What we're reading
Husk Restaurant in Charleston [7]
(New York Times) A spotlight on the U.S. South's newest eating destination. The food is described as a postmodern ode to the city's rich history. It's a delicous read and nice reminder than we don't have to look far to ogle brilliant and rule-breaking cuisine.
(Saveur) The most beautiful pictures of chocolate you'll ever see. Need I say more? (Caution: If you expect chocolate for Valentine's Day, viewing this will cause guaranteed disappointment on Monday)
(The Daily Meal) Clear winner of the list: The Jell-O Gallery [10] in LeRoy, N.Y. Make it a sidetrip on your next trip to Buffalo!
What we're listening to
Tea by the Sporkful [11]
The Sporkful's podcast is always entertaining and surprisingly informative. This week, the two former NPR staffers (and their guest, a current NPR staffer) take on a cold-season staple: tea. What kind to buy, how to make it, and why the Brits will always be better tea drinkers than us.
What we're cooking
(fresh cracked pepper) My friend and I are sweet potato fry addicts, so anything that tastes like a fry but isn't covered in oil is first on our "to cook" list.
