...formerly carton-smuggling grandfather gruffly asked me in July, “Do you control the cigarettes, or do the cigarettes control you? You decide.” The decision was made months ago. It just isn’t going to happen until I finish this pack. And then maybe after the next one or the one after that?...
...momentarily had fantasies of preparing a hearty boar ragu with pappardelle noodles, but the slow simmering necessary wouldn’t be feasible in my dorm room. Instead, I settled on a more George Foreman-friendly kangaroo loin. I also impulsively purchased some duck foie gras and a carton of figs that were starved for attention in this meat emporium. Then it was off to Formaggio Kitchen on Huron Avenue, about a 15 minute walk from the Yard near the Quad, where I picked up a block of Greek halloumi cheese. My third stop was Cardullo?...

Rooms include touches such as Egyptian cotton sheets and duck-down duvets. Beecham calls them "beautiful little boxes people can stay in." Standard rates start as low as $115, and the typical traveler pays about $190 a night - roughly 18% less than the London average. Since opening, the Hoxton has been 100% full.

...wholesale price of oranges has already doubled to around $25 a carton, and consumers will start seeing the increase in supermarkets soon. Retailers can get some fruit elsewhere - lemons from Texas, clementines from Spain - but since most of the fresh citrus consumed in the U.S. comes from California (partly because of limits on imports), the impact of the freeze is practically unavoidable. Florida produces more citrus overall, but almost all of its oranges go into juice. "In terms of [fresh] oranges, there really isn't anywhere else to go," says Daniel Sumner, an agricultural economist at the University of California...
