Owner Susan Graff has run the family farm since 1997, and she’s been participating in the OSU-OKC Farmers’ Market for most of those years. “You get to meet the farmer, and you know where everything is grown,” she said of farmers’ markets. “In meeting the farmer, you can talk to them about how their product […]

Beat that heat
We made the trek out to the remote corner of the state for the annual Selman Bat Watch, and it was so hot (apparently the thermometer read 113, but I can’t even compute temps above 90) that I bought a hat. And I look horrible in hats. I most closely resembled someone named Wilma, an […]

Geek love
I am an unashamed geek for all things “Harry Potter,” but that is far from the only thing about which I get really nerdy. (Ahem, “X-Files,” “Firefly” and a whole lot more.) And there’s nothing wrong with that. I say, celebrate all those geeky things that you love! Geeks of all ages can find a […]

First watch
Author Constance Squires grew up in a military family and loves rock ’n’ roll. Her main character, Lucinda Collins, also grew up in a military family and also loves rock ’n’ roll. But, Squires said, although she shares a lot with her character, the two are very different. “There’s not a single event in the […]

Salad supreme
But light doesn’t need to mean lightweight. Salad can be a whole, satisfying meal. Trust us, it’s more than just rabbit food. Give it a try and get your fill. “Cheever’s is contemporary comfort food, so it’s definitely enough for them to be satisfied for the whole day,” said Ariana Khalilian, manager at Cheever’s, 2409 […]

Up top
Lush Fashion Lounge (14101 N.May; 936-0680) has a small but great selection of hats to keep the sensitive skin of your face from getting all sunspotty and droopy. (I look absolutely awful in hats, so I have to go the mega- SPF route instead.) I loved the super-cute fedoras by The Hatter Company. The woven […]

Staying in
But there’s a problem: My patriotism peters out around 80 degrees. And it will most assuredly be north of 80 degrees this weekend (unless my appeals to the Sun God Ra have finally been answered). So, last week, I was going on about vacation, and this week, I’m backtracking. Shut the doors, close the blinds, […]

Cafe central
Incidentally, I realized I loved this type of food while staying at a lodge in Costa Rica some years back that was renowned for its bird watching. The food of Costa Rica, which sits farther down the narrow snake of land that forms Central America, loses some of Guatemala’s spice, but the foundations are there: […]

Heading out
People: Take your damn vacations. We’re all a lot happier for it. It doesn’t matter if you’re heading to Thailand or just a time-share in Texas: Vacation is important. Also important? Packing right. I have become a pro at packing smart and light over the years. Seriously, it’s not cute when you overpack; it’s annoying. […]
