I really love this set of photos from NPR’s first broadcast from their new digs with a little behind the scenes of Scott Simon in the studio.

I’m not saying that my Christmas List is only going to have one thing on it, but if it did, that one thing would be the Carl Kasell Bowling Shirt. With Carl Kasell in it.

So, apple pie is our quintessential fall treat, rhubarb welcomes the return of spring and a blueberry pie, while best with fresh berries, transports you to a hot day in mid-July even if you use frozen berries in January. via Kitchen Window: The Pies Of Late Summer Get recipes for Nothing-In-The-House Pie Crust, Peach-Pecan Pie, Fig-Pistachio Tarte Tatin and Plum And Orange Flower Custard Galette.

Bob Edwards on PHC triggered very specific nostalgia for dark winter mornings, getting dressed in front of the fire with Morning Edition on the radio before heading off to elementary school.

As Boomers age, the financial uncertainty of retirement keeps many buying just the basics, which can be bad news for grocery stores. ‘On some levels, Boomers are not becoming great customers because of where they are in life,’ Mushkin says. ‘Millennials, on the other hand, are good customers. They seem to want to pay more for attributes that they value.’

Wake Up Call To Grocery Stores: Young People Shop Around

Thoughts?

I’d peg myself somewhere in the middle on this, though probably tending toward the Boomer mentality. I’m an extremely loyal shopper and always shop at the same store for all my groceries. Pretty much the only exceptions come when an item I need is either unavailable at my usual store or it’s on super sale somewhere else.

That being said, my choice of main grocery store is generally determined by product selection and value (and, in the case of Trader Joe’s here in NYC, both of those things plus familiarity, cute boys, and puns. All super important in life).

Man, I love grocery stores!
