day and then finding out that the latest issue of Nintendo Power just arrived. Nothing.
