i guess today is the day for me to look to inspiring Etsy sellers. here is an interview in The Storque about Treehouse28. She makes great looking clothes and unbelievably every item is custom. Amazing…. and I think I need a pair of those arm warmers. well, back to work!
In the craziness of our holiday rush I took a minute to read this interview from Etsy’s current featured seller, Moop. It’s a good read and I love the clean lines and organic color palette of their bags.
Vital Industres’ toilet graphics have been featured on Boing Boing! check it out here.
yes, we are now back in the land of mountains and cool weather. with the immersion into fall weather our minds turn to the holidays… and orders to be shipped. we have been busy beavers since we got back yesterday. those of you that have been patiently waiting for your packages, please rest assured we will be getting them in the mail as fast a possible. So, enough chit chat for now, but we’ll talk real soon.
The most striking thing about my meal at Buenos Aires’ Kosher McDonalds (the only one outside of Israel, according to my guidebook) was not the absence of cheese on my Big Mac, but the fact that the hamburger patties tasted like beef. Try tasting a McDonald’s hamburger patty on its own sometime – you’ll find your American version warm, salty, and slightly meaty, but by no stretch of the imagination will you be able to say it tastes like beef. This Big Mac’s hamburger patties tasted like pure, grassfed Argentine beef, and to tell you the truth… I found it a little off putting.
Which is crazy to me – I’m a firm believer in the virtues of grassfed animals and responsibly raised crops. Truthfully, I don’t even like McDonalds, and had always thought that a fast food hamburger with some quality meat would be a major breakthrough. But as I chewed on my hamburger I couldn’t get past the undeniable flavor of beef in my mouth. It actually turned my stomach a little; it’s not that I have a weak stomach (I ate veal brain ravioli for dinner last night without a twinge), it’s just that my Big Mac tasted wrong. I’ve deicided to not worry about it, and leave McDonald’s to engineer their burgers however they’d like. There are plenty of other places to eat.
the last couple days have been a bit cloudy and cool. weather perfect for museums and reading books… which is perfect timing becasue our feet are staging a revolt from all our strolls throgh the city. they may just be turning into morcilla. today, taxi please.
