The latest from Twitter: @BlueOxCoffeeCompany plugs their peppermint mocha garnished with a Thin Mint from the Girl Scouts (it’s that time of year!), @ngonbistro announces their Valentine’s Day tasting menu, @RogueChocolate marvels that every one of their bars is hand-inspected by the founder himself, and @france44 is serving a decadent-sounding fig salami with blue cheese.
Zimmern sings the praises of Brasa’s goat, tough words about the media conspiracy that brought down Whole Hog Heaven, high praise for Gyropolis in Bloomington, Cheese and Champagne samples some excellent Wisconsin blue cheeses from Seymour Dairy Crest and Roth Käse, South 12th asks why we can’t get high-falutin Scandinavian food around here (didn’t Aquavit try that and then close?), a local online guide to praying and fasting during the High Holy Days, a brief atlas of local apple orchards, local buttermaker PastureLand endorses the idea that runners should give butter a second chance, and apparently if you try to bring jam with you on the plane it’ll get confiscated… even if it’s homemade.
