My Morning Chocolate

My classes and freelance assignments have caught up with  me this week – I really should have a stash of blog posts saved for these situations – and I haven’t had a chance to cook/research/write my usual Thursday post.  But, dear reader, I didn’t want to leave you hanging.  There are lots of interesting and inspiring food blogs and posts out there.  Here are some of my favorites:

• Food & Think blog: I love Smithsonian magazine’s Food & Think blog.  This week, the blog has posts on “science-themed baked goods“ and expiration dates.  And last week, there was a great post on the amazing number of food-related holidays.  A quick look at the American Food Holiday Calendar for March shows that every single day celebrates a different food.  My favorites:  National Baked Ham with Pineapple Day on Easter, Turkey Neck Soup Day on March 30th, and, for my fellow Marylanders, National Crabmeat Day on March 9th.
• Compost Cookie: Since Regis & Kelly posted the recipe for Momofuku Milk Bar’s Compost Cookie, made with equal amounts of sweet baking ingredients like chocolate chips and savory ingredients like potato chips and pretzels, a couple of bloggers have tried out the recipe.  Visit The Amateur Gourmet and Cookie Madness to see their results.
• Baltimore Food Blogs: I’ve learned there are many Baltimore food blogs, many that I haven’t even begun to explore.  But so far I really like BmoreSweet (great baking recipes), Mango & Ginger (food, as well as some culture and design posts), and Kitchenography (great food pictures!).  Each of these blogs has a list of other Baltimore food blogs.  I’ll need to add them all to my Reader and update my links soon!
