Bikeyface had a hysterical commentary on hipsters and cycling in the winter.
Southern cooking happens to be a favourite of mine, and I think this weekend I'll be making biscuits and gravy with this recipe.
Continuing on the southern food theme, Gravy, the Southern Foodways Alliance's quarterly publication, is about food and social justice. With the recent events in Ferguson as well as our headlong rush into the holiday season, this should make for compelling reading. (A membership to SFA might also be a great gift for a foodie in your life.)
Speaking of gifts and the holidays, this list of 10 Essential Cookbooks is great. I have three or four of them on my bookshelf already, but I'm always open to suggestions.
Black Friday confession - I've been sorely tempted by the emails flooding my inbox promising 15, 20, even 50% off items, but I'm holding fast. Whatever reasons you might have to not shop today (anticonsumerism, Ferguson, broke, etc.), keep them in mind as retailers continue to tempt you. If you do shop, support your local shops first. Stay away from the chain stores if you can (apologies to my mother who has to work today although she's not at a chain store).
