Short Reads Roundup

Hey, folks. This weekend, please read each of these small online articles. Taken together, they equal about the same amount of reading as book chapter or a regular-length article. Be prepared to discuss all of them in class.

 I'd then like you to leave a 200-word comment that mentions at least four of these articles.

For India's Inflation Crisis, See Onion Prices (Business Week)

'Consider the Oyster'-- A Peerless Summer Delicacy (NPR)

How to Make Mud Cookies (Dollars and Sense)

The Angry Chef (Saveur)

Danny and the Electric Kung Pao Pastrami Test (GQ)

This Column Will Change Your Life (The Guardian)


Have a great long weekend!
