YOOPER
        
   From Wednesday's NEW YORK TIMES food section, perhaps better known as the 
Johnny Apple all-expenses-paid travelogue. (Clementine Paddleford did this 
same stuff, but in the 1930s; the TIMES makes front-page stuff in internet-age 
2003):
  

By R. W. APPLE Jr.
EAST JORDAN, Mich.
(...).It has no proper geographical name. Michiganders call it Up North.      
      
   The Upper Peninsula (not part of the article) is a special part of 
Michigan, and we've discussed "Yooper" before.  I didn't find that term in the 
ancestry.com Michigan newspapers below.  DARE and HDAS will have--?  The oldest 
trademarks follow.

MACHE
    
   This is from Wednesday's NEW YORK TIMES.  Jesse Sheidlower recently asked 
me about an earlier "arugula," and "mache" is here described as the "next 
arugula":
  

Also at Whole Foods, you can now buy cellophane packages of mâche, the French 
name for a salad green that Americans have long ignored — it grows as a weed 
in cornfields (farmers call it corn salad), but is currently poised to become 
the Next Arugula. Mâche is very tender and sweet, almost like a microgreen 
(the expensive pampered shoots, beloved by chefs, that are even younger than baby 
lettuces). Mâche mixes well with butterhead lettuces like Boston and bibb, 
but on its own it makes an excessively mild salad.Another successor to the 
notoriously trendy

FARAONA
  
   The VILLAGE VOICE restaurant guy is now reviewing "Village" restaurants 
in--Umbria, Italy?  From this week's column, at www.villagevoice.com.  There are 
19,600 (mostly Italian) Google hits for "faraona."  It is not in the OED:
  
The local specialty, faraona al crostone (8 euros), is so good, I've eaten it 
a half-dozen times and never stop craving it—a simple plate of sautéed guinea 
hen mounted on buttered toast and heaped with a grainy sauce of chicken 
livers swimming in garlic, rosemary, and olive oil. It's not the world's most 
attractive dish, but one I defy you to walk away from until you've pulled the last 
morsel of salty flesh from the game bird's bones. Other secondi include strips 
of local steak done medium rare over a wood fire and drenched with olive oil 
and salt, veal medallions heaped with truffles, and pork loin smothered with 
fresh porcini mushrooms.

PEDMOUNT
  
   The cover story in this week's NEW YORK PRESS, July 30-August 5, 2003, is 
"Why the newspaper boxes will disappear from the streets."
  
Pg. 25, col. 1:  From San Francisco to Chicago to Atlanta, a new phenomenon 
is quietly (in some cases, loudly) creeping into the newspaper distribution 
business.  The old system of on-street individual racks--which themselves 
replaced the human on-street hawker--is being replaced by the so-called "pedmount," 
the large multi-rack containing a dozen or more papers.
   The way the system works is this: The city eliminated the old racks by 
fiat, then bids out a contract to a provate company to build and maintain the new 
"pedmount" multi-racks.

  
(Pedestal mount?  I assume it's not "pedestrian mount"--ed.)
