The Organic Milk Continuum Update
I went to a house party on Saturday night, and the host sent Anna to get cream for coffee at the nearby Associated on Knickerbocker. “What do you want, half-and-half or heavy cream?” I said, if they have organic half-and-half, get that, but if they don’t, just get whole cream. She came back in a few minutes: “They had both organic half-and-half and whole cream, so I got both.” I pulled both cartons — marked with a hefty price — from the bag and held them up for the whole room to see. “From the Associated,” I announced. Luis’ jaw actually dropped. I’m pretty sure “the Ass” is the first place in Bushwick proper you can buy organic cream. Sweet.
Update that Organic Milk Continuum chart — next stop, bodegas carry organic milk.

Out east we’re up to our ears in organic milk. At the 24-hour bodega on Jefferson and Wilson ave. They’ve not only got a huge selection of Soy (mainly Silk brand) but a variety of organic milks (not sure about half & half though). I suppose we’re a bit more residential down at Myrtle/Wyckoff but being within walking distance of the new Wyckoff Wine Store has proven a delight!

One thing Jeremy forgot to mention was our simultaneous proclamation, “We’ve arrived!!!”
