If she's visiting your blog from the office, that means her IP address will likely always be the same, or similar. Depending on the blogging software you are using and whether you have the required access, there are ways to block visitors from that IP. For extra effectiveness you could redirect any attempts to visit your blog from inside the office to the "permission denied" page that a lot of offices have if you try to access forbidden content like porn, games, etc. Then if she asked you about it you could feign ignorance and say "oh, I guess the office doesn't want us visiting that site" or something similar. And then do your updating from home.

You'd have to be a Grade A Moron not to eat meat.

Watch TV for a while. 95.6% of the commercials will feature dull, idiotic, immature, moronic men for comic effect, while their wives/girlfriends lurk in the background rolling their eyes. I don't know who should be more offended: men, because we are always portrayed as overgrown children, or women, who supposedly feel a need to put up with this dumbasses. Huh.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada here.

I have a different sense of value for day-to-day food purchases than for special occasional meals out. I think many people could justify saving up for the odd visit to a place like Per Se (or whatever the equivalent is in their home city) once every few years, as much for the experience as for the food itself. Eating out at a restaurant like that is more about entertainment than simply obtaining sustenance. But obviously there are few people who could justify eating at a place like that every day, or every week.

To have some sort of fixed upper limit for all food purchases would be pointless: to envision someone sitting at Per Se muttering "Potatoes! I could make potatoes at home for 75 cents!" is very sad to me. Unless you're on the dole, I can't think of a better thing to splurge on now and then than food.

I live close to the new downtown location (Cherry St) and have visited a few times. I have also been impressed. However, it is mainly an Asian supermarket. They do have quite a few "Western" food products, but the main attraction is definitely the ability to find -- in one place -- Chinese, Korean, and Japanese products that usually can only be found in scattered locations across the city. It is also a less intimidating environment than, say, Chinatown for those who are more used to Western-style supermarket shopping. Many also like the deli and bakery counters which sell prepared ready-to-eat Asian foods.
