eG Foodblogs: Coming Attractions

Cylindrical meat, cheese and cocktails = a winning blog

Agreed.

Could be Cape Cod . . . the deciduous tree colours are changing.

[Darienne]

But aren't those roses still in bloom? That's further south than Cape Cod???

What if the cheese squiggles on the cheese plate were curds (guessing here), the drink was an Old Fashioned, and the water was a lake?

I thought those were nuts - cashews maybe. And you have a point about the lake - the mustard and such - could be Michigan, Wisconsin or Minnesota.

The sliced cheese in one photo looks like provolone. (or it does the way I slice it!

[KatieLoeb]

It's not me either. Having a hard time placing that body of water. Could be a Great lake, could be Cape Cod, could be Long Island Sound...

More clues please. I know it's someone that cocktails. Need more to go on.

[heidih]

Katie - if someone told you an Old Fashioned was the informally official "state drink" what state would you pick?

[heidih]

Make that "brandy old fashioned - sour"

[Kerry Beal]

Not sure where the water would come form in Texas - but possibly thirtyoneknots - he bartends, seems to love his Old Fashioned's - and with knot in his name might be a sailor.

Wait - nope - the official state of Old Fashioned's is Wisconsin - also the cheese curd - so who's in Wisconsin?

It's definitely someone in Wisconsin then. I know they make their Old Fashioneds with brandy. In fact, once I learned that little factoid I put a Spanish brandy Old Fashioned on the cocktail list at my former place of employ. We called it an Old Fascist (courtesy of the droll mind of Philadining).

So we are in Madison - how about Alcuin?

[KatieLoeb]

That's the Orpheum Theater, so that's Madison, Wisconsin. Who's in Madison?? Come out of your hidey hole! I tried looking through the Drinks thread but couldn't find any matches for Madison. C'mon!! Give it up already!

[annabelle]

I also say Alcuin.

[heidih]

Yup - Alcuin will be our next blogger coming up this Sunday.

[KatieLoeb]

Ehhhhxcellent!

[annabelle]

Woo Hoo! That will be great!

[Peter the eater]

I'd like to see that wonderful farm market, lots of cheese, Bucky Badger ice cream and some Frank Lloyd Wright.

[Alcuin]

Looking forward to showing off my little spot on the globe!

[CaliPoutine]

Outstanding. My partner is from Wisconsin and I made my first ever trip to Madison last Thanksgiving. We had lunch at Dotty's Dumpling Dowry.

[ScottyBoy]

Yes! CheeEEeeeze!

[Alcuin]

I love Dotty's. Catch them on a good night, and their burgers are greatness in burger form. Even at their less than best though, they're still the best in town I think.

[heidih]

Here is the link to Alcuin's current food blog. Looking good.

[heidih]

We hope to have another blogger starting Sunday. Just waiting to see if the internet connection is viable. Stay tuned.....

[heidih]

I was happily surprised to learn we have a good connection and we should see our blogger starting on the 25th.

Here is a first photo:

That box has the word Mumbai on it. Could it be someone in India? Is Jenni in India?
