The New Yorker

It will not surprise you to learn that it was through the New Yorker's food issue, a couple of years ago, that I became addicted to the magazine. Well, this year's Food Issue has arrived, and I can't wait to get to the food articles. In the meantime, I'll share some pertinent and amusing articles that have nothing to do with food. For what it's worth, I understand the argument in the last piece in principle, but now that prices have gotten to where they are, I couldn't afford my house without the mortgage interest deduction. Also for what it's worth, while we're on the topic of me (and also food), I have chocolate milk almost every day, but I don't add sugar; the milk is sweet enough.
