My new Turkish friend overheard me saying it was never good here and I only had the good stuff in the Mideast. She was like, why don't you do it at home? She hooked me up. I never realized I could do this and it's better than any I've had in US.
That’s the crispiest Turkish coffee I’ve ever seen.

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

Article 22 is a jewelry company that repurposes Vietnam War shrapnel and battlefield debris. A portion of their profits goes to the Mine Advisory Group, which works to remove landmines still left in Laos (they've removed more than 300k mines!). I like the company's "Shard" necklace collection.
