Links: News On Redevelopment And Blog Posts About Beer & Cookies, More Beer & Cookies

It's a slow time of year, but there is still news that touches on Howard County food.

There is a new plan for Wilde Lake village center, home of David's Natural Market and Today's Catch, as reported by David Greisman on Explore Howard.  Similarly, the CA has started talking about revamping the Columbia waterfront, as noted by the Sarah Says blog, which has links to the news.

While you're poking around on those, take a break with other local blogs.  The new AnnieRie Unplugged blog has fun posts about eating local, and other local blogs seemed focused recently on beer and cookies:

• There is a new beer map posted by the BW Food and Drink blog.  He names bars and restaurants, and he links to Web pages.  I'd love to hear his reviews -- or your reviews in his comments -- on those places.
• The Baltimore Beer Guy posted a short piece about how Frisco Tap House has dedicated a tap to the memory of a regular.  
• Try the recipe for "chocolate chip" cookies made with crumbled JoJos from Trader Joes on the P90 Noir blog.  Or the recipe for Mantecaditos shortbread cookies on La Casa de Sweets.
• If you want a cookie and a deeper meaning, check out the 2 Dudes Who Love Food post about a local effort to bake cookies for Howard County's homeless.
