SEATTLE — Lunch hour in the South Lake Union neighborhood. Workers walk dogs they can take to the office. Lines form in hip restaurants. Something big is going on here, but the only sure sign of a major employer is the many blue ID cards hang- ing out of jackets. The corporate master here is Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer. Amazon does not put its name on its collection of new buildings in these once- grungy environs, not even the trademark smile logo. The reason for this faux secrecy remains subject to speculation. Anyhow, the king of FROMA cyberspace commerce HARROP chose a city tied to its identity as a liberal and Columnist quirky center of tech savvy.

No matter how hard I tried to keep my garlic salt from clumping, nothing seemed to work.

After getting my garlic salt back to powder form, I put it in an airtight container and put it in the freezer. No more clumping! — Pauline, email FIZZ WITH HALF THE CALORIES. The fizz in soda pop is what quenches my thirst, not the flavor, the high-fructose corn syrup or the empty calories. Instead of soda pop, I mix half a LUANN glass of 100 percent unsweetened fruit juice with half a glass of plain seltzer. This gives me the fizz I crave, along with a nice real-fruit flavor, but only half the calories of a full glass of fruit juice. — GRLA, EC Blog ANOTHER SERVING OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES.
