in Chicago the other day and it made me pretty happy. On the way out I noticed they had A Lemongrass sausgage sandwich. Rats! That must be good. And they always seem to have my fave "homemade" spicy viet beef jerky. Please open...

I dry fruit all fall, especially different varieties of apples (Mutsus, Russets, Ida Reds and Balwins this year) and a big batch of homemade beef jerky which goes over well with the diehard Atkins dieters. (Refrigerate the...

Beef jerky, or some other dried meat? Dried fruit, like apricots or peaches? Nuts is definitely good. I’m newly addicted to Trader Joe’s “Blister Peanuts”; they are so crunchy and munchy. Or a nice big batch...

). At that stand they had some very good looking salmon and other fish. There were stands selling popcorn, Mexican food, sweet made-on-the-spot crepes, hot dogs, homemade breads, a zillion kinds of honey, jerky, small dessert...

Who said it was interesting? I’ve been on a tofu kick (in part to counter-balance all the homemade beef jerky that I’ve been snacking on!) - had a tofu banh mi for lunch on Thursday – and this made a nice change...

We’re putting together a big care package for a military unit stationed in Iraq. The soldiers have said they love anything home-made, plus the usual (gatoraid, beef jerky, smoked oysters, etc). I know biscotti, nut brittles...

mustard sauce from the boys of Mule Kickin' bbq. The secret to the sauce: Lusty Monk mustard. Waiting for the fireworks, we also enjoyed ice cream, tea, the NYTimes, and wireless at Magpie’s. We stopped for elk jerky and...

Tini is now called Home/Made, a block up the road. Still as good as ever. Adding to the list, the IceHouse has pretty great pulled pork sandwiches ($3), homemade beef jerky, cheap beers, and a pleasant outdoor area.

I stopped at Joe’s Noodle House yesterday. I used to be able to order well there. Something’s happened. I got the N36, which I do like and came as expected. I got some cold dishes to go for dinner tonight. First...

by itself: a loaf of good crusty, chewy bread. I second nuts (should be shelled) and jerky (recently stretched out a tiny bag of killer homemade jerky over the better part of a cross-country flight).

I went right at 3:30 this afternoon. While only a handfull of vendors were there; Cowboy Corn, Cabbage rolls and perogies, Sickel’s Meats, a home-made salad dressig stall, a bread vendor, it was well worth going for the...

. My friend, who was starving, had the jerky turkey which appeared to be a piece of turkey breast with jerk seasonings, grilled and served on a roll. She ate it all, so I guess it couldn’t have been too bad. I had their...
