Yeah, if we're talking chain burger places, Smashburger is the best. (I like the fries too.)

True that the best burgers won't come from a chain. Stuffed cream cheese and jalepeño sounds fantastic - I might try to make that myself this summer.

It's believed that ingesting local honey is actually a natural form of immunotherapy, and can help you build up a tolerance to the pollens in your area that would trigger allergies, just like getting allergy shots.

Oh yes, this topic came up in our birthing class too. It has kind of become a running joke in our class after that NYMag story came out in August.

I actually think placentophaging might be a candidate for Jack Shafer's Bogus Trend Story of the Week - lots of people talking about, nobody actually doing it (except those that read the stories and want to be on the cusp of the trend).

Congrats mk! This article was especially timely for me too -- we're expecting our first in November, a daughter. It's going to be an amazing adventure..

Oh sorry! hehe, I actually did check the new page before posting, but somehow missed it.
