Ninja puts on the dog
Community blogger Ninja Poodle, who also does some fine independent blogging, has been to Victoria and Albert's, the ritzy restaurant at Disney World and she says the three-hour gourmet repast was swell, if a little uncomfortable for a woman who maintained proper posture on the edge of her seat throughout. It's a great report.
Her husband was more relaxed and sang the praises of the seared foie gras with apples and other stuff pictured above.

So long Mama Bea's
News release (on jump) says Mama Bea's, the burger place that got its start as an adjunct to an Asher Ave. tire repair shop, is closing on 12th St. and moving to Dallas for possible franchising. Read it on the jump. A reasonable facsimile to the Mama Bea burger will still be sold by a member of the family at another burger restaurant at Kanis and Shackleford.Tuesday, January 22, 2008 - 12:03:26
Just like Lilly's
Sarah Frith writes:
Since the Eat Arkansas blog is comprised of recipe experimentation and reviews of local restaurants, I thought you’d enjoy a picture combining these two elements. A friend made the Hong Kong chicken from Lilly’s this weekend, and it was amazing! It’s nice to recreate this favorite at home, although my friend recommends knocking the recipe down to a third the amount given, or else you’ll be eating Hong Kong chicken for a week.
The recipe has even managed to make it onto the Kikkoman website.

Garlic and Herb Monkey Bread
All my monkey bread experiences in the past have been with sweet monkey bread, so when I saw the recipe for this savory monkey bread, I had to try it. I LOVE garlic, and because rosemary is very plentiful at our house now, it was the perfect thing to try. I'm still a little warry about baking bread, mostly because I don't have that much experience with it, but it still turned out well. This is the kind of bread where you think, "Oh I'll just have a little piece," but before you know it you've eaten half of the loaf.

Winter nights
What do you do on a cold winter night? Build a fire for the dog to enjoy. And cook, of course. Rib-sticking stuff.
Pot roast (I like Kroger's English cut shoulder roasts, which hold a good shape for slicing and they're often on sale cheap) with carrots and new potatoes, which is bubbling on the stove. And a little something sweet, too, like this caramel cake, a recipe from a recent Gourmet. Simple and rich. That icing? Cream and brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
Hunger pains
Kat Robinson at Tie Dye Travels injects a word about hunger among those who can't rush and get a loaded baked potato or a five-pound burger. She writes about the Arkansas Foodbank's annual Empty Bowls fund-raiser for its effort to put nourishing food in the mouths of those who often lack it.

Lord of the Candy
Like Lord of the Rings? Like candy? Well, you're in luck. A couple of food bloggers with plenty of time to spare over the winter holidays recreated scenes from the Lord of the Rings movies using candy. Below is a picture from their site depicting the Battle of Pelennor Fields. You should check out their site for more pics.
These guys have made quite a stir in the food blogging world, and there is even a YouTube video. Despite whether you think this is a waste of time, silly, or awesome, you have to give these guys some creds for being able to make something like this. In a way it reminds me of all those Lego-Star Wars creations.
What would you recreate out of food if you had all the time in the world? Personally, I would like to see the Ben Hur chariot race, or something from Halo.
