During my reading of the New York Times today, I did not find many articles that interested me on the front page. Although they were all informative of many issues going on in the United States and around the world, today I was looking for something different to read. One article on the front page that I did read and think was very interesting was the one pertaining too firing of 1,800 immigrants from a clothing factory. I thought it was interesting because the company was American Apparel, a clothing store that I like to shop at because they make all of their clothing in the US and I like buying local. I thought it was interesting how devastated the company was when they learned they had to fire 1/4 of their employees and that the company treated their employees well, offering heath benefits and stock to its employees.
I always enjoy reading the articles on the Dining section of the Times because I am very interested in food and the food industry. All of the articles from the Wines of the Times and the story on testing school's cooking and food all were interesting this week. One article that made my mouth water was "Ripe for Autumn's Hearth". It had one paragraph describing a tart that she was making that sounded so good I wanted the recipe.
