...where the Iraq is. Rather, the most popular search requests are for the closest "Wal-Mart," followed by "Best Buy," "Pizza Hut" and "Costco." We've zoomed in so close - we've put on blinders to the world beyond the street-by-street route to the nearest big box store - that it's hardly any wonder that 20% of our populace can't locate their own country on a map. With all of this technology, we've lost the serendipity factor that allowed past generations to expand their horizons and learn about the world simply by having an atlas open...
...selling tins of popcorn on the Web, but you can't eat a bowl with your kids online. "It's something people share," says co-founder Demb. "Popcorn is a snack food with a real emotional connection."

...grossly excessive ($275 Beluga Malossol caviar) to the decidedly campy (blueberry lollipops with edible scorpion centers). I purchased crisp toast as a receptacle for the foie gras, spicy cranberry and wasabi jam, and balsamic-cherry syrup. I made a final stop at the budget-friendly Shalimar India Food & Spices Store in Central Square for crushed red chilies, coconut milk, bamboo skewers, and coriander (cilantro)—all for under $10. Back in Lowell House, I plugged in my faithful George Foreman Grill, cut the halloumi into wedges, and sliced figs in half. I browned the cheese wedges...
