- Reetsyburger has started up a second blog, this one on sustainable eating: You Are Where You Eat. She's looking to "open a dialog on the many complex issues surrounding the concept of sustainability in food production and preparation....from the garden to the table." Coolio.
- Northeast Beat interviewed the owner of Totino's and got the scoop on the restaurant's reopening. It's slated for "early next year" and the lease has already been signed for the new space at 2535 Highway 10 in Mounds View.
- I read this on LiveJournal Twin Cities but [caveat] have yet to confirm it elsewhere: Unique and Valu Thrift Stores are having a half-price sale on Monday, Columbus Day.
- vita.mn's one-year anniversary is coming up. To celebrate, they're giving a $500 Macy's shopping spree to the user that racks up the most karma points during the month of October. Day-um.
- Pears are officially in season, and if you can mix them with alcohol for an original cocktail, you can win $1000. Check out USAPears.org/cocktails for details; contest deadline is October 10th.
- Local legend, sex symbol, and gifted playwright Max Sparber gets a sparkling review for his play, "Minstrel Show or the Lynching of William Brown."
- Favored Girl Friday reader and entrepreneurial guard/forward Mike Kraabel sent this to me today: vegan cupcakes decorated with marzipan candy in the shape of yarn balls and knitted items. Absolutely amazing!
A) No, I do not knit.
2) If the link for Max's play review doesn't work, try this one.

That's a good roundup. Got You Are Where You Eat in my RSS reader, had no idea about the pear contest and you know what, I never thought about it, but Max Sparber is a sex symbol, isn't he.

if you saw him in the elvis contest, you already know that max is a sex symbol.
what's the fate of the Totino's space on Central AVE in NE?
to me it sounds as if vegan cupcakes with marzipan in the shape of yarn might actually taste like yarn.

Hey now! I am a civilized lush, and enjoy my alcohol in an appropriately shaped glass. You know who drinks straight from the bottle? Commies.

Weird, I know that guy but not well enough to have made the association by name. It's pretty obvious now, isn't it Alexis? He is jealous because you are both attractive AND thin.
