Foodies on vacation

I just discovered a pretty durn cool resource. The US Department of Agriculture maintains a map that lists farmer's markets all across this great nation of ours. While I'm sure that it's information is far from complete or up-to-date, it's still a nice development.

Planning a trip to New Mexico? Now with the click of a mouse you can get an idea where you might pick up some fresh local huitlacoche. A lot of the listings even have phone #s you can call beforehand to find out hours of operation, which, although listed, are probably not very current.

This would make a fantastic Food Network show- a big ol' road trip from market to market, hanging with local farmers and tasting what's good from week to week, from place to place. Of course, if such a show ever happened, it would no doubt include Rachael Ray and square dance lessons. Much like the 8th circle of hell.

Never in my life have I been so turned off by a woman in a bra. I'd have gotten hotter over the same picture but with an octopus ass instead of the head.

This was about the Rachael Ray picture, by the way. Not the panda.
