Urbanfoodie goes agrarian, waxes poetic
(check out the complete set from Riverbend Farm on my flickr)
Monday afternoon, a friend and I met up for our weekly summer work date. We go over the weekend wrap-up as part of our efforts to further delay the work ahead of us. I give her my update: “I visited a farm.”
“A farm?!?” she exclaims, her mouth agape and eyes wide with disbelief. “Why did you go to a...

In Defense of the Minneapolis Farmers Market |... →
great interview that helps to clear up some confusion about the Minneapolis FM (my happy place). i’ve always wondered the story behind the resellers, always distinguishable by the piles and piles of boxes behind their tables and the stickers on the flesh of the cheap produce. it’s good to know that they’re filling a need to provide affordable produce to those who might not...

– kottke.org considers the gyro after reading this article in the NY Times.
I’ve always said YUR-o. Maybe it’s a regional thing, I’ve been corrected many times when I’ve been in other places.

so much to eat, so little time
the hermano has been in the ‘sota for less than 24 hours, and we’re kickin’ it in high gear on the Twin Cities Tour. the unpredictable weather forecast of scattered showers foiled our plans to go berry picking, so i’m crossing my fingers that tomorrow will bode better. onward w/ the Tour…the cherry - check! local brewery(summit) - check! tonight we’re going to...

New book by Deborah Madison. Her Vegetarian Soups book is one of my all-time favorites.

hmm, maybe this is why i’ve felt so sluggish as i’ve ramped up the training recently…the article’s nuggets:
eat a fistful of carbs and protein ~1 hr pre-activity
eat a small snack w/in 15 minutes post-activity
replenish fluids w/ big gulps of water
stock up on peanut butter sandwiches (i’ll go w/ my recent obsession w/ almond butter)

veggie foodie eats in the TC
the hermano is visiting this weekend, and the mission is to convince him to move here show him how awesome the Twin Cities are. unfortunately, the Juicy Lucy will have to take a backseat cause he’s a vegetarian. though i find myself cooking vegetarian most of the time, i’m not as knowledgeable about the veggie restaurant scene. Regi gave me some great options (Bravo bakery, E-Noodle,...
