This Churros cereal by Post was spotted at a Michigan supermarket this afternoon. Not surprisingly it tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

While hiking in the Hudson River Valley, just an hour outside of New York City, we came across few wild wineberry bushes. Wineberries are a species of raspberry with origins in eastern Asia. They have very large, hairy calices, as you can see in the photo. A man we met on the trail told us that these berries were once used to make wine, since grapes do not grow well in this region.
They were a little bit bitter — I wonder if they weren’t quite ripe yet.
Here is a view of the Hudson River looking south from one of the white Breakneck Ridge trails.
Tomato Popsicles
19 Thursday Jul 2012
I loved yesterday’s lettuce popsicles so much that I stopped by the supermarket today to pick up some vegetables for another batch. This time I liquefied a few perfectly ripe tomatoes with the juice of 6 lemons and a little simple syrup. The resulting popsicles came out even better than the lettuce ones!

I had some lettuce scraps left over from lunch yesterday so I decided to blend them with some sour lemonade and make popsicles. Some of the leafy pulp floated to the top but they still tasted really good!
M. Wells Dinette
14 Saturday Jul 2012
Scoboco just posted this image on his flickr account. Could it really be a first glimpse of M. Wells Dinette at MoMA PS1? First they said on the website that it would be ready in May, then June, now July! I called a MoMA PS1 a few days ago and the receptionist told me that they were hoping to open in July. By the looks of this photo, I’m starting to think she meant July 2013!
Weird Food from St. Louis, Missouri
12 Thursday Jul 2012
I was in St. Louis, Missouri last weekend for a wedding and, since it was my first (and probably last) time in that city, I set out to try all of the local specialties. Crispy snoots are a unique part of St. Louis BBQ. They are simply the fried face of a pig. In my case, it was a hairy pig that forgot to shave (notice the bristles on the snoot in the photo).
One of the few places that sold crispy snoots was Smoki O’s, just down the street from the Four Seasons where we were staying.
The gooey butter cake was, according to the local legend, invented when somebody messed up a pound cake.
Toasted ravioli are known as T-ravs and typically come with a side of marinara sauce. These were the grossest of the three St. Louis delicacies.

This Entenmann’s candle was hiding on a low shelf at CVS tonight. Joyce and I almost took a bite because the aroma was making our mouths water!
Valentine’s Day Flashback

This year I got to spend Valentine’s Day with two people that I love very much. I am sitting on a train to Tarrytown kind of daydreaming and I found myself thinking about the meal we had that night. I boiled some lobsters, grilled some skirt steaks that were marinated in a red curry sauce, grated a fresh som tam, and mashed potatoes with coconut milk. I want to make another special meal for these two. Do you have any ideas?
Gone to Seed

On a walk through First Calvary Cemetery in Queens recently I found some wild chives.
This grass had gone to seed and looked good enough to eat!
If you get a chance, you should visit this amazing cemetery. One entrance is off Greenpoint Ave. The chapel in the back looks like it’s got giant stone pinecones for a roof!
