San Francisco | The Prancing Pig
https://purpleplums.wordpress.com/2012/09/24/san-francisco
A little about me. So I didn’t get to blog about San Francisco – I guess we must have been having too much of a good time to be thinking about writing about it! In short though… It was a beautiful city and the weather was good to us. We got to feast on the best ramen I have ever had, oysters that were definitely not as amazing as the Tasmanian ones (but still good) and indulged in some of the most delicious beers ever! Until we met the Wholefood market in NYC! Now we are in NYC! We have been told by the ...

General Sherman – biggest tree in the world | The Prancing Pig
https://purpleplums.wordpress.com/2012/09/16/general-sherman-biggest-tree-in-the-world
A little about me. General Sherman – biggest tree in the world. So I’ve been in the deep freeze for the last 22 months. Many have told me that i could remain in this state, where neither space nor time mean anything at all, for up to 25 years! Nevertheless, I have enjoyed (well more than enjoyed) the last 22 months of being someone’s mother. And so i thought! Out of the deep freeze! I need an adventure! We also went to bel boa park and the Hotel Del – where we had oysters, bbq wings and cocktails&#...

Yosemite National Park, California, USA | The Prancing Pig
https://purpleplums.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/yosemite-national-park-california-usa
A little about me. Yosemite National Park, California, USA. Yosemite is stunning. Though I haven’t quite gotten over those amazing Sequoia trees in Sequoia National Park. I was thinking today, that if those trees were 2200 years old, this means that when Christ was around, those trees were already 188 years old! Today, these trees are still alive. Their immortality is beyond me. Tomorrow, we head to San Francisco to meet more of jason’s family and our friends. San Francisco →. September 1, 2013 at 7:47 AM.

New York, New Fork: November 2009
http://anewfork.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
New York, New Fork. Thursday, November 5, 2009. I am writing my Food Sociology term paper on the notion of hierarchy within movements, obviously with direct focus on the current food movement. My questions being the following (or some mashup thereof): Is hierarchy (or at least the notion of) necessary to the idea of a movement? Do non-hierarchical movements face a detriment when they go up against highly hierarchical and structural institutions? Go to mark 4:30. Wednesday, November 4, 2009.

New York, New Fork: Stumptown Arrives in NYC
http://anewfork.blogspot.com/2009/09/stumptown-arrives-in-nyc.html
New York, New Fork. Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Stumptown Arrives in NYC. So happy. So happy. So happy that I might even go out for a coffee after work rather than a beer! Shocking, I know. Brief synopsis before I direct you to the brief article in the NYT: Stumptown, started in Portland, is a direct trade. Coffee importer, roaster and distributor. Their dedication to the bean. In the end, this is not an elitist pursuit- it is quite the opposite. Their espresso a their coffee shop in the new (and ...
