The April issue of Food & Wine really knocked my socks off. Iowa City was mentioned not once! But twice! Prairie Lights, my favorite bookstore of all time, was featured because it added a wine bar. Reason: 'to pay homage to the literary society that drank there in the 30's'. Also featured were the sommeliers of the year. A girl at the Chef's Table received the honor. Around the time I was leaving Iowa City for Colorado, new and interesting restaurants were popping up all over the place. The term organic was being thrown around. Since it's Iowa, I think people that visited were surprised. I felt lucky.
For weeks I have dying to bake a lemon yogurt cake. This week I finally bought the ingredients that I didn't have on hand and I'm going to bake it this afternoon. I have enough ingredients to bake it twice, because if it turns out ok, I get a bit obsessed and can't wait to bake it again.
