- In a comment about Grace Garden, Tony asked about "Mr Kim & the Okinawa restaurant" that used to be open in Odenton. He says it was a fabulous sushi place and wondered if anyone knew what happened to it. Anyone?
- MissMartha posts that the Gorman Farm CSA has filled for 2009, but you can put yourself on the waiting list for 2010. Click here for more about local CSA.
- Anonymous talked up his/her favorite meats -- the slab bacon and the half-smokes at Treuth's and the ribs and sausage at Boarman's. These are great places to visit, especially when you have this kind of recommendation.
- A raft of people commented with Howard County places where you can buy Pop Chips. As I wrote in the comments, I only posted about these chips because I thought they were some exciting NYC specialty. I laughed and laughed when reports flooded in about Davids, Target, KoKo's deli, etc. Thanks for all those comments.
- Another raft commented about ice cream shops -- including the Snowball stand in Woodstock, the Duchess in Ellicott City, the Daily Scoop in Pasadena, and a family restaurant that makes its own ice cream in Burtonsville. Does anyone know which restaurant? [Update: Comments below say it is Seibels in Burtonsville.]
- In a comment about Pazani, the Pizza Blogger asked whether a "wild yeast starter" is used for the dough. [Update: PB explained the starter below. Anyone know what Pazani uses?]
- In a comment to the Pepperjacks post, anonymous asked for feedback on the sandwich place in Hickory Ridge next to the Quickie Mart. I haven't been, although I'm looking for sandwich places. Anyone? Anyone?
As always, thanks for the comments.

The restaurant in Burtonsville that serves fabulous ice cream is Seibel's. My favorite is black raspberry!

A wild yeast strain would be one which is not commecial bakers yeast (all commercial bakers yeast is the same strain of yeast)and contains both a wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria (lactobacilli). Most people are more familiar with the term Sourdough, which actually is not a type of bread, but any bread leavened with a wild yeast.
The bakers yeast used in nearly all modern day pizzerias does not have any accompanying lactobacilli with it and the crust on such a pizza will never produce the same depth of flavor as one competently constructed and leavened with a wild yeast strain. I hope this clears any confusion.
Ah yes, it's Seibel's. Thanks for the response. Ice cream is good, but stay away from the "family restaurant" part.
The sandwich place next to the Quickie Mart on Hickory Ridge is called Arirang Hill. They make good cheesesteaks on the cheap, but I like them best for the wings. They can be ordered 'hot' or I prefer their unique 'mambo' sauce. I recommend ordering the Ehson Special, which nets you a 6-inch cheesesteak and 5-wings for $7 and change. And get the fries, too. They're crispy & good and they only cost $1 with any food order!
They used to be closed on Sundays, but now offer limited hours from around noon to 4pm. They're open Mon-Sat until 2 or 3am...great for late night munchies. Definitely go check out the Ehson Special!
