Love Loaf Bus
A hot thing in food these days is the (insert food) truck. We have the Grilled Cheese Truck, the Shaved Ice Truck, the Kobe BBQ Truck, and of course the old standby, the taco truck. (We lovingly call those “roach coaches” in these parts.)
If you see a little VW bus that’s in disguise as a block of cheese (apparently in the cheese world, these are referred to as “loaves”), chances are it’s the Tillamook Cheese Truck that is doing its Loaf Love Tour in the area for the next month. The buses will stop at various farmers markets, grocery stores, neighborhoods and special events with cheese samples, free recipe cards, buttons and information on the brand. Foodies might be interested to know that their cheeses are made with only all-natural cows. That means they go commando.
When they’re done here, the Loaf Love buses will tour the U.S., stopping at 100 cities in 9 states. We have them here until April 12, 2010. Oh, and of course, there’s a Twitter account for it. Thank goodness, because that’s where I discovered that Tillamook is hosting the second annual Grilled Cheese Invitational. Grilled cheese!

Don’t let the heat fool you. Just because it’s hotter than molten lava outside doesn’t mean that the holidays won’t be here before you know it. Seriously, they’re coming. Read More »

Berries at the Chesterton European Market
I visited my friend Heather over the 4th of July weekend. She advised me that flying Southwest Airlines from Phoenix to Chicago Midway would be easier, cheaper, and less crowded than flying into nearby Chicago O’Hare. I was more than willing to follow her advice, and was ecstatic to leave the 110 degree weather in Arizona for the MUCH preferred high 60′s/low 70′s Northwest Indiana was currently enjoying.
I saw a lot of the area while I was there, including a trip to downtown Chicago and Wrigley Field, but for this entry I wanted to focus on what I’m missing the most about Indiana (other than my friend, of course).
The Chesterton European Market.

I spent the better part of last Tuesday’s lunch hour checking out the Concord Farmers’ Market in Todos Santos Plaza.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past several years, you’ve probably noticed these outdoor grocery stores popping up all over the place. In addition to Concord you can hit Farmers’ Markets in Clayton, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill and dozens of other Bay Area cities.
