Personal pan pizza from Subway -- It's not particularly healthy. Other than the ability to customize with your own choice of vegetables and toppings, there really isn't anything to differentiate this pie from the ones you'd purchase at any airport in America. But, it's a nice, quick alternative to the run of the mill turkey sub. --D.O.

"Into The Wild' soundtrack by Eddie Vedder -- Not everyone can stomach the emotionally-charged baritone of Eddie Vedder, but if you can, his first solo project, the soundtrack to the 2007 movie "Into the Wild" is a must own. Vedder's lyrics help narrate and complement the film, directed by Sean Penn and based on the true life story of Christopher McCandles, a privileged college grad who dies on a spiritual quest in the Alaskan wilderness. Vedder, who received a 2008 Golden Globe for the track "Guaranteed," provides a rootsy, heartfelt score to a beautiful and difficult film. --Molly Snyder Edler

The Saturday trip to Usinger's -- Bobby Tanzilo's post about Usinger's in this space a few weeks ago was right on. There aren't many things that are more Milwaukee than Usinger's. The family business still thrives in Downtown Milwaukee at 1030 N. Old World 3rd St., and it's a beautiful, beautiful thing that hundreds still flock there as a part of their Saturday errand runs. Usingers.com describes its sausage shop to a tee: "When you visit our shop, it's like stepping back in time to another era. The tile floors, marble counters and wood beams have been in place since the turn of the century. A border mural depicting the elves hard at work making sausage has been in place since 1906. George Peters painted these murals. Best of all ... is the wonderful aroma of all the varieties of sausage when you enter the store. It's guaranteed to whet your appetite!" Open 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays (weekdays, too), it's a perfect stop for samples and to stock up for the week. Even the lower fat summer sausage tastes better when bought straight from the elves at Usinger's. But the fresh little fritzies (yes, get over the name) wow. And, don't leave without a hickory stick or three. --Jeff Sherman

"At Last" by Etta James -- It may seem as ridiculous as recommending the Beatles' "White Album" or another classic, but this song popped up on the iPod during a recent dog walk and I once again marveled at how perfect it is. This was from James' 1961 Chess debut and it was a cover of a Mack Gordon / Harry Warren standard. --D.O.
