“The Lost Tribes of New York City,” via Cup of Jo, who writes:

Urban anthropologists Carolyn and Andy London animated street objects of New York using the voices of New Yorkers they had interviewed. Absolute genius.

Reminds me of one of my favorite animations of all time, Nick Park’s “Creature Comforts.”

Mark Bittman’s No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars were one of my favorite things about summer 2008. Easy, fast, and so, so delicious. They’d be perfect for a 4th of July barbecue — maybe add sliced strawberries for a red-white-and-blue theme?

Other no-bake treats that looks scrumptious and will keep you cool in the kitchen:

Chocolate Raspberry Cream Pie

Lemon Cream Tart

Strawberry Cheesecake

Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Cookies

Miniature Chocolate Cheesecake

New York is a city of neurotics. Today’s example: this NYT article about New Yorkers who are waging a war against outdoor schmutz in their indoors spaces.

Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, a prominent interior designer, and his partner, Steven Wine, a lighting designer, undress each time they enter their apartment on West 23rd Street, where almost everything is white. Then they put on “inside clothes” — usually shorts and T-shirts. […]

He added, in an e-mail message: “Since we are not about to impose the remove-your-clothes-and-change rule on our guests, we tend to not entertain strangers that often. Our interior world stays much cleaner that way.”

I’m going to see the documentary Food, Inc. tonight, so today is Know Your Multinational Food Conglomerates Day. This is Phil Howard’s chart of the current structure of the organic food industry.

Note that “Cargill’s strategic alliances with French Meadow and Hain Celestial are to develop products with nutritionally enhanced organic ingredients
such as phytosterols, soy isoflavones, trehalose, inulin, and chondroitin….”

Emphasis mine.

A Cocktail to Beet the Heat

I’m rather crazy about beets but would have never thought to combine them with that other thing I’m rather crazy about (liquor) until that guy I’m rather crazy about (one letter, rhymes with “phlegm”) ordered a beet sangria at Tailor. Beetalicious.
