when i first knocked this blog together, i wasn’t really sure what i’d be writing about. as you can see, the first entry is all like, wah maybe i’m too old to be going “woo!” at a rock show, and wah maybe war is a bad idea. unsurprisingly i have slid into this groove where maybe i’ll tell you a little story about my day, with an emphasis on tasty (or otherwise) treats i encountered along the way.

so the new title of this page is “adventures in good eating”, which is a well-lettered sign i took a picture of on the outside wall of a restaurant in seattle when i made a grunge pilgrimage there in um, 1999, when i thought grunge was dead. and now, 2003, it obviously isn’t! hurrah!

today’s tale is: don’t eat those new strawberry ripes whose advertising campaign is in overdrive. the original cherry ripes are so much better.
