2. A USDA scientist has confirmed the identity of a strange grass-like sedge discovered in a Mississippi graveyard, and believes the appearance of the potentially invasive plant is linked to the final resting places of several members of a royal Gypsy family.

Yes, the terms get a little confusing. Here’s a fairly in-depth thing I wrote for Bon Appetit:
The Original 1762 came wrapped in gold foil, a toasty rectangle of fresh bread, roast beef, cheddar cheese and horseradish sauce. And it was good.
The Earl of Sandwich, a sandwich chain owned and run by John Montagu (the 11th Earl of Sandwich and a member of the House of Lords) and Robert Earl (the creator of the Planet Hollywood empire) is opening a new location in midtown Manhattan tomorrow, and I got a chance to try the first sandwich made at the new spot in the distinguished company of both Earls (along with Caroline Montague, the Countess of Sandwich and John’s wife).
As I chewed, the Earl of Sandwich, lanky and unsurprisingly distinguished-looking in a dark suit and tie, explained how the idea to open a business capitalizing on his family history came about:
“My son Orlando has always said, all my children said, ‘We should have a share of the sandwich, everywhere that it is.’ So it’s been a family standard joke.”
Robert Earl, more casual in his open-collared shirt, took it from there, saying, “His son approached me, and said you’re in the restaurant and marketing world, and we have rather a good brand.”
Which might be a bit of an understatement.
The New Inquiry: The Austerity Kitchen in Bon Appétit -
Austerity Kitchen’s Christine Baumgarthuber is interviewed for Bon Appétit:
The Internet is awash in food blogs, a lot of them pretty similar, but every once in a while something original, interesting, and relevant to our times pokes its head above the surf. The Austerity Kitchen is one…
Happy I got the chance to do a really interesting project a shred of e-justice.

Grandma Rosie and Grandpa Jim, thousands of miles away from any ocean, let alone hurricane.
The old folk’s home next door got torn down, and they’re building a 6-unit condo with an underground garage and a pool.
Apparently my dad is trying his hand at sewing? Or maybe one of the boarders (for the curious art collector, I’m pretty sure I painted that sunflower, but not positive. Also, that’s my day-glo orange Russian paratrooper backpack on the floor! Didn’t even notice it in person).
Oh and instead of getting a new car, my dad got a Vespa (accident-free since a week or two ago…).
Birthday BBQ updates to come.

“Seriously guys, look at all this room. These chairs are so fun to sit on! Please…please can we just hang out on google+? I’ve always wanted a dog, but I’m allergic to their dander, so I got a plastic one. He’s my best friend.”
