Of course, the most titillating aspect of reading this piece was the anticipation of coming upon the infamous recipe for “Haschich Fudge” on page 259.

– HERE IS NO WHY –
As I mentioned, my website has undergone a more or less complete overhaul. So each day I’m going to promote one Part of the site.

– THE BLOG –

I cleaned up the blog and changed the font colors to the darker, wintry format.
Tomorrow I’ll change over the links and images for Galvane. Throughout next week I’ll be promoting my website here; I’ve recently given it a pretty comprehensive overhaul and there ought to be no more dead links.

I will be posting tomorrow (Saturday) instead.

END OF POST.

A couple of weeks ago when my parents came in for a visit we went to the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, which literally every tourist’s guide to New York we own (Jess and I have probably three or four of them) assured us was all that.
