From the World Food File: Brain Vegetable
by Freda Moon
My pops and his lovely lady are in Jamaica right now, where they’re eating something called Brain Vegetable.
This just in, from the AVA’s intriguing foreign foods desk:
“Akee when boiled, drained and simmered in oil with salted dried cod with your choice of vegetables and hot peppers, becomes Jamaica’s national dish Akee and Saltfish.”

Think Locally, Invest Locally
Not long ago the Ukiah Daily Journal ran an unsigned “In Our Opinion” column entitled “Back to the market we go.” The columnist advised readers that, although investing in the stock market involves risk, as demonstrated by the current downturn, “there may be some good deals out there for the smart buyer.”

And I think four, maybe five, people have indicated various degrees of lukewarm support to me personally. None of those five mentioned anything about my basic “platform” that [...]

Here’s a copy of the e-mail (courtesy of Washington City Paper) that got Chris Dovi, a Style Weekly reporter, fired after the e-mail was accidentally sent to the PR guy for a blind motivational speaker named William Weeks (i.e., the “blind fucker” Dovi’s referring to below).

Saving Aaron Vargas – It May be Too Late
I don’t know Fort Bragg carpenter Todd Rowan, but I admire him. In a few short remarks quoted Sunday in the San Francisco Chronicle, Rowan got to the core of the creepy case involving Aaron Vargas, who’s facing a first-degree murder charge for killing his sexual abuser.
“Maybe if we’d all talked more back then, it [...]
