I think your sister is dating my cousin. Did they by chance fly down from Portland for the holiday season? Did he insist on wearing that ugly sweater with the cross- eyed reindeer on it? Did he make you his holiday vegan nog that tastes like extra-


Dear Hipster: You hipsters and your crazy food predilections are killing me. I had my sister over for the holidays. She brought her new hipster boyfriend, who won’t eat corn, milk, and (obviously) gluten. If you’re wondering how I found out about his spe- cial diet, don’t worry, like that joke about vegans at parties, he told me all about it. In fact, nary a meal passed without hearing how much “better” he feels since he “elimi- nated all these toxic foods” from his diet. When I host, I enjoy cooking for an army, and I relish the chance to feed my guests well. Since I had other guests (who, unlike sis’s picky eater of a BF, all dine like regular people) I didn’t change my cooking plans. The hipster BF nibbled at salads and side dishes, and he stored his own soymilk in the fridge for the admittedly deli- cious coffee that he brought along; but he wouldn’t eat much of what I cooked. I guess he can live just fine on organic kale chips and sorghum craft beer. My sister seems totally fine with his quirky dining habits. Why can’t you hipsters just eat regular food? It would save the rest


of us a lot of trouble. — EXASPERATED SIS IN BANKERS HILL


family get-together is a way to improve the situa- tion, nine times out of ten. Hipsters make fantastic bar- tenders, don’t mind chatting up an Eisenhower-era grandmaabout the good old days, and if


you let them play DJ you are all but guar- anteed to learn something. Even if it’s not my cousin, maybe


you ought to give sister’s boyfriend a breakonthisone.Fromwhatitsounds like, homeboy harmed nothing beyond your sense of propriety. It would be a different story if, say, sis coerced you into altering every menu to suit her hipster’s mercurial dietary vagaries, but passing on fettuccini Alfredo in favor of salad is the least of the holiday slights. Plus, a self-suf- ficient houseg- uest is a boon, not a burden. If I were hosting an anti-hipster who insisted on drinking only Folgers coffee and consequently supplied his own, I’d be more than happy to let him to do his admit-


tedly disgusting thing. You should understand that hipsters


wanting you to know all about their hip- ster stuff (be it obscure music or a pen- chant for gluten-free, cornless cornbread) does not necessarily lead to hipsters want- ing you to embrace their hipster stuff. In fact, quite the opposite is true. For now, your future hipster brother-in-law gets to smugly enjoy his hipster lifestyle (which might actually make him feel better), secure in the knowledge that he’s doing what’s best for him, despite the misgiv- ings of others.
