I dream of tofu
This week, I decided to go vegetarian! Well I’m technically starting off “pescatarian”, because I still want to eat sushi and shrimp. (What can I say, the spirit is willing but the body is weak.) Still, I think this could … Continue reading →

An Experimental New Starbucks Store: Tiny, Portable, and Hyper Local
An Experimental New Starbucks Store: Tiny, Portable, and Hyper Local
Starbucks has reimagined the coffee hut as a “modern modular,” LEED-certified drive-thru and walk-up shop.

I didn’t know there were opponents of giving everyone the same access to healthy living environments. Everyone’s a critic.
