I’m not dead yet, so I have time to eat a few more foods from the Very Good Taste Omnivore’s 100 list. Since 2008, I’ve chipped off a few: 2. Nettle tea 5. Crocodile 6. Black pudding 8. Carp 9. Borscht 14. Aloo gobi 16. Epoisses 17. Black truffle 18. Fruit wine made from something [...]
Minneapolis city councilperson, Gary Schiff, deserves quite a bit of credit for Minneapolis’ beer business renaissance. For example, Schiff wrote the Brew Beer Here bill (PDF) this summer, which allows growler sales from breweries, which lead to opening of Harriet Brewing on Minnehaha Ave in Longfellow: Ward 9 Council Member Gary Schiff has introduced legislation [...]
Kristi Piehl has an interesting piece up on MinnPost’s Blog Cabin about a proposed bill authored by Senator Doug Magnus (R) District 22 and Representative Rod Hamilton (R) District: 22B (both are from the SW corner of the state).

While spectating at the City of Lakes Loppet Skijoring event on Saturday, I purchased a hot dog and a Coke from the Devine Swine catering tent. The Coke was warm, so I cached it in a snowbank, then forgot about it. Two days later, I remembered and found it. Did I pass the squirrel test?

Buffalo Chicken Waffle Sandwich at Loose Moose Toronto, originally uploaded by edkohler. As if buffalo chicken sandwiches weren’t already good enough, try having one with a waffle for a bun. Try it once. That’s enough.
Pulled Pork Sandwich at Beer Bistro in Toronto, originally uploaded by edkohler. My Uncle Harry has been suffering from a lack of food blogging on The Deets lately. This qualifies.

Aaron and I biked over to Uptown to grab some pizza and check out Give & Take on Wednesday night. Pizza? Yes, I was with Aaron. Galactic Pizza was the choice of the night, for their Second Harvest Heartland vegetarian. A buck goes to Second Harvest, which is cool, but would only be cool if [...]
