Before I tell you about my favorite food blog content of the week, I’d like to request a moment of silence for the Chargers 2005 season. I love L.T. and the boys, but they just couldn’t pull it together. So which team should I pick up for now?

For San Diego Foodies

The results are in for Chowhound’s San Diego Ultimate Dining Poll 2005. Do you agree or disagree?

There’s a new San Diego food blog on the block! I’d like to personally welcome Kady of Gourmetish to the world of obsessing about food in your very own public forum! I can’t believe how the S.D. food blog population has exploded in the last half of 2005. It’s great! We’re gonna have to get together for dinner in 2006, you guys!

And in related “news…” when I first stopped by Milk & Honey, I left a welcoming comment, but somehow missed that the author lives in San Diego. So I’d like to belatedly welcome Milk & Honey to the S.D. food blogging community. It looks like her food blog has taken off quickly thanks to her rich and practical recipes. Yum!

San Diego Restaurant Week is coming up in mid-January. I’ve never participated before, but it’s definitely getting penciled in for the coming month. $30 per person for a 3-course meal at the city’s best restaurants? Count me in!

Candice at the San Diego Gourmet Club blog lists what she’s grateful for (with specific details) in the local food scene.

For All Foodies (And Winos, too!)

Dr Vino offers an end-of-the-year Wine Quiz for 2005. Since I’m a total newbie to the world of wine, it’s a good place for me to start my quest for learning more and more about the grape and its products.

Check out The Armchair Cook’s 12 Days of Christmas, especially if you’re in need of a laugh!

And another giggle-worthy list can be found at Lick The Spoon where Chandra highlights some very strange cookbooks, starting with the Star Trek Cookbook. She calls them “Must-Have Cookbooks” and I call them just plain scary!

Recipes On My Radar

Heidi chooses her favorite holiday recipes over on 101 Cookbooks. Thanks, Heidi!

Holy Yum! Alicat’s Banana Coffee Cake!

Baking Sheet’s Pear Muffins sound so intriguing… especially because they use whole wheat flour which I always appreciate.

I just bought some pomegranate seeds at Costco and this idea for Pomegranate and Pistachio Yogurt sounds like a great way to use them up.

Happy Holidays!
