The e-mailer promoted mobile app development, claiming:

Did you know, there will be 21 Billion Apps to be downloaded in 2013 as compared to 5 million Apps downloaded in 2010!!!

On Oct 15, 2013, I used Angel Hair pasta.

The recipe said prep time was 10 minutes. Not for me. Maybe for a team of people working in the kitchen.

I used the Amish Paste plum tomatoes from our garden. The recipe said 8 medium tomatoes, but I'm unsure what a "medium" tomato is. I used 10 of our plum tomatoes, since a couple were on the small-ish side.

I used fresh basil from our potted plant in our backyard.

We grew four species of tomatoes in our backyard garden in 2013. As of now, October 16, the garden is still producing tomatoes. Many green ones are still ripening slowly. No frost yet this season. No real threat of a frost thus far this season, so I have not even thought about covering the plants.

We grew:

Anna's Restaurant at 4505 Woodville Road in Northwood. Like The Budapest, it is a time warp

• Veritas Cork and Craft
• Black Forest Cafe - German food, located in Oregon
• Fowl and Fodder - opens in June 2014 - Opened on Jul 17, 2014, and it's getting great reviews. Creative.
• Wei-Wei
  • We dined at Wei-Wei on Oct 16, 2013, and it was fantastic. I ordered crispy tofu from the Chinese menu, and it was a big hit at our table. I also ordered pho. Everyone enjoyed their meals.
• Ya Halla and here
• Mac & Tongs
• Koreana Restaurant and here
  • I tried Koreana on Mar 14, 2014 at lunch with three other TT users. Great food and conversation. Will definitely return.

I don't do this often enough.

Last Saturday, Oct 12, 2013, we bought eggplant at the downtown Toledo Farmers Market. I also used the skinny eggplant that we grow in our garden for a meal on Oct 14, 2013.

Nothing fancy. I'm sure a better way exists, but this was tasty.

I don't think so. The league does a good job of pretending to care while slowly ruining the game.

Here's an example of the league's rampant hypocrisy regarding the safety of players in the National Football League: the NFL wants to add more games to Thursday night, which means more occasions for players to play on a short rest.

I'm flummoxed by this Oct 14, 2013 Blade story titled

30 arrested, gun taken by police in gang sweep

Gang sweep? What is a "gang sweep?"

November 2012 ToledoTalk.com thread titled The Blade begins All Access subscription for online content

My comments from that thread:

1. - Excerpts from the Facebook comments posted at the Blade article about charging for digital access:

• "I will survive and just get my news from someplace else like television"
• "Time to get used to the local TV web sites for my local news."
• "What a joke! Charge for access to online content? Plenty of other places to get the news."

Everyone probably has a different definition of "news," but how much news can be found on local TV news websites? How much local news can you get by watching a local TV news station?

I'm set with these locations:

1. Phoenix Earth Food Co-op
2. The Andersons
3. Zavotski
4. Farmers Markets
5. Toledo Meat Market

update Jan 26, 2015: - in 2014, Al Hahib Market opened near us, so we shop there instead of the Toledo Meat Market.

I missed it, but according to the Twitter feeds of Taylor Dungjen and Nolan_Rosenkrans, it does sound like they were "swinging hard" at each other. More interesting tweets at The 22nd Floor.
