Make A Plan For Your Local Veggies Using Advice From AnnieRie, Plus More Local Food Writing

If you care about food in Howard County, you should be reading the AnnieRie Unplugged blog -- especially its coverage of CSAs, the Food and Friends company, and other options for sourcing produce, meats and more.

Last week, Annie gave an update on how she is using Friends and Farms, farmers markets and other sources to push for good-tasting, often-local food.  If you like that, click around on the tags at the bottom of her posts -- like all her posts about CSAs.  Or check out the Kitchen Scribble blog's CSA posts.

Beyond Annie, there are a bunch of people writing about local food.  Links feel more important as I have less time to write and as all the newspapers and magazines seem to shrink their local coverage:

• Ol' Ironstomach wrote up Tigi's Ethiopian on Don Rockwell.  Tigi's Ethiopian is my favorite -- and as far as I know the only -- Ethiopian restaurant in Howard County.
• The Unmanly Chef wrote up the Big Belly Deli in Sykesville.  He hypes the turkey club and the onion rings.  That's a good-looking sandwich, and I have already announced plans to annex Sykesville to get Salazon and the French Twist Cafe.
• Duane counted cars at the drive-in Starbucks in Columbia on HoCo Connect.

As always, HoCo Blogs is a great place to start if you're looking around for local writing.  The local food blogging appears on the HoCo Blogs page about food.

(Update:  I fixed an error above where I had meant Friends and Farms and written Food and Friesnds.)
