American Meltdown: TidBit of the Day
Great new Durham foodtruck: American Meltdown with gourmet grilled cheese. From grilled cheeses with figs to basil pesto to Pimiento cheese, this is a must follow! They source as locally as possible, and the bread to cheese ratio is perfect, as is the delicate sizzle of that toast. Flavors sing, and so did I (well, [...]
Earth Day: Speak for the Trees, Go Play, & Baked Brie with Candied Pecans and Cranberries
Dr. Seuss cuts to the chase of what’s at stake, as he does in the Lorax, which has become even more popular with the movie. I have a soft spot for Dr. Seuss (go Big Green!). Like his gabillion and one fans, I never cease to be amazed by his ability to strike at the [...]

See the Bus! April Events in NC & on PBS
Since completing the mobile greenhouse in early March, the Sol Food team has been out and about in downtown Durham offering workshops and tours!

Greenhouse Building: Sol Food Mobile Farm
Over the past three weeks the Sol Food Mobile Farm team has been hard completing construction work on their mobile greenhouse. The back third of the bus is now glowing with natural sunlight through a unique plexi-glass ceiling designed and installed by the crew. The original flooring of the bus also had to go in [...]
Durham/Asheville Road Rules
“Belly full… butt drunk.” This Liberian vernacular expression may explain the love of food, and belly busting laughter that Belinda and I share in common. “Butt drunk” describes the deliciously intoxicating moment that follows a well-prepared meal. It first sets in when rolling and raucous laughter replaces the dull roar of clanging forks and knives. [...]
Vittles, the Wok Next Door: TidBit of the Day
A great new organization located in NC, Vittles, tells stories about food through short documentaries. The organization hosts community dinners and screen these films to “bring together families, friends, and film-lovers,” as well as non-profits and activist organizations. I met the folks last week – and they are as wonderful in person as I had [...]
Respite from the Day: TidBit of the Day
Respite Coffee in Durham, NC is a welcome…respite. This city, which continues to impress every day with some sort of new (usually food-related) find, had still been missing a good coffee and tea shop in the downtown area. The good places for coffee are usually restaurants. And only offer one or two teas. Finally, a [...]
DaisyCakes 2.0: TidBit of the Day
As you may know, one of my favorite cupcakeries in the world is DaisyCakes, which has been at the Durham, NC’s Farmer’s Market in its Airstream for years. Now they opened a physical shop with simple quiches, breakfast sandwiches, omelets, sandwiches, and soups – all locally sourced. Its potato soup is perfectly creamy and its [...]
