We started our Eat Local Challenge this morning! I think we’ll have to stop by Stauf’s this morning on our way out to Ohio Market Day at The Hills Market. I was remiss in stocking up on Silverbridge. Cherub noshed happily on a Holistic Acres Egg from Ashland, Ohio. Hades and I skip breakfast most… Read More Cannonball!!
I figured it’d be best to set some ground rules for the next week of cooking, eating and imbibing. I’ve looked up the definition of local food, and have been presented with a number of conflicting definitions. But this week’s theme from Local Matters is OH So Good.

Columbus, as the locals all know, has a fast growing number of food carts and food trucks. PK loves Foodie Cart. Sweet people. Tasty, creative crepes. And a devoted following. We sampled the two sweet crepes, not having room for the Tigertree BLT with E&C. Sigh. Next time, hopefully. The Azuki Stick was filled… Read More Japanese Crepes from Foodie Cart
