...make myself leave the dorm. At 8 p.m. I arrive at Charlie’s Kitchen, where some friends have gathered. They’ve been around for two hours, celebrating the return of an old friend and her hubby. He’s a marine and has brought some sailors with him. I’ve never sat next to a sailor. I assume he is conservative and, after a Long Island iced tea, I begin making inappropriate jokes. Something to the effect of “Don’t ask, don’t tell...
...Martinez's new culinary studios in Morrisville, N.J. You will probably find a big batch of 10-year-olds in mini-aprons whipping up a carrot cake or chanting "Viva the chef! Viva the chef!" in time to their vegetable chopping. With folk songs playing in the slick teaching kitchen, the kids hum while their food sizzles. It's an unconventional kind of cooking school, and it really works. Martinez, 38, a Cuban-American former school teacher, has used that recipe to build a national chain of cooking schools for kids featuring courses like Mind, Body and Belly...

At the Tempe, Ariz., flagship, "Cereologists"--pajama-clad servers--serve up plain old corn flakes as well as fancier combos. Among their popular concoctions: Devil Made Me Do It, combining Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms with chocolate milk and malt balls. On Nov. 29, a 1,500-sq.-ft. Philadelphia outpost...
...excoriate and extol and exhort in uplifting cadences about this evil war, the miserable economy that is bringing back the 60-hr. workweek and the folks who don't mind this war so long as their kids don't have to fight it. Afterward we hobnob in the kitchen and enjoy a little solidarity around coffee and fudge bars, but as I drive home, the car wants to head west out across the prairie, toward the wilderness, away from newspapers and TV and politics, to a cabin, a lake, a boat, a bed, a fire, a book, where I could...
