Online teff shopping: [link] . I've also often seen it sold in Ethiopian restaurants.
'Harm's Way'
Natter 58: Let's call Venezuela!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
tommyrot: the NYT weighs in on Steampunk.
I've seen teff at Whole Foods. I've also seen whole quinoa there, but never quinoa flour, though I can't really say I've been looking. For a while, the Watergate Safeway was carrying teff, but I haven't seen it there lately.
Sigh. I miss Hugo's. And I also loved a place called the Upstage Cafe on Wilshire that has long been replaced by a Denny's. It was in the Wiltern and had splendid ometettes.
Any LA-istas remember a place on Melrose in the 80's called "Gasoline Alley"? My gawd I spent more nights at that place...and I was so broke. Their little tiny mochas were $2.75 which is a fortune, but they were so good. And Sharon (the owner) was awesome.
I miss LA a lot sometimes. Can't believe I haven't been back in almost 2 years.
Okay, steampunk does not cover Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic style. I will grant the possibility of post-apocalyptic timing, but it's still a Victorian/Edwardian feel. Not mid-late 20th century.
Nifty that they have all them black folk steampunking it up.
It is that rarity, a phenomenon with the potential to capture a wider audience, offering a genteel and disciplined alternative to both the slack look of hip-hop and the menacing spirit of goth.
Jilli is "menacing"?
Theo - I have some T'eff. I got it at a local Health Food Store - It's Bob's brand. I had zero luck doing injera with it the one time I tried. But I have a different recipe to try out, so I hold hope.
Even Tomorrowland is steampunk now: [link] The original concept turned retro, so they went way back, I guess.
OMG, the Fug girls made me laugh and laugh: [link]
geez - the crap I find cleaning out things. I've been dealing with magazines for the last week, mostly old Budget Living and ReadyMade with the odd craft mag thrown in, but tonight I found the Village Voice 2000 Best of New York article. Oct, 2000! I haven't gone out much at all since 2002, why the hell do I have that. TRASH!
