I’m embedding it here, but I recommend following the link above to their page. In addition to being a larger, clearer version, they provide a map, hours, and [...]

With the kind invitation of Steamy Kitchen’s Jaden Hair I attended a class at the Rolling Pin in Brandon last Thursday night.
First, a word about the Rolling Pin. This place is magnificent. In addition to all the great kitchenware stuff they sell, they also sell wine, cheese, and other edible goodies. At the back of [...]

(I’m still on hiatus, but I dropped the following post at the blogspot address, and figured that for consistency’s sake I should post here as well.)
Yikes! I’ve been spending so much time futzing around with a new design I forgot to put up new content. The other day I even went to Carrollwood Cafe & [...]

Sacre Bleu wine just zapped an ad over to my in-box. I followed the links to find out if they’re associated with Tampa in some way only to discover they’re based in Minnesota.
But what caught my attention is their embrace of social networking to promote themselves. Not only do they keep a MySpace page, but [...]

I’m a huge fan of Michael Pollan’s Omnivore’s Dilemma, (see review here) but only a big fan of In Defense of Food. The first two sections of Defense, “The Age of Nutritionism,” and “The Western Diet and Diseases of Civilization” fit perfectly with Omnivore’s posture of investigative journalism. While Omnivore included Pollan as a character, [...]
