i'm all for synthetic corks for wine, but i can never get them back in the bottle, and i've spent some infuriating minutes trying to shove one back inside. must i invest in some kind of goofy wine stoppers so that my vino keeps?

moby's teany is bottling iced tea. it was only $1.65 at the deli but $2 at the website. ill have to check on the store price. decent. certainly less sickly sweet than snapple.
Still getting to know the new 'hood. So far I've found two gems, both from the same owner. Brown is a little cafe on Hester between Ludlow and Essex. Very nice. I am already sure this will become my regular breakfast / lunch spot. And then right next door is Orange, a small market which you can also reserve for private parties (their third business, Green, is a catering company.) I had been bemoaning the lack of quality food shopping down here, but Orange makes it all better. And it's all the more surprising given it's tiny size. But they literally have everything I need. Very european. Not many products, but they are all the best. Plus breads, cheese, meats (great prosciutto, yum) and a small selection of vegetables. Okay, sure, it's expensive, but so worth it. Very very nice.

My new breakfast of champions: egg, speck, and cheese piada from Piada, 3 Clinton Street. $4.06. Yum.
"The first push to delve into the mystery of beer flavor occurred in the mid-1970s, when a team of flavor chemists from 40 countries identified 800 chemical compounds in the beverage. These compounds—some individually, most in combination—contribute nearly 125 distinct flavors to beer. Brewers use the word flavor broadly, to include tastes, odors, and mouthfeel."
