Fall and Winter Budget Recipes, Volume IV: Homemade Granola on the Cheap
I just noticed another budget recipe link: the Whole Foods Budget Recipe Challenge. I think it’s pretty rich that Whole Foods, aka most expensive big chain grocery ever, is sponsoring a budget recipe challenge, but it’s their prerogative.

Product Placement: Nancy’s Plain Yogurt
Oh, Portopia. Oh, Nancy’s.
Back when I lived in Portland, Oregon, when I would come back home to visit the East coast, I’d rave about Portland all the time.

Miranda July and Lindsay Beamish Discuss ‘No One Belongs Here More Than You’
Miranda July’s bright yellow collection of short stories is still sitting, unread, on my shelf.

In any case, the ‘Learning To Love You More‘ website [...]
