Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

Our wings are not tired.
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 I miss Hugo's. And I also loved a place called the Upstage Cafe on Wilshire that has long been replaced by a Denny's. It was in the Wiltern and had splendid ometettes.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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Even Tomorrowland is steampunk now: [link] The original concept turned retro, so they went way back, I guess.

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!

Uh, seriously? Ultimate Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are getting all Flowers in the Attic? WHAT.
Although this made me laugh and laugh, and if I hadn't just changed my tagline, I might have to use this:
There has to come a time in your life--possibly in the middle of porking your twin sister while Wolverine watches from the bushes--where you just have to take a step back and wonder at what point you turned into goddamn Caligula.
