...-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eat Your Heart Out | Paper Magazine Does a Super (Duper) Market Culture, Food By JANE HERMANJuly 13, 2012, 1:30 pm 2 Comments Paper Magazine's Super (Duper) Market Atisha Paulson Brucie Atisha Paulson Scribe Winery Atisha Paulson 123Loading “I’m crying. And dying,” Paper magazine’s Kim Hastreiter says halfway through the tour of her Super (Duper) Market, which will be open Friday through the weekend in Manhattan’s meatpacking district. She is completely elated and, more important, satiated, by what’s in store: “The best ice cream (Humphry Slocombe), the best cornbread (Red Rooster), the best olive oil (Sciabica’s),” she says. Here, at what is a smorgasbord of carefully procured and exquisitely packaged food stuff, all the stars of Hastreiter’s bicoastal culinary-craft world collide. The vendors hail mostly from Brooklyn (Empire Mayonnaise, Morris Kitchen, Mile End) and California’s Bay Area (Boulettes Larder, Modern Appealing Clothing, Tartine Bakery and Cafe). “I’m kind of a maven, and these are really my favorite things,” says Hastreiter pointing to the Tang Brothers noodle stand. “Those are, like, the best noodles.” Walk through the mart and you might sample homemade mozzarella on honey-drizzled toast from the Cobble Hill restaurant Brucie, buy a Sol LeWitt star bowl (Hastreiter’s pick) at...

...How can somebody persevere through racism, poverty, and death? What if they're only fourteen years old? Is the struggle even worth it? In the semi-autobiographical novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, the main character, Junior, learns that through perseverance, hope, and the gain of new knowledge, life can get better for anybody (white or otherwise). He overcomes a major school change, abandonment of friends, and the death of family members, but in the bittersweet end, things have started to look up for him. There is evidence of this occurring throughout the book, starting with Junior's (former) pet dog Oscar. On page 15, the quote "After Oscar died, I was so depressed that I thought about crawling into a hole and disappearing forever" tells us that Junior maybe doesn't deal with grief in the healthiest way. However, by page 215, Junior writes "We Indians know how to celebrate our with our dead. And I felt okay" showing that at this point, he's learned how to get through the struggle of the death of his grandmother. Through time, and with the new lessons he's learned, he gained the gift of acceptance....

...freshman year to fulfill his hopes and dreams, when he recalls that tough school year, he thinks, “...I can’t believe I survived my first year at Reardan”(p.226). Junior did not want to live with the stereotypes. He knew that the other Indians would always hate him but Junior takes the risk. He used his resources just to know what success felt like- and the feeling was priceless. Junior knew that Indian children were expected to fail, but Junior was committed to his future. He knew that if he did not place enough importance on his education or even attempt to succeed, the stereotypes would be right. Junior wanted to stay determined and thrive for success, which he did. Junior loved the sport of basketball, he was an average player at Wellpinit, his old school, but he never thought he was good enough to make a team like the Reardan Warriors. It was basketball season in Reardan and he did not know if he should try out. But, his dad gave Junior a great piece of advice, “You have to dream big to get big!”(p.136), he said. On the reservation, Junior was nothing, he was a decent shooter who could dribble up and down the court without slipping, but, when Junior was told to stay determined he went from zero to hero. He became a starter who was averaging 12 points a game, as a freshman. In fact, by the end of the game, the team was relying on him to win. The main reason for his success was staying positive and attempting what was known as “impossible” for an Indian. Junior placed a lot...
