itty bitty break

Given my convention hangover and my need to gear up for Going Local Week, I'm taking a mini-blogging vacation.

If you're craving food tidbits, I'd encourage you to navigate your way to these locales:
  • The Minimalist takes on culinary lavendar at the NYTimes. With our lavendar-lined walkway, this recipe will definitely be included in next week's dinner plans.
  • The Cupcake Show shows you how to make your own cheese. Another task to add to my cooking to-do list.
  • Almost dried tomatoes at Confections of a Foodie Bride - a great way to deal with an overabundant supply of backyard tomatoes or to make good use of your farmer's market or CSA purchases.
  • Beating my guy Ben to the punch, the Worth Your Attention folks reviewed Maxine's Chicken and Waffle. Haven't you always wanted to eat like an out-of-town guest of RZA? (RZA, by the way, is a vegetarian, but check out a snippet regarding the special bond he formed with Craig Ferguson's mom at a chicken and waffles joint below.)

We don't usually feel the need to dash right out to a new restaurant but we were really excited about Maxine's.
