Bed-Stuy is a funny place to live.  I feel like we belong in a lot of ways, but we obviously stick out in others.  One thing I’m having trouble with is how it’s next to impossible to buy anything without a bunch of unnecessary crap in it.  It’s a struggle to find unsalted butter, unbleached flour, or even refried beans without added lard.  But on the other hand, we have easy access to sweet potato cheesecake and other essential carbohydrates.  I think we just need to convince all our whitey friends to move here too, so that there will be a bigger demand for our hippy food.
