Golden Oldie

I've been digging into crates of vinyl lately for the sole purpose of checking out the cover art for reference and such. This one was worth the $1.99. Nice mix and composition of various ornate typefaces, metallic gold on a natural black stock, and a book of hand-written lyrics to boot.

Name: Kenny Rogers and The First Edition present The Ballad of Calico

An Old World Olive Oil Company

Carter & Cavero offer a ridiculously tasty array of olive oils and balsamic vinegars from their shop in Red Bank, NJ. The concept behind their company stretches beyond their line of products, however. The interior of their store is classic and tasteful, and most importantly to folks like me who enjoy cooking and eating, you can sample each of their oils and vinegars at their respective tasting stations. If you're ever in the 'hood, drop in, grab a piece of bread and get to dippin'.
