Letter From The Editor: The Rs
I try to live my life void of time constraints. I don’t wear a watch, and I’m perpetually in a rush and am nearly always late for everything. I’m not proud of this, and it’s always something I try to improve, but it somehow makes me less anxious, not knowing

Skankynavia: Grabbing Spinach By Its Balls
So I’m having an old friend over for dinner, and he’s a vegetarian. Don’t we all hate cooking for vegetarians?
None of my tried-and-true-recipes-for-normal-carnivore guests, like Beetroot Chicken or Bloody Pot Roast Beef, would fit the food customs of my friend.

“Idle hands are the Devil’s tools.” -Some historic hotard

Breaderico Panini
Introducing Breaderico Panini. Not to be mistaken with Federico Fellini, director of one of my favorite films, Otto e mezzo. (Is that so film student cliche, or what? Alas, I was not a film major. I was worse– the lit major).
Ain’t he dashing? Spitting image of Mastroianni.
