Not sure if anyone browses the Internet on Christmas, but I figured I would post anyway because if nothing else, many you would all catch up on archives on the weekend (and, hey, I have important stuff to say!). So, anyway, here are my favorite things of the week:
yumsugar: part of an entire “sugar” network with a variety of channels, yumsugar is now part of my Cool Food Blog list and has been running a series 12 Days of Edible Gifts, including posts for candied citrus peel and peppermint bark.
From Wisebread: Six Simple Tips for Buying Great Affordable Wine (by one of my favorite contributors Myscha Theriault). My favorite tip, which I have used myself, is to search out hidden gems. Look for wines produced in lesser known regions, such as South Africa, for great deals.
From Slashfood.com: I have already sung the praises of the Gift of the Day, but contributor Marisa McClellan deserves some extra love (let’s give credit where credit is due) for turning me on to yumsugar. Also, where else can you find the latest food news and notes, such as The Wine Bailout?
Once again, I scour the Internet so you don’t have to! Please check out these great posts, because finding these gems in across the Internet universe definitely hits the Sweet spot.
