For San Diego Foodies

I just heard about The Cask Room downtown. Has anyone been there? Sounds like it’s a jazzy, wine-y, snacky fun place for after-work winding down.

For All Foodies and Food Bloggers

Kate from The Accidental Hedonist lays out the case against Coca-Cola, weighing how bad it really is for you. As Coke’s #1 fan, I won’t be swayed from my favorite sugary beverage. But it was an interesting read, nonetheless.

I don’t know how anyone could have missed it, but in case you did… check out the Food & Wine magazine article that basically calls almost all food blogs as boring as a cheese sandwich. First of all, sign me up for cheese sandwich any day of the week! Secondly, get ready to strike back as a community on Thursday which is now going to be Cheese Sandwich Day in the blogosphere. Who’s participating?

In fact, there’s a whole Cheese Sandwich blog now dedicated to the author of the offending article.

Recipes on the Radar

You know how I am about quinoa! QUINOA WITH MOROCCAN WINTER SQUASH AND CARROT STEW from Epicurious.

I love the commentary that Rorie includes in her post on her Potato Olive Frittata. It’s one of her best and most requested creations, but she’s never tasted it because she hates eggs! Too much!

Creamy Quinoa Primavera from KitchenSpace.

And Joe from Culinary in the Desert modifies an Eating Well recipe for Broccoli Chowder into a total keeper. Yum!

Baby Green Salad with Goats Cheese Parcels and Honey Shallot Vinaigrette from The Unemployed Cook.
