Quibi with Your Best Shot

Quibi is disposable streaming in a non-disposable era, and makes me miss movie theaters even more.

What do you miss the most during this crisis? Something stupid and embarrassing that you don’t want to share with anyone? I know right now haircuts are the thing the media believes we miss most, but I guarantee there’s something even smaller that you wish you hadn’t taken for granted while it was a commonplace […]

Made-from-scratch foods using local ingredients doesn’t cut it anymore—for the hyper-demanding, über-conscious customers of the American West, a bakery must cater to the picky/sickly/dieting/impossibly fit patrons who require gluten-free, […]

CSA should mean carrots, squash and asparagus
Avatar photo Phil Busse

Like so many great ideas, CSA began in the ’80s. In, of all places, New Hampshire. The idea behind community-supported agriculture (yup, CSA) was to put the power back in the farmers’ control—and also to better connect consumers to seasonal vegetables rather than allowing people to select their foodstuff based on their immediate tastes—whether that […]
