To start off, a heroine whom _samalander told me about:

An introduction to quince, that fruit I'm always going on about.

Recap/reviews of The Supersizers Go by an entertaining blogger. Also from her keyboard, a lovely essay about her father and the movie Tampopo, and the first time I've ever heard of salt koji, a fermented rice product with similar umami flavors to miso but without the gluten.

From food to love: Monogamy Isn't For Everyone; Polyamory Isn't Going To Ruin The World.

An article on microbibliophilia. I have to admit, the idea of a library that fits in a shoebox does stir my soul.

The Complete Penguin Classics Library. I admit, if I had an excuse to buy all these (such as kitting out a new library) I would be tickled.

Last but absolutely not least: What Google's new privacy policy means for you.
