The blueberry flavored herbal tea does have a slight kick, but...excuse me while I go tweak the coffee maker...
The big culinary news in Kansas City today is the appearance of handsome, tattooed celebrity pastry chef Johnny Iuzzini -- the James Beard Award winner, author of the 2008 cookbook Dessert Fourplay and executive pastry chef at New York City's Restaurant Jean-Georges. Iuzzini is the guest chef at a sold-out fundraiser for the James Beard Foundation at the American Restaurant in the Crown Center complex.
Aaron Deacon of the LTHForumKC went out for Hong Kong-style dim sum at Johnson County's venerable Pine and Bamboo Garden with local celebrity chef and bon vivant Bonnie Winston.
Over the weekend, the Wort Hog discussed that intoxicating staple of Renaissance Festivals and almost any event hosted by the Society for Creative Anachronism: That's right, the fermented honey concoction known as Mead! Not be be confused with this Mead.
On the subject of honey, honey, last Saturday was National Honey Bee Awareness Day, but you can still celebrate it today. But maybe not by watching this.

Sorry Aaron, it did cross my mind this morning that you didn't mention Mrs. Deacon at that dim sum adventure and now I know why she wasn't there: you weren't either! I haven't eaten at Pine & Bamboo Garden in probably two decades (although I did work for the lovely Theresa Lim, a daughter of the P&B founders, at a non-Asian restaurant in the 1990s). That post -- from Geo! -- certainly made me want to go check out the dim sum.
Thanks for the link...it was actually not me, but the poster Geo who has raved about Pine and Bamboo Garden's dim sum.
I'm mostly stuck at potstickers there, but look forward to the dim sum.
Congratulations to Jonathan on the new addition!
