January Links

    So, that was January! A food-related photo and some links lie ahead.

BoroughBees is a blog about bee-keeping, run by a fellow SA goon, and I love it. He's really had a lot to write about since the Mystery of the Red Honey in parts I, II and III and anyone, especially around NYC, will probably be interested in the drama of the story. It's nuts. Almost overnight a whole bunch of beehives suddenly turned a sickly bright red and it's up to our heroes to get to the bottom of things. It's like the beginning of some strange bee-centric horror movie.

Nordic Breads sells their ruis bread at the New Amsterdam Market in NYC every weekend, as well as by internet order, and they're quite good if you like rye sourdough. They were recently featured in a small article in the NYT Dining Section.

Consumption of Buffalo Meat at an All-Time High is the title of another NYT article which discusses the growing success of American bison meat in the markets alongside much cheaper beef. The interesting part is the disagreement between ranchers over whether to finish their bison on grain or not. In my experience with beef, I prefer the flavor of grain-finished meat but a well-reared cow is still delicious either way, and I'm interested to taste the difference between bison both ways.
