Carrie Morbier is a New York based foodie and her Blog, "Less is Morbier" is absolutely one of the best food blogs on the web. In Wednesday's posting she shared an amazing recipe which may be one of the most unique utilization of the meat eater's candy: BACON. I will be giving these a go later this weekend. Enjoy.

Gallup Finds U.S. Unemployment Up to 10.0% in Mid-February
Yesterday I read that economic growth domestically was suppose to increase by 3.2% in 2011 yet unemployment is still a serious concern for all of us. with new lending principals and less trusting attitude amongst fellow citizens, what are the necessary steps to reverse and stop this trend. clearly what it means to "work" in america has greatly shifted since the dawn of the internet and telecommunication. are there ways to better monetize time being spent on-line? Perhaps not, however, maybe online advertisers and goverment agencies could switch the focus of online advertisement from spending and product placement to service and public work projects.. offering Americans with too much time on their hands ways to get involved, better their community, and reach a more promising future thru traditional labor and community organization.

H street Trolley
It's Mardi Gras season. Time for beads, booze, crepes, and po'boys. All of this splendor and much needed tourism revenue for New Orleans is backboned by the St. Charles Trolley. The iconic line that clangs its bell down the cozy tree lined avenue.
The visible growth of the construction burdened and busy Atlas District (H Street Corridor) in Northeast Washington, D.C. (my new and beloved home) has many D.C. locals desiring their own iconic line. However, a lot of confusion remains regarding its timetables, implementation, and organization.
For those unaware, it is not a new system. In the roaring '20s it was Washingtonians preferred transit method. Lines crossed through many, now inaccessible Capitol Hill communities. Then in the name of industrialization and progress it was bought by bus companies, paved over, and now is as ineffective as ever.
Clearly our country is in a time of economic belt tightening. Our world is also in turmoil and climate concerns are evident. It is my belief that a restoration initiative for public transit that could stimulate business, generate revenue, encourage employment, and set a model for green transit possibilities. It should be guaranteed necessary budget and be spotlighted as an example of what D.C. is (could be) doing right.
Over the next few blog posts I will discuss metro (and trolley) history, who is behind the initiative, problems being faced, possible answers to the question of powering said trolley and what average people can do to help.
