Last night was my third consecutive trip to Jewel-Osco. At this point, the Pillsbury aisle and I are quite intimate.
Walking home with my backpack loaded down, a woman passed me in the opposite direction. “Watch out for the perv on the corner,” she said.
I thanked her, crossed the street to avoid the perv, and thought about how much I love Chicago. Where else can you find a city bustling enough for neighborhood pervs, and pedestrians with enough Midwest sensibility to warn you about them?

The Entry: Sweet Treats. Ugh, gross. This recipe totally failed. Condensed milk and brownie mix do not combine well.
