Truthfully, I am still brimming with glittery happiness on this Fresh Forkin’ Friday from yesterday’s historic House vote. And it’s so perfect that it would happen on Mother’s Day weekend, because don’t all mommies of any flavor/size/political-wing really just want their children to thrive, be successful humans, and find love? I can now almost believe that one of my four kids could have the same…
F3: Feeling Minnesota
F3: Grill Envy
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday I have something to confess … I don’t own a grill. I used to own one, a giant commercial-grade double-wide gas grill that was hard-wired into an outdoor gas line, but we sold it because, honestly, it was too much heat. I’m not kidding, you could tell it was grilling season by…
F3: Narnia
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday I am writing this from, apparently, Narnia. Uncle.

OPENS
Acqua, the fresh little Italian joint in White Bear Lake, has opened their second location, Acqua Forest Lake in that little boathouse that used to be run by Joan Ida a million years ago. While the original…
F3: The Death of Manners
This Fresh Flaky Friday I have a story for you. On Wednesday night, some ladies and I were eating at Spill the Wine, Joy was checking out the new digs and we were having a good time. We were laughing, and admittedly we can be a bit loud, but good golly we weren’t screaming,…
And the New State Fair Food Vendor is ….
I think we could all use something to look forward to, yeah? Like a really great sunny day during which we gobble up corndogs and cheese curds and wear tank tops and fanny packs and all is good in the land. Let’s look forward to the State Fair and know that…
F3: A Man and His Pot
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday is dedicated to Roger Ebert, may he rest in peace. For many of us, far before the Facebook generation, he taught us how to like things with “thumbs up”. For me, when my desire to be a movie writer faded into being a food writer, I lost Ebert for awhile. But I…
F3: Chicken Credit
This Fresh Forkin’ Friday I was asked a very serious question … “If the Easter Bunny is a rabbit, why does he bring eggs? Why doesn’t the chicken get any credit?” Too true, young friend of Jake’s, too true. I can’t honestly answer why we don’t honor the chicken who is the real behind-the-scene’s maker of…
Tasty Twins Territory: New Foods at the Ballpark
Take me out to the ball game, zip me up in my fleeeeeece …
Ok so it might not be the warmest Twins home opener at Target Field on Monday, but the grass is green and the dogs are HOT so let’s get out and play ball! If you’re going for the game, but…
F3: The Only Straw
Last night at dinner in a restaurant, something was wrong. There was a mistake at the table and a dish was cooked differently than I had ordered it. The second I realized it, I alerted the server who whisked the item off the table and apologized. A manager returned with a newly cooked item, made sure everything was cool, and the eating continued on happily….
