Axe Soup
I came back to Pennsylvania from a winter break in the south right before the big snow storm hit yesterday. One of the biggest disadvantages of doing that is that I’m low on food supplies and don’t want to venture outside even for the necessary grocery shopping. First, it’s too cold and the snow is 15 inches high. Second, it’s MLK Day and I’m not sure if anything is open. Walmart, probably. Third, I don’t even want to take my car on the snowy road.

Welcome to Olive Hell and Why I Gag at the Thought of Eating Them
I was recently reminded of an experience with olives where I nearly threw up at my relative's house. A few years ago, I took a business trip to a city in the Northeast that was within twenty minutes of where my Aunt and Uncle lived. There was no way I could sneak into the vicinity and not stop in to see them.

Aftermath: Part III, The Good, The Bad, and the Imaginary
Previously: (Part 3 of a 5 part series) "Betting on a coin flip would be wiser than opening a restaurant. A celebrity chef, a franchise, or a popular trend all lend you a higher possibility for success. But It also means pinning success to reputation and fashion. It may seem secure, but it's almost as much of a gamble. Mario Batali."

The New England (New Orleans) Country Store
I grew up in Massachusetts, in the hill towns. Once or twice a week, I would go down the hill with my mom or dad and as most young kids did, I would be looking forward to the eventual stop where I got some sugar. For me, this was a little store we just called 'the country store' in Charlemont, Mass. Its real name was Wells Corner Country Store, and Mr. Wells, and sometimes his daughter, were always behind the counter. And my prized goal of the day - the penny candy, was as well. It was literally penny candy, getting me 100 Swedish fish or Sour Bears for $1. I feel like my grandfather now saying this, but I have to say - you can't find real Penny Candy anymore. To be fair, I haven't been looking - but for the most part, the idea of getting anything for a penny is long gone.
